 who

Males and females benefit from primal workouts.  Whether it's carrying your bodyweight or moving a heavy load, primal movements are human movement.

The Beginner and Weekend Warrior
If you have never seriously lifted weights or performed high intensity cardio, Primal Gym is the avenue to a healthier and stronger body, no matter your current fitness level.  Primal Gym trains human movements, so everyone can perform them.  We simply adjust variables such as the external load or resistance, the speed of the exercise, rest periods, and other simple variables to match your current abilities.

Sure, we will address mobility issues, muscle imbalances, and any other temporary deficiencies, but training human movement will remain the foundation of your program.

The Highly-skilled Athlete
Athletes must fine-tune their central nervous system to produce the quick motor skills necessary for their sport.  Athletes must develop muscle strength and size to maximize their sport performance.  Movements in sports follow human movements, or what I like to term, primal movements.  Primal Gym addresses these elements in every way.  Athletes will welcome the simple yet effective training protocols that I implement.  We train with the same level of intensity required in competition.   Primal Gym trains you to be your best!


what

6 human movements with conventional and unconventional equipment such as sleds, heavy bags, ropes, bands, medicine balls, dumbbells, the TRX, and the Equalizer.


when

Sun-up, sun-down, every day, every other day, 3 days a week.  Your recovery time and goals determine your training schedule, and thus, your plan of attack.


where

In a nearby park or in my Primal Gym studio.


why

Humans are designed to squat, lift, lunge, push, pull, and rotate in multiple plans with multi-joint movements.  Simply put, we function best as a kinetic chain.  On the contrary, over-training isolated, single-joint movements ignores instinctive movement and results in muscles and joints not  knowing how to communicate with each other.  Human mobility suffers, risk of injury increases, and quality of life decreases.

The bottom line is this: our ancestors instinctively performed primal movements in search of food and to keep from becoming food.  In modern times, we have forgotten how to freely move.  Primal Gym remedies this.  Primal Gym is primal movement.  Primal movement is human movement.


how

Variations of the squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, and rotation.
