Deka Training System No machines what so ever! You are the machine.

Our facilities are nothing like the run of the mill facilities you will find in your regular gym. No pounding of treadmills, sweating over elliptical exercisers, not a stair machine, rowing machine nor exercise bike in sight. We are stripping – literally! We have taken exercise back to its natural roots. Fitness that means something, fitness that you can use in your everyday life. Its not about being thin, ripped or musclebound. It’s about gaining a good all round fitness that means something. You WILL gain the kind of fitness levels to ensure you are at the top of the food chain in the event of the zombie apocalypse – should it ever happen! Above all you are going to have so much fun you aren’t even going to notice you are training…..too much! By focusing on movement, and using your body the way it was designed to move. By climbing, swinging, crawling, rolling, jumping, balancing, diving, pulling, pushing, squatting, throwing, sprinting, dodging, hanging, spinning, breathing and stretching – all within one very special space! Our facility is second to none. It’s fun, challenging and continually evolving around our customers. We have developed a programme to get you in the best all round shape you have ever been. Think of it as a full a la carte menu if you will – you can pick and choose the elements you like – or you can leave it to our master trainers and follow the all-round conditioning system we have specifically developed to ensure you are the Natural Selection.

Not your usual fitness class. Not even close.

Feeling nostalgic about the days you used to flip, roll and hang upside down? Or perhaps wishing you'd tried it back then and worried it's too late now?

Good news: It's not too late to (re)start gymnastics. 🤸🏾‍♂️

If standing on your hands sounds like a reasonable way to spend your evening, we should talk! 🤸🏽‍♂️

Calling all adults who take fun seriously (but not necessarily themselves 😅).

Our gymnastics classes get you fitter and bendier while you are having fun learning new skills.

Ever felt like you were lacking confidence? 😱

Tried to just "be more confident" but it didn't seem to work? Went to the gym and actually left more self conscious?

That's because real confidence isn't about faking it or forcing it.

At Primal we make sure you start at the level YOU are at, within a supportive environment and coaches that know how to make it work for you!

We have also heard from our members that calisthenics specifically has helped them with their confidence, and we think we know why: check the slides to find out.
