Fitness for your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond
It's never too late to get strong again.
At Primal Fitness in Killingworth, many of our members are in their 40s, 50s and 60s, and some are older: Paul started with no gym experience at 79. Every session is coached, every exercise is scaled to you, and we work around the aches, niggles and old injuries that keep people out of normal gyms.
Why it works
Built for where you're starting from
A movement assessment
Day one, we learn your goals, injuries and limits, and find a way to work around any ache or pain so you move safely from your first session.
A coach every session
Small groups of at most 8, led by a personal trainer who corrects your form and adjusts each exercise for you. You're never left guessing.
Your own pace
From total beginners to members with knee replacements, everything scales. One-to-one sessions too, if a group isn't right for you yet.
Strength for everyday life
Getting up the stairs, lifting the grandkids, keeping up on a walk: we train for the things that matter to you, for the long term.

Fantastic place to train. Though I have a bad knee, the team made sure that the training I did was tailored just for me.

Questions
Before you start
Is Primal suitable for over 50s?
Yes. Many of our members are in their 40s, 50s and 60s, and some are older: Paul started with no gym experience at 79. Every exercise is scaled to you and a coach leads every session.
What if I have aches, pains or an old injury?
No problem. Many of our members come to us with joint niggles, bad knees, even knee replacements. Your movement assessment on day one finds a way to work around them, so you train safely from the start.
I haven't exercised in years. Is that OK?
Absolutely. Most of our members start as total beginners, and plenty hadn't exercised for years. We start where you are and build from there, at your own pace.
