Primal Gym

Easily the best gym I've ever been to, the classes (lots of options from calisthenics to obstacle racing to adult gymnastics) really cater to every level, the coaches really know what they're doing and are so supportive. It's also a great way to meet new people as it's a pretty sociable place while pushing yourself and trying out something new at the same time!

My son had his 6th birthday party at Primal gym and it was his best birthday party yet. All of the kids had a fab day and so did all of the grownups. The gym is very well set out and had an ample amount of activities. Thanks to Adam for managing all of the kids and making it a great day!!

Primal is an incredible gym. It has awoken within me a hunger to get back to a high level of functional fitness. It is the combination of the incredible coaches who are exceptionally capable, fully supportive and highly encouraging to meet my goals, and the community spirit that is carefully fostered within the gym. Everyone supports and encourages each other and creates an wonderfully welcoming feeling regardless of how fit one is.My wife and I did the Primal Foundations course which gave us a 2:1 introduction and baseline knowledge to each of Primals training areas (strength and conditioning, calisthenics, gymnastics, yoga and targeted stretching, ninja warrior and obstacle course) and introduced us to the instructors. This allowed us to choose the right classes for us to achieve our fitness goals and to attend without fear as we knew what to expect and had met the instructors.We now attend multiple times a week and feel fully part of the Primal family. I have never had so much fun getting fit and have seen myself progress quickly.I cannot recommend Primal enough!

I found Primal Gym after looking for a place in Edinburgh offering fitness training in groups indoors. And without all the gadgets and gimmicks of some places.In Primal Gym I discovered calisthenics in a friendly community-like environment.

My son and his pals had a fantastic time at Primal Gym. Brilliant space to play and challenge their various skills and abilities across the different elements like monkey bars, rope swings, climbing wall, spring box etc. The coach facilitated with great ease and the kids all engaged with his guidance, motivation, and championing. Juice, ice lollies and cake at the break was a hit and easy for me! It's a warehouse, but doesn't feel claustrophobic like some centres do because it's bright, air coming from open back door, no loud music and nurturing environment. Thanks so much, one very happy birthday boy!!!

Getting fit can be boring, especially as you enter your 40s. Vanity muscles no longer motivate like they used to. You wish you could just be a kid again and jump and flip and do all those crazy things you did as a child but you know you are too old for that! But what if you aren’t? What if you could experience the joy and wonder of a child on a playground as an adult and build strength in a smart and healthy way??? That’s where Primal is different from anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s a community of fun people who are encouraging each other to defy gravity and develop crazy strength.Everyone is so encouraging and willing to share advice and tips when needed. The coaches are so down to earth but also amazing at their craft. I love that the coaches know how to help me start small to go big and that I end a session feeling like all I did was play and socialise but then I look at my Fitbit and see I had a crazy hard workout and didn’t even realise it!

Primal Gym is a great space, offering individual use of facilities as well as a multitude of classes from calesthenics, obstacle courses, adult gymnastics and loads of kids classes too. They have a sprung floor, weights area, A Symetric and Parallel bars, as well as many other equipment and facilities options. They also offer Personal Training with coaches.The coaches are friendly, supportive and very approachable. All the people I've met attending the gym are really friendly, giving it a less intimidating and more social aspect than many other gyms.

Been coming here for a couple years now and so glad I found this gym. It's a fitness playground and the space enables you to work on your functional fitness goals rather than being stuck on machines like at your standard gyms. I like that the membership is flexible and you're not tied into a contract which is great for someone like me who travels and works away. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable too.

My son had his 7th birthday party here and it was absolutely amazing. Massive thanks to Fabio and Jason for keeping the kids entertained and on the go the whole time, I was so impressed and so were the kids! Would definitely recommend.

I love this gym SO much. Coaches are lovely and everyone’s so nice and encouraging… all levels beginner to advanced. The classes are all about fun! ❤️
