Back into exercise, and enjoying it
Luke started with the 6 Week Challenge. “It’s really helped me get back into exercise, and I actually enjoy coming to sessions again.”

01 What changes
Where the six weeks get you
Never too late to start
Paul came to us at 79 with no gym experience at all. “You can take it at your own pace,” he says. “You’re not gonna be pushed.”
Never left guessing
Every session is led by a coach who shows you each exercise and corrects you as you go. Aches, niggles and injuries? We work around them.
02 Meet the team
Hi, we're Chris and the team
Primal has been coaching people in Newcastle and North Tyneside since 2014. We're a small-group personal training gym: you get the undivided attention of a personal trainer, with the energy and camaraderie of a group.
On day one we get to know your goals, any injuries, and whatever has held you back before, and we find a way to work around every ache or pain. Every exercise scales to you, and you'll see people of every size and ability here. They all started somewhere.
The thought of forcing anyone into fitness is our worst nightmare. The 6 Week Challenge starts with a friendly chat on the phone, with no pressure at all: it's a conversation, not a test.
03 Your first step
A friendly call, then your movement assessment
After your details, pick a time and one of the team will give you a ring. You don't need to be fit to start. You just need to start, and we'll take care of the rest.

I’ve been training with the team at Primal Fitness for a few months now, starting with the 6-week challenge, and I ended up signing up as a member — and honestly, it’s been fantastic… They’re friendly, encouraging, and know exactly how to push you in the right way without it feeling overwhelming.

This PT lead gym is fantastic. I've never been to a gym before, all of the PT's explain the exercises and equipment to you and make sure you are doing / using them properly, they correct you if you're not.

Started at Primal in January for the 6 week trial. I'm not a gym goer but absolutely love going so I signed for a year contract… Its not like a normal gym because it's full of normal people, every size and ability.

As someone who has always really struggled with their fitness and felt a bit clueless going into commercial gyms, Primal was the perfect place for me to get started… It's the only time I've started a fitness journey and actually stuck to it for more than a few weeks.

What if I register then change my mind?
You'll get your money back. No hassle, no questions, no hard feelings. The thought of forcing anyone into fitness is our worst nightmare.

It's completely your choice. You can become a full member by choosing the membership option that works best for you or if you decide our gym isn't for you we can part ways with no hard feelings.
