Best CrossFit gym! Been a member since 2018, the community stands out, I’ve met wonderful people here while doing challenging, diverse and ever changing workouts. The coaches are top notch and they are super nice and supportive and get to know their athletes very well and know how to help them get better at the sport. The facilities are always great and inspires an active lifestyle. Highly recommend. Thanks to the Diso fam!

Was a member for five years while living in SM/Venice - Paradiso is the best Crossfit gym in LA, hands down. I can't say enough about this place - amazing community, amazing coaches, the facilities are fantastic and the programming is suitable for all levels of the sport. I got way fitter during my tenure as a Paradiso member and will be dropping in for many years to come now that I've moved out of town.

We did a week of drop-ins and it was amazing! Special thanks to Seth who was fantastic with us. The app makes it super easy to book, check in, and even buy BCAA drinks. I highly recommend this place to any French visitors in Santa Monica who want to train here !

Great place to work on yourself. As a beginner, I truly appreciate how experienced the coaches are and how much time they take to explain the exercises. It’s a very welcoming environment, and it makes starting and building a consistent workout routine feel much less intimidating. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive gym to begin their fitness journey.

I’ve been coming here for 3 years, and it was my first CrossFit gym. The community is amazing—I’ve made so many great friends! I’ve traveled around the US and to other countries for drop-ins, and I can confidently say the coaching and programming here are top tier and fun! The location is ideal, close to Abbot Kinney and just a short walk from the beach. The programming cycles are slightly more challenging than most CrossFit gyms I’ve visited, which I love. They also offer a wide variety of classes: Strength, Olympic Weightlifting, Gymnastics, and even Booty classes! Plus, they have a second location in Culver City, which is super convenient when my schedule gets hectic. Highly recommend—if I could give this place 11 stars, I would!
