David Paradiso

David Paradiso is the founder of Paradiso CrossFit, a two-location gym in Los Angeles that’s been helping people transform their lives through fitness since 2009.  Known for its inclusive, education-driven community, the gym reflects David’s belief that health is about more than just workouts, it’s about connection and doing hard things together.

Before opening the gym, David lived a winding, unconventional life, from acting and restaurant work to cruise ships and living in the Virgin Islands.  Discovering fitness later in life and his background in the service industry shaped his no-judgment approach to coaching and community-building and continues to fuel his mission to help others grow, both inside and outside the gym.
