I can’t say enough amazing things about this gym! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, supported, and motivated. The atmosphere is clean, energetic, and truly inspiring....everyone here pushes you to be their best. Paul is absolutely incredible. Not only does he bring unmatched expertise and knowledge, but he also knows exactly how to challenge me while keeping me safe and focused. He pays close attention to form, customizes workouts to fit my goals, and most importantly, believes in me on the days I don’t believe in myself.
If you’re serious about transforming your body and mind, this is THE place to be and Paul is the trainer you want by your side. Truly life-changing!

Joining Paul’s gym has had an impact on my and my husband’s fitness journey. Paul has built an amazing community that’s both welcoming and motivating—where everyone supports each other and works hard to improve.

The workouts are well-structured, challenging, and designed to help you get real results. Paul knows how to push you to your limits in the best way, helping you break through barriers and grow stronger, both physically and mentally. His attention to form and technique ensures you’re getting the most out of every session.

The structured classes make it easy to stay consistent, and Paul’s guidance ensures you’re always progressing toward your goals. Whether you’re looking to gain strength, build endurance, or just feel better overall, he helps you get where you want to be.

Highly recommend!

Warrior Fitness has been my main source of workouts for the past five years. At age 71, I can still do most of the amazing workouts. Paul Watson was formally trained as a Navy seal and runs the workouts in a para military fashion. That kind of workout is not for everybody, but if you’re looking for a challenge and some great comrades, this is your place.

I'm so grateful to be a part of a gym that has truly challenged me physically and mentally. I love workouts that push you beyond your limits because I feel that is where you truly get better. At the age of 33 I feel in better shape than I ever was. The community is fabulous and very supportive, whether it's your first time or a seasoned athlete wanting to take your training to the next level. Paul is a great coach and can curate a workout on the fly for anything you're training for or want to get better at -- no matter your fitness level or physical ailments.

I love being part of the Warrior Fitness community! I joined in September 2022 and have achieved numerous goals in my overall fitness and health. Paul Watson pushes me to go beyond what I think I am capable of, and I have grown so much. In the last few years, I have dropped 2+ minutes off my mile time, competed in Spartan Races, Deka Competitions, and other events put on by Warrior Fitness. Paul keeps me engaged by always having something planned to compete in or work towards. Best gym in town!

Absolutely love this place because in addition to the great workouts, there's a great sense of community, and everyone is nice, kind and encouraging. Everyone is working on some kind of fitness goal whether it's just to stay fit, lose weight, build endurance, enter into a race, or some other fitness competition. And, Paul is always there to coach and get people ready for whatever race/competition they want to enter into.

This is a different kind of gym. Being a goal-oriented person, I need to see clear results to continue making any kind of effort. I am definitely seeing results at Warrior Fitness, both regarding weight loss and physical performance. The environment is great, and everyone I have found here is very friendly. I enjoy the excellent personal training, and the open gym with personally crafted advice. I find the 24x7 access very convenient because my demanding work schedule makes impossible for me to attend the group classes.

And please dont be intimidated, some of us are from various fitness backgrounds and ages! The group is welcoming, supportive, kind and fun!

I still look at the advertising for Warrior Fitness and think, "I would never go there." I'm not naturally athletic, and I'm a middle-aged mom of three with a career. I'm a yoga and pilates kind of person, and yet here I am, five or six days a week, lifting weights, pushing sleds, and hanging from the ceiling. And let me tell you why--Paul knows what he's doing, and his training works.

My husband started coming to Warrior Fitness about four years ago at the tail end of a weight loss journey of over 80 pounds, and he turned himself into a muscly kind of guy. That did not convince me to come. After having my third baby, I could not get my yoga practice back and was debilitated with wrist and shoulder pain from a lifetime of playing flutes and doing yoga. My chiropractor told me to quit yoga and go build some muscle.

So over a year ago, I begrudgingly walked into Warrior Fitness, and I was hooked. Paul has a gift for adapting his workouts to each person in his class. There are people of all ages and sizes at different points in their journeys, and there are world-record holders and some incredible athletes thrown in. Paul treats everyone with equal interest and respect. He gives people options to meet them where there are at, and somehow every workout is exactly what you need to meet your goals.

Paul is incredibly funny, and his workouts are always efficient, effective, and well-structured. There is always something fun going on, like monthly challenges at the gym or an event we're training for. You can tell that Paul absolutely loves what he does, and that energy is contagious. You couldn't find a more supportive community.

I don't even know where to start! I had moved to Fresno in February and was looking for a gym just like this but didn't know it existed. I was looking for a gym/coach, trainer, etc... that would push me to my limits and then motivate me to exceed them. One workout in and I was hooked and knew this was the place for me. It's perfect for all fitness levels so DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED!! Paul, who is the owner and trainer truly cares about the well-being of each person that walks in and I might add that he basically knows each members' limitations because of injuries and can work around them. It's pretty impressive! His coaching, the workouts, the members, the music.... you will not be disappointed. He also helped me train and prepare for my first Spartan race this past December and I couldn't have done it without him and his training. There needs to be Warrior Fitnesses all over the globe!

I’m probably the oldest (62) member and been here longer than anyone. This place is the home of some the most amazing supportive people. Paul Watson is not only incredibly knowledgeable but has the ability to straddle the line between demanding and encouraging. I never go home feeling less than drained; yet ready to come back the next day.

24 hour availability and a wide range of free weights with some machines. Paul is always tweaking and experimenting so that we don’t get bored. It amazes me how in a class of 20 he can hone in on any member and understand what weight or degree of difficulty that person should be at.

Membership is extremely varied ranging from an old guy down to high schoolers working out to stay in shape with their sports. Add a good smattering of elite athletes training for Spartan Races or military/law enforcement and you have our gym

If you’re an individual that wants to push your limits, this is the gym to be in. Paul has created a community of people that strive to be better than yesterday and make you feel like you’re one of them. A solid group of people that give that encouragement when your grinding it out. If you come to his gym and bring your 100 he will respond with the same. He will push you, guide you, and motivate you towards your ultimate goal.
Paul understands physical fitness to a tee, he has workouts plans for anyone and whatever weight you my be in.
Couldn’t ask for a better gym that pushes you and makes you feel welcomed.

Thanks for the fun times Paul, Morgan and Jason 🙌💪💪💪

I look up to people in Emergency response as well as Military. They are BADASS! One thing other then courage is they are in really great shape. Warrior fitness is a good place for people who are not First Responders or Military but want to train as if they are. (meaning awesome workouts as if you are going to go save someone's life or protect your own) Warrior fitness gave me a sense of belonging and very satisfying body transformations. It wasn't just the classes or personal workouts made for me to do on my own but the motivation I had from just Warrior fitness to push 4-6 hour train days. No not all at once lol thruout the day. It's a really great gym for all levels beginner to advanced. Shout out to those guys that know they are of the top people at the gym in your little circle thinking your all hot lol warrior fitness takes that little circle and makes everyone elite.

Recently, I joined Warrior Fitness. As of today, I’m in my 4th week of training. I’m 60 years old and decided I wanted to feel better physically & mentally. To say that I landed in the right place would be an understatement. Paul Watson and his team do an amazing job with their entire program. I’m pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get connected with some excellent folks who know how to train and bring you along in the process. There is a very nice combination of cardio and strength training along with many other training programs that I have yet had time to discover. Paul and his entire team are very encouraging, knowledgeable and engaged in the daily training routines. Obviously, these guys know what they’re doing. The facility, equipment and overall ambiance and training environment are 2nd to no one. I’m glad I found Warrior Fitness and highly recommend them for any and all of your physical fitness needs.

Warrior Fitness is the best training facility around. The group classes here are unique and better than any other concept I have tried (in Fresno, LA, SD and OC). This gym is great. Everyone there treats each other like family. The personal training available is also comprehensive. I worked with @CoachYess and we went over everything from proper form, to building endurance, and smart nutrition. Would recommend this place to anyone of all levels.

When our community needed someone to have the guts to stand up to our local and federal bureaucracy pushing shutdowns, Paul stepped up. He is a true Patriot who committed his career to serving this country and is ready to help lead folks in their fitness goals . The gym is excellent. Paul's classes our excellent. If you like to go at it alone most of the time(like me), with a little guidance, Paul helps you excel at that too. If you want a feel of "commumity"...well that is there too. It is a really unique and special group of folks coming together to make this place what it is. If you are terrified of non mask wearing folks, this is not your place.

I walked into this gym hoping to just find a treadmill but I came across something way better. The training that I've gotten at warrior fitness has definitely exceeded my expectations. It's not like joining a gym, it's like joining a fitness family! The owner/training instructor is very good at what he does and somehow seems to adjust everything for everyones personal level of what they can do and knows how to give an intense but fun workout at the same time. I have never had such a great workout in my life and would highly recommend this gym for anyone!!

I have been going to Warrior Fitness for almost a year now and I knew in the first class that this was the gym for me. The atmosphere at Warrior Fitness is far superior to any traditional gym. The people that attend this gym are very uplifting, supportive and are like family. Then there’s Paul. The best trainer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He will push you to your limits and always makes training interesting by changing up the routines, hosting outdoor trail training events and track workouts (which are challenging but I totally love them). And when the pandemic first started and he had to close down, he couldn’t let muscular loss set in for his students so he adapted and designed at home/ garage workouts that were tailored for lack of gym equipment and which were still just as challenging as the gym workouts. He works very hard to keep his clients in shape. To summarize, I would recommend this gym for all levels of athletic capabilities, newbies to elites. Paul accommodates to all levels of endurance.

I am training to go into the Military, and because of him, I am confident that I can face any challenge that comes my way in the service.

I found Warrior Fitness a couple years ago after becoming bored with the same old workouts at the "big box gyms". It's a class based workout which I had never been into but now I absolutely love. At 42 years old, I've never been faster, leaner or healthier. The owner, Paul remembers everyones injuries and ailments, he checks with you before class, gives you rehab tips and alternative workouts if you're hurting.
There are tons of great members here, no attitude problems, everyone is encouraging, I love it here at Warrior.
If you're not into the class style workouts, there's open gym too where you can lift at your own pace.

Whether you are 18 or 80, this is a gym where everyone walks in and grinds for one hard hour, and walks out knowing they got a workout. No texting between sets, no selfies on a treadmill, just hard hard work that pays off. If you're in shape, if you're out of shape, this is the best place for you.

If you are looking for a gym to push you and help you reach your goals; this gym is it. Paul brings intensity and an exceptional work ethic everyday. There is a saying painted on the wall at Paul's gym. "The only easy day is yesterday." And that is true. I have been a member since February and there has not been any easy day. Paul also takes the time to help you with your diet. We all know that is a big part of fitness. If you want to get lean and strong Paul and his staff will get you there. Don't buy into you are to far gone. Paul will break those doors down. Take a look at my pics. Also, the environment is phenomenal. No negativity, no judging, just hard work and positive reinforcement from everyone. See you there.

Very unresponsive to messages, will reply once or twice then will never contact you back even when you message with direct questions. If they can't dedicate time to talking to me how could they dedicate time towards helping me reach my goals?

Paul Watson has showed an overall lack of interest working with potential clients for no reason, I could understand if he had said the gym was full or communicated some other reasoning, but the total disregard for quality customer service in a business is despicable.

Paul Watson (owner and trainer) pushes everyone in the group training sessions to break through barriers that you previously thought you could not acheive. He is very positive and everyone who trains there is helpful and encouraging. This is not a place that you can half ass workouts and spend most of the time texting. I've only been there a few weeks and I'm already seeing great results. Classes are only 45 minutes and you will work the entire time. Want to look better and feel better, give Paul a call. It would be great to see you out there.
