Expert coaching
Every session is led by a personal trainer or coach, so you'll never be left in the gym on your own, not knowing what to do.
About Primal Fitness
Coaching Newcastle and North Tyneside since 2014.
We change lives by giving people access to exceptional fitness coaching that can be a catalyst for building hope, strength, and self-belief.
What Primal is like
Not a gigantic sweat box
People hear the word ‘gym’ and often think of some gigantic sweat box, with a tonne of fancy high-tech machines. That's not us. If anything, we are a supportive and results-based fitness community.
Community & support
We want to help people get fitter, stronger and healthier, but we also want to have fun. You'll be part of a tight-knit group, having a laugh along the way.
Our goal for you
To give you the tools, guidance and motivation to reach your goals, so you save yourself the stress of going it alone, and get the results you want.
The place
No mirrors, no pressure, no judgement
“As soon as you walk up to the entrance we'll be right there waiting for you, to welcome you by name with a smile. You'll realise this isn't just a normal gym. There are no mirrors, there's no pressure, there's no judgement, just real people moving, laughing and looking out for each other.”
Black walls, red rigs, sleds, air bikes and rowers, and the PRIMAL lettering on the floor: a private coaching studio on the Camperdown Industrial Estate in Killingworth.
The team
Chris and the team
Primal is owned by Chris Grieveson, with a team of coaches who know your name. In our members' words:

More than a gym
The Primal family
Our members train together, and they do plenty more besides: the Winter Games and Primal Games, the Great North Run, Hyrox, walks, socials and coffee mornings for charity. “It's a community where everyone's supportive of each other,” as Sam puts it.
