Primal Strength and Movement

Without any form of strength work in a long time I was nervous attending this morning. As soon as I walked in I was glad I did and felt at ease straight away. Great team atmosphere with pól and michael. Thanks and see you next week! More...

I've been to many gyms over the years but this is something different. If you are looking to leave feeling like you've actually achieved something, and know you are doing the correct exercise for your body type then Primal is the gym to join. The instructors are great and know each individual and what they are capable of. The workouts are tailored to your indivudual needs and technique is their priority! The members are great and I've met some good friends. Training can actually be fun!! More...

Started end of January and haven’t looked back. Dedicated and enthusiastic trainers. Programmes that can be adapted to suit everyone’s ability and keep things exciting rather than slogging it out to the same old gym routine

I had not been to the gym in a few years so was a little apprehensive of what to expect! But I didn’t need to worry as Pol, Gareth and Lewis are outstanding in what they do and have a wealth of knowledge and experience between them. I liked that they make me feel that nothing is to much trouble and they have always time to explain and show the various exercises etc. I'd would be more than happy to recommend Primal hence the 5 star review.

I have been training in Primal for around 5 months now. I love it, the atmosphere and dedication from the team are out of this world. I never thought I would truly enjoy going to the gym but this is the place. If you are hesitant about joining take the leap and get involved you wont regret it More...

Best decision I ever made to join primal. Great atmosphere, with a lot of hard work. The guys know how to get the best from you and are very supportive and encouraging. Lewis was an absolute star, giving me the confidence to do things I thought out of my reach, in the first month. The instruction and knowledge is second to none. Best gym around without question........ don’t hesitate just do it . More...

All the guys genuinely care about the members - I've had memberships of many gyms over the years, and never once had someone reach out and enquire how things were going until i joined Primal - could not recommend highly enough on that alone - and the quality of the training is exceptional and deserves 5 stars on its own. Don't ever change Pól and the guys - you are creating something different here and i'm glad to be a part of it More...

I have been training at Primal for the last 8 months and it is by a mile the best facility I have trained in. You are training with the same group who are all in the same boat and support each other and in Pol, Lewis and Kaja you have 3 coaches you push you on at your own pace and ensure your technique is correct. In the past I struggled to stay motivated in training but with Primal the team and fellow users are great craic and the programmes are enjoyable - you are working hard without realising it. More...

Just completed my 8 weeks personal training sessions with Gareth. I have absolutely loved it! I have lost weight, dropped a dress size and just feel stronger and so much better and more confident with myself! Gareth really helped me with my breathing and eating habits aswell as training!!! It is great being able to send photos of my food to Gareth and he always replies (no matter what time of the day) to make sure you are eating as healthy as you can! Not like a regular gym! Really lovely atmosphere and lovely people! I never thought I would love training so much! Thank you Gareth and Primal!!! ��� More...

I had known Pól for a few years through MMA and had even done a few weeks group training with him, so I was excited to see his new place. Meanwhile another guy I knew from coaching tennis, Ross Reaney, was working on the logo for the Ulster Tennis Academy. He became aware of Pól and joined the Primal team, and so I did too.

Ross trained me for six months and really in my head, it was about me getting fitter/stronger. What it became was a life challenging and changing journey for me to seek out what I want in life. I did get fitter and stronger, and became Irish champion in my sport for the first time in my life, but I also took control of myself. I stopped complaining (most of the time!) and started to take responsibility for my own life and happiness. At times it wasn't easy, and Pól was always there to offer his tough but truthful love. I even shaved my head to look like him (and I'm much better looking �), but I enjoyed being in an environment where everyone was friendly, encouraging and took responsibility for their own improvements.

Now I'm doing exactly what I want job-wise with plans to make a real difference in others' lives. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ross, Pól or any of the Primal coaches to anyone who has wished they could be something more than they are. More...

I was with primal for just over a year. Hands down the best place I have been to for knowledge and support.Always had problems with the stomach area (kangaroo pouch I call it) and within months of being with primal this problem area was gone. I felt good in myself. The guys can't do enough for you. No matter what shape/age/capability you may be, you will feel at ease here. Loved it and I have seen good changes in my strength and body. Whole new understanding of exercise. Extremely grateful to the guys for their support throughout my time here. More...

I have been at Primal for 5/6 months and have to say it's the best thing I have ever done. I wasn't really a gym goer, put off by other people that knew what they were doing and in good shape. Have to say I never experienced that in Pol's gym. Made me very welcome from day 1 and didnt have the piss taking out of me too much for not knowing what a squat or KB reverse lunge was (Still dont). In all honesty I have never felt better. Healthy body, healthy mind. My performance in work improved as well. I would advise everyone to give it a go. More...

I have been training with Pól over the last two years. He is an incredibly enthusiastic coach who loves his job and is dedicated to helping his clients improve not only their fitness levels but their mental well being. At Primal there is a relaxed and fun atmosphere, with workouts created to improve mobility as well as strength. All the staff are passionate about their jobs and tailor exercises and eating plans to the individual. A great gym with an amazing team behind it. More...

I have been going to commercial gyms for a few years and never felt completely comfortable in the weights area as it was always overflowing with men donning big biceps and chicken legs. As soon as I stepped into Primal, I felt at ease and that I belonged there- and I'm sure everyone else would say the same!
The coaches are so welcoming and more than willing to help if you're struggling to get the right form.
I love the style of training in Primal, with strength and movement as the focus. In saying that, although not all of the programmes are focused on getting 'ripped' in 12 weeks, I guarantee you'll get into the best shape you've been in- I certainly am! When you go for a session, not only do you get tips on training, but nutrition and mindset too. Everyone is so passionate about training, it makes you enjoy the process too, particularly in a group training environment.
But I've left the main reason for going to Primal until the end...to see Pól (and if he's in his tutu, even better �) More...

Primal is much more than a gym, its a community. I train at Primal in the mornings before going to work and it really sets me up for the day. I feel great. I was in a bad way at the beginning and the coaches really helped me. They have some of the best coaches in the country and they put everything in place for me to succeed. All i needed to do was show up, listen and commit. I did and the results have been astounding. Its been a real life changing experience for me. Great private shower facilities too and if you're nice they might make you a great cup of coffee. I can't recommend Primal enough More...

After going to the gym for about a year now, you'd think I would know what I'm doing! .. Turns out I haven't got a clue and my technique and range of movement is very poor! .. With Pol's extensive knowledge, I have seen the importance of it all! Found my lower back was always sore after training and after every Primal session, it's 100% .. Learning something new with every session! Great facilities and great space, doesn't overload numbers on classes so everyone is looked after properly! .. You can't go wrong at Primal! More...

Came to Primal last August a sad, decrepit 60 year old. Now nine months later I'm a sad, fit 61 year old! I've tried getting fit at various times previously but to little avail. Pol's approach to motivation was refreshing and surprisingly enjoyable. On top of being more mobile and fit, I've also lost just under two stones. This place really changed my life and outlook. If you're thinking of trying Primal out, go! It works! More...

If anyone thought that getting fit was easy.... well think again!!!The training is hard but perfect if you want to get fit. Pol is an amazing coach who tells you exactly what you need to do without making you feel lost. You are taught all the basic fitness you need to push yourself to be the best you can be. Couldn't recommend this gym more. If you have goals to be the best you can be then this is the gym you need to be at #youwontregretit More...

Primal is not your ordinary gym. It's extremely extraordinary!
After 2 back surgeries they took the time to assess and really think what I needed personally. Back to basics in movement, progressing through to weights and now I'm capable of most things. Always made me like I was in safe hands and explained the 'why' rather than just the 'how'. Which really builds needed confidence. They not only strengthen your physical game but realise how much your mental game counts also. Couldn't recommend them enough. Love primal and all they promote. xxxxx More...

By far the most advanced training environment I've experienced. The knowledge of the staff extends well beyond the norm with methods used pushing past conventional training. The skill set and experience of the team is superior to most, if not all, gyms in the area. As a journalist I will always call on the expertise of Pól for commentary on any health and fitness-focused editorials that I put together. Definitely recommend regardless of your fitness levels.

I joined Primal 3/4 months ago having been in multiple gyms in Belfast and Lisburn over the years. There nothing wrong with other gyms but my fitness / strength never really changed.

I joined the Free Range Humans 06:00am group and now benefit from great training from Kaya Pol and Lewis. Have been really pushed and since then my mobility and strength has really improved. Working in a small group to you benefit from support and encouragement from fellow members.Why else would you want to get up for a 6:00am class?! Top marks Primal ! . More...
