The military-style format promotes accountability and camaraderie among participants.

A five-week structured program focusing on nutrition, fitness, and strength development. Participants receive body composition analysis, custom workout plans, and dietary guidance.

Regular accountability checklists ensure consistent participant engagement throughout the program.

I feel privileged to be a foundation member of Paramount since it began 22 years ago! I think my attendance longevity speaks volumes! Prior to Paramount I had attended other gyms but felt I was just another number without the individual attention that I receive at Paramount, that caters for my fitness needs. ParamountHFC has become a second family to me. The group classes led by Brent and Reece ,the most experienced of trainers and great guys have become almost legendary. No two classes are ever the same and I can guarantee you will receive a fabulous workout in a fun and friendly atmosphere

Paramount health and fitness truely is the best gym Ive ever been to. I love the group training classes, especially SAS (strength and sculpt). The owners are super friendly and encouraging, and really knowledgeable about training. The culture at paramount is exceptional, and really integrated with the local union road community. Highly recommend paramount to everyone!

I wasn't a 'gym person' and now I can't stay away. Lots of places say "whatever your level" but it's true here. Just see the members - total range of shapes, sizes and ages but all enjoying it just the same. If you want to just move the body but are intimidated by classic gyms, come. If you are already fit and want to challenge yourself, come. If you like people, come. Also, really handy app to help you plan what you want to do weeks ahead.

I'm so glad to have found this local gym and would highly recommend it to anyone. All fitness levels are accommodated, no 2 classes are ever the same and there's heaps of extras available if you're interested such as PT and BootCamp. Firstly, it's run by an awesome crew who keep everyone motivated and energised throughout the exercises.

Great range of hiit and general fitness classes held at convenient times throughout the day with people of all fitness levels. Classes are always well attended and staff are extremely helpful and friendly with an emphasis on building a community. Also includes a dedicated gym for those preferring to exercise alone or following their own programme
Great quality equipment and a safe, clean environment, very highly recommended!
