Chris and his team are phenomenal. You don’t need a personal trainer, this guys are well trained and passionate about what they’re doing. My goal was to increase my stamina after my leg injury and it very well is being achieved here. Will suggest this place highly for your physical fitness

Very dangerous the way this business allows its customers to use Vystars parking lot like they own it. The driveway is for customers to enter and exit the property. Not go primal personal running track. The runners do not care, dont look, act like the cars arent suppose to drive there. They also make a very dangerous situation running down 34gh street in giant groups, blocking driveways and apartment entrances.

I love Go Primal so much! I was really intimidated to go at first, but I’m so glad I went! The facility is so nice and clean, and the coaches are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The workouts are challenging but fun. I feel so much stronger mentally and physically being a member here.

Besides the excellent coaching, programming, and facilities, the first word that comes to mind when I think of Go Primal is COMMUNITY.Since starting Go Primal a year ago, I have made numerous friends and seen the benefit of a health community that goes beyond a gym.Doctors, engineers, businessmen, artists, dancers, students, and more gather together every day to challenge themselves and grow. What a blessing.If you are in the Gainesville area and are looking for a new gym, look no further. Welcome home.

Eight years at Go Primal and I wouldnt train anywhere else! Coach Chris has continually evolved his training programs to bring out the best in the athletes who train here. This is such a positive place to improve your fitness, starting with the trainers, the programs, and the people who work out here daily.

At Go Primal I feel empowered to be the best version of myself! I receive knowledge, guidance and training not only regarding exercise, but also the nutritional component of living a healthy lifestyle. Every single coach here has been a significant part of my journey, not to mention the fellow members of this community. The support, encouragement and motivation I receive here has fueled a desire to push the limits I have ever set for myself. This is a community of individuals who are striving to be better today than the day before and I am grateful to be a part of it.I LOVE IT HERE!! If I could stand on top of the tallest mountain and shout for all the world to hear I would, but there are no mountains in Florida, so instead Ill write a google review! Seriously, if youre thinking about checking out Go Primal.....stop thinking and take the action!! Be the best version of yourself and invite Coach Chris and his staff join you on your journey, youll be glad you did!

Best gym ever! I have been going to Go Primal for over a year now and am in the best shape Ive ever been. I started with 2x a week, but quickly signed up with the unlimited plan. The workouts are always challenging and evolving, offering a good variety of activities. I love getting up every day to go to the gym!

My wife and I joined back in March, and have enjoyed every minute of working out at Go Primal. The coaches are great and knowledgeable. They demonstrate every exercise to make sure you know the correct way to performe it, and so everyone in the class is on the same page. They care about your goals and progress. You start to feel like a family or large group of friends as you continue to work out there. I look forward to every class.

Go Primal is the best gym Ive ever been to. I didnt work out consistently until I started going to Go Primal. Now I feel bad if I dont make it 3-4 times a week. The trainers are awesome and they care about you on a personal level. The work outs are diverse which means I never get bored. I constantly feel challenged and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment after a workout. I would recommend this place to anyone no matter where they are in their fitness journey. I always look forward to training at GP. They have conditioning and strength classes if CrossFit isnt your thing. There is something for everybody!

Review №24

I have nothing but positives to say about Go Primal. If you are looking for the intense group training atmosphere without the inherent risk of injuries that come with the typical Box brand, this is your place. The programing here will kick your butt. Be it the general preparation training, the group strength training, or the strong man training, they have you covered. There are certainly other perks and programs available here, so check their website and find out how they can help you meet your goals. Lord knows they are helping me meet mine!Update: 2 years in and I have my strength and mobility back. In fact, I move better now than I did in high school. Great training and great coaches!

I trained at Go Primal for years and there is no fitness community that remotely compares to its all around excellence. Ill sum up my favorite aspects to three main points. First, the leader of the pack,Chris White, is full of fitness and nutritional expertise and is an excellent resource for advice. Second, kick butt workouts that accommodates fitness levels of all types. Third, there is such a welcoming and supportive community that becomes a 2nd family. Go Primal Nation!!

Joining Go Primal around two years ago was the best decision I have ever made. They cater to students with various skills and level of fitness. With options including the group fitness, competitive fitness, Olympic lift training, strong man training, hypertrophy camp, and strength training. I am in the leanest and strongest shape I have ever been in my life. In addition I have made dietary/lifestyle changes that I can carry through the years. Everyone should at least schedule an evaluation and see if it is a good fit for you!

Review №28

Go Primal is the bomb! I love that even if you are a newbie everyone really welcomes you with open arms. From the coaches to the other members. People you dont even know will say a few encouraging words here and there while you are in the middle of your workouts. Its amazing what a few positive words will do to your will power! Just as you think you cant possibly do one more burpee a stranger walks past and says, you got this! All of a sudden you can do 5 more. There is a great vibe at GP where all members help contribute to each others progress. The unique attention to proper technique, flexibility and mobility is also one of my faves about this gym. The coaches are committed to helping us all get better, stronger and healthier. Highly recommend! ❤️

Ive been a member of GP for 2.5 years now. I joined while looking for a new workout routine, having completed a half-Ironman previously. Initially, I only went a few times per week. Eventually I was hooked and now get there 4 to 5 times per week. The workouts are amazing and the variety keeps things interesting.One of the best aspects is the coaching. Ive visited a dozen or so CF boxes around the country while traveling and each visit has reinforced how great the coaching is at GP. Chris and the others are so engaged and very careful about slowly exposing athletes to the more complex movements such as Olympic lifting. And that is only if one is interested in that type of training.At age 45, I am fitter than I have ever been. In addition to learning an amazing amount of information about exercising, there is a huge nutritional component. Thanks to both, I maintain a body fat percentage of 12% to 13%.Stop by and ask questions of all the CF gyms in town. Interview the coaches/owners. Ask about their programming. What youll find is that Go Primal is head and shoulders above the rest.

If youre looking for a gym that will guarantee you results, youve come to the right place. Each and every coach is phenomenal and coaches you in more than just how to work out, but how to achieve and maintain an overall healthy lifestyle mentally and physically. The workouts are always challenging and the longer youre there, the more you crave that intensity. I usually attend the 5am class before my 12 hour shifts at the hospital and it is an incredible start to the day. Great people, great workout, and a place you can call home.

Review №33

This gym is the best! Coach Chris encourages a healthier lifestyle and he gives you the tools and resources to get there. He measured my body fat, and he helped me set a goal. All the coaches are sticklers for safety. If your feet are not properly set, they will immediately let you know. They also have a massage therapist on site. Ive been getting massages for ten years due to chronic pain issues, and I have never had a therapist as good as Dustin. I would not be able to train as hard as I do without him. He is very familiar with the training that we go through so he knows exactly which areas of the body need attention. Also, the people that train there are very friendly and encouraging. No judgement, just hard work. If you are looking for a gym where you can stroll around and look cute, this is not the one for you.

Go Primal and the whole GP community are so supportive no matter what your fitness level. They make me want to succeed and keep improving. Chris has each and every athletes best interest at heart. Chris and every other coach will push you, but always preach quality over quantity. Safety first!

Review №35

In a world full of questionable health and fitness approaches and guidance, I couldnt be happier I walked through the doors of Go Primal. From day one, I have never doubted the quality of coaching, level of knowledge or that the coaches had my best interest in mind. If youve ever felt like you were seen as just a number that paid membership each month, you wont take it for granted that each coach is genuinely dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. With the knowledgeable and passionate staff and no shortage of support and motivation from the community of members, you couldnt ask for more.

Go Primal is more than a gym, it is a community of people that have a common goal. The coaches take complete interests in what is best for each member and focus on technique and overall performance to enhance each and every movement.

Hands down the best gym in town! Chris White and his staff have completely transformed me into a new person (physically and mentally). I do things that I never thought Id be able to do. Ive been a member of other gyms in town and I was always able to lose weight, but I never managed to keep it off. I eventually got tired of the routine and would stop going to those gyms. At Go Primal, you have a different workout experience each and every day with new challenges. The Go Primal community (staff and members) keep you wanting to come back for more. Everyone supports one another and I am glad to be a part of it.

Review №58

I visited a number of fitness facilities in Gainesville, and when I went to Go Primal, I knew immediately that it was the one for me. The owner of the gym began by assessing my fitness level in a one on one session before I committed to paying for classes. That let me know that he truly cares about what he is doing. It was clear to me from day one that he shared this information with the rest of his staff, which allowed the trainers to give me personalized attention, even in a group class. The whole staff is very knowledgeable in body mechanics and have helped me to work through several nagging injuries and weaknesses (knees, hips, elbow, lower back) through proper form and strengthening of areas I had previously ignored. There is also something for everyone at this place - from strength class to group conditioning class to Strongman training to olympic lifting and much, much more. Regardless of your fitness level, you will be challenged, and you will make gains if you put in the effort. In the first six weeks of training, I lost 8 pounds of winter body fat. I continue to gain knowledge of my body, endurance, and overall strength. Those things are priceless because the end result is a healthier, happier me. And a gym full of healthier, happier people is what Go Primal helps to create. The community of individuals here is incredible. I look forward to seeing my teammates every day. Thank you, everyone at Go Primal, for doing what you do!

I have been going to Goprimal for over five years. I have watched it grow and expand and change as new clients came in and old clients aged.

Review №75

I just returned to Go Primal Fitness and Training Gym in Feb 2015 following a 6 month leave. When I left I thought I had a plan in place to stay fit by upping my membership at another local gym to include their group classes. I reasoned that it was more economical and now that I had gotten into the habit of exercising I would be able to stay motivated on my own. Boy was I wrong!! Other gyms just cant compete with the challenging and fun variety of workouts, for both cardio and strength conditioning; the exceptional level of fitness expertise found in all the trainers or the can do, will do, keep trying attitudes of the other members. My motivation quickly vanished and the fat I had previously lost found its way home.When I returned, my bodyfat was bordering obesity. My first workout felt like I was going to die! I was so discouraged and disappointed in how much strength I had loss in only 6 months. But everyone welcomed me back and kept encouraging and supporting me and the trainers made sure I challenged myself but without risking my safety. I joined the Spring Body Comp fat loss competition in Mar. and while I didnt win the prize, I achieved a 21% decrease in bodyfat and gained 7 lbs of muscle in 8 weeks! So I am a winner, without question!And lest I forget, GP employs some of the best massage therapists in the country! (Got to give a shout out to Dustin!) Their affiliation with the Florida School of Massage means we got free 15 min pre and post workout massages from MT students who were new graduates last semester. Super Perk! I now consider Go Primal as my forever fitness family and I wont leave again, unless they throw me out, but even then there will be clawmarks on the door!
