Showing men how to get STRONG & LEAN using old school equipment & methods PROVEN to deliver results Whether male or female,
WE PROMISE
You WILL get stronger!
We believe that everyone can become stronger and move freely through lifting weights, improving their mobility and unlocking new movement patterns. Barbells, kettlebells, bodyweight and movement form the basis of our methods. The purpose of our programming is to improve you, not destroy you. You WILL look better! You WILL gain confidence! Primal is not an open gym, instead the focus is on coached
sessions, run in groups of between 4 and 10 people. This enables us to give each member individual attention while helping to build a community of lifters and movers. Of course if you feel you want or need more focused 1:1 attention, that option is always available. Our simplistic approach to programming is based around the StrongFirst principles of "easy strength". We are proud to be able to boast about having some of the most qualified and respected coaches in the country under some of the worlds most respected strength organisations including StrongFirst barbell and kettlebell instructor, Strength Matters kettlebell trainer, Dan John certified coach and Primal move instructor, with many years of "in the trenches" experience coaching men and women, from complete beginners to professional athletes. At Primal we have looked to martial art systems and their principles of a continuous journey seeking mastery of their skills. For us as coaches, it is important to us to have you understand and realise that the only competition you will experience is with yourself. Whether it be lifting a barbell or moving your body through challenging patterns, the goal is to improve. The people around you, both coaches and team members, are there to help you achieve these goals. We believe that through building an atmosphere of encouragement and self challenge, that everyone who joins our programs will discover what they are truly capable of. In a martial art, once you have achieved a certain level of competency you receive a coloured belt in recognition of your time and dedication. We have taken this and applied it to our programming. As you hit certain milestones in training, be it lifting a certain percentage of your body weight in a deadlift, hitting your first muscle up or holding a 10 second handstand, you are awarded a coloured t shirt. Each t shirt represents the time, sacrifices and dedication that you put in to earn it. These t-shirts can only ever be earned. No amount of money can buy one. So when you wear it you know you can wear it with pride. Training with us you will hopefully mean you will never feel awkward or uncomfortable in a gym setting again. You will come to know what works and what doesn't. Our programming takes all the guess work out of training leaving you to concentrate on becoming a stronger, more awesome, version of you.

Awesome job by Dawn
This has been MONTHS of DEDICATION and lots of failed attempts on multiple exercises
But she has NEVER gave up and NEVER not showed up
4-5 sessions in here a week, every week for as long as she has been a member
Can throw out sets of chin ups, bar wide grip pull ups, bar dips, ring dips, full range pistols Cossack squats, ice cream makers and countless other movements
Continuing on with my videos series on calisthenics made it easy for older men
One of the coolest moves you will ever do as a front Lever, it’s also one of the most newly demanding and difficult ones to master
Hence, why is so appreciated by others on Instagram and TikTok
The right equipment, the right approach and the acceptance of requiring commitment and dedication most men will be able to achieve on in their lifetime
The byproduct of master in this movement is a bulletproof core, which carries through to real life application and helps older bodies fail and function like they’re younger
if you’re interested in knowing more about training like this for older men why not give our six week trial a go?

Boxing 101
Hitting the bag is one of the best cardio workouts you can do
Fitness
Coordination
Stress release
Everything a man needs and wants in a workout
So if something so simple can offer so much, why not take advantage of it and get the most out of it.
understanding the principles and practicing the basics can make the session a lot more effective
Step one is learning the stance and the jab

It’s all about balance
Intensity of the body
Stillness in the mind
We are more than our bodies, when you recognise this, you open yourself up to an entirely different experience

While they are more effective ways to train the pull up, bands have been made very common for ease of use and to be able to assist multiple people at one go in a class
This has made them very popular in the gym environment so if you’re going to use a band here are ways you can progress your pull up using them

Cardio is only boring if you make it so
In Primal Strength & Movement, we have ways of making a fun for men
For 26 years I have been involved in Mma both as a fighter on the coach so I know the techniques and skills needed for making hit in the bag exciting and enjoyable

In 2026…
A group of over-40 men were unfairly labelled “past it.”
Sentenced to the sofa by bad knees and busy schedules.
Today…
Still wanted by their wives to take the bins out…
They survive as soldiers of strength.
If you have a Dad Bod…
If no one else can help…
And if you can find us…
Maybe you can join…
The A-Team……
And if that fails, what not try Primals six week trial?
Interested?
