Condition Gym

But with Primal Gym minutes away from home I decided to give it a go. With the help of the professional staff, I’ve managed to keep myself motivated and focused on achieving my goals. But more than getting fitter, I discovered an environment with friendly people and that makes my workouts much better.

It's been great getting back to Primal post lockdown. I didn't realise how much I'd missed it! Whilst I enjoyed the online classes throughout lockdown, it feels great to be working out with others and using weights again. Just getting out of the house in the mornings and exercising has been fantastic for my wellbeing. The coaches have been really supportive as well by ensuring we ease ourselves back into in-person training and the team seems to be very diligent with the COVID health and safety measures. Between reduced class sizes, sanitisation of equipment and checking temperatures at the door, I feel very safe while exercising at the gym. Both the coaches and other members are giving each other space - it's very respectful and so nice to know we're all in this together. To anyone who's feeling a bit anxious about returning I'd say give it a try and head in! You don't realise how much you've miss working out until you get back to it.

Perfect introduction to exercising with weights.The team are all very welcoming and friendly. Steve, my coach was always available to answer any questions I would have about the training plan, by dropping him a text message.The small group personal training sessions are perfect for keeping you motivated and the conditioning section at the end is really fun - they make it unique each time to keep it interesting.Each coach brings their individuality and expertise to work so there’s always someone who can help you with whatever questions you may have.I was previously apprehensive about using any barbells in the gym with weight plates, however you quickly become comfortable using the equipment after a few sessions.If you’re thinking of doing the SGPT trial with primal, I would recommend it 100% - you won’t regret it :)

I’ve been coming to Primal for around 4 years now and I can’t fault it. There’s a great variety of classes, some of which I never thought I’d be interested in such as boxing and calisthenics but after giving them a try I really enjoy them. The class sizes are quite small so you get good attention from the coach and also as they’re small you get to know others in the class so the gym also has a social feel to it too. Whenever I’ve had specific goals I chat this through with one of the coaches and they regularly check in with me to see how things are going which I’ve never had at other gyms. All in all, this is a great gym.

As one of my first personal training experiences the coaches at primal have been nothing but amazing, The training programme and diet supplied by Hector was perfectly suited to me and I have become healthier and fitter than I have ever been. Keep being amazing team!

Joining Primal is the best thing I ever did. To say it changed my life is no exaggeration.Since I joined, I've done things I'd never dreamed of. I've been part of the winning dragon boat racing team at the Leeds Waterfront Festival, I've pushed 360kg on a prowler, and I even pulled an 8½ tonne truck by myself!I'd never been a member of a gym for longer than 6 months before I found Primal. I hated running, I didn't know what to do with a weight rack, and quite frankly I felt intimidated and out of my depth.The coaches at Primal are absolute superstars, they worked with me to build my confidence, encouraged me to try new things, and were always there celebrating alongside my achievements or to give me a boost when I needed it.The classes are great fun, small sizes so you get to know the people you're training with, collaborative and always with games and challenges to keep it interesting. I've made friends for life in the classes, which is a fab boost if you're new to the area.I also joined the SGPT sessions, which I would highly recommend to anyone. You get a personalised workout programme catered to your own strengths and weaknesses (I have hypermobility and all my exercises took this into account, and actually caused my day-to day issues to all but disappear). You also get nutritional advice, as well as help with lifestyle, relaxation and sleep, so it's so much more than your standard workout plan.I always thought that if I'd seen one gym, I'd seen them all. Rows of treadmills and cross trainers, mirrors on every conceivable surface, and a tiny weights area where if I was lucky I might be able to sneak in before being stared away by the resident gym bros, back to the safety of the ladies" weights.Primal is the complete opposite of this. There's not a single treadmill in the building

Literally the best gym in the world! Amazing support from all the coaches! They genuinely want you to succeed and will help you achieve your goals... Friendly supportive atmosphere. Trust me, you won't miss the boring treadmills. I think it's great value for money, it's worth every penny. I never thought I'd make any progress from previous gym experiences but I'm literally the fittest I've ever been! You'd be daft not to join up... Going to the gym is no longer a chore and I look forward to my classes.

Fantastic gym - I have been a member of this gym for 3 months now and love heading down there for my workouts. I have tried many of the different classes and love the feeling. Being new to the city the gym feels very welcoming and straight away i was invited to join in the yearly Dragon Boat experience which was amazing fun. The instructors always seem to know your name and the gym offers loads of tips to help you progress. The tracking of your progress and the tips they give on potential body mechanics issues make you feel they are also invested in you. For me I love the boxing classes which are great workout and there are technical classes for boxing/martial arts. I can really see myself progressing further over the coming year and look forward to it.

The best gym ever! Classes at Primal gym are great and there are fantastic coaches. You are followed with monthly reviews to keep track of your progress and define objectives. And you can always count on some help even if you are training “solo”.After 5 years of being a member, it feels more like family than a normal gym. During the lockdown the gym has offered online classes via Zoom everyday of the week and this has kept me sane whilst it guided me in some home workout to keep training even if the gym was closed.Great people, always available and always listening to members feedback.

I've deeply enjoyed my every visit at Primal since February. Wish they had another place where I'm moving now, because it's unlike any other gym! A great attention to detail and technical knowledge on the part of the trainers, coupled with a brilliant atmosphere guaranteed by fun people to work out with, make this one of my favourite spots in Leeds. They've got something for everyone - you can join classes or work out on your own, whatever your fancy. In fact, I used to HATE classes, and ended up going to my club twice a week because it was so much fun! The space is also great, with lots of good equipment and natural light. Highly recommended!
