I have been a member at primal strength for a few years now, i even started my fitness journey here and it is by far the best gym ive trained at. The sense of community here is like no other gym Ive been to. The equipment is top notch, when you first walk in youll notice 3 large deadlift platforms and a good amount of iron and bumper plates for those who dabble in oly. The barbells are kept clean and in excellent condition, this includes: ohio power bars, texas deadlift bars, axle bars and an elite fts ssb bar just to name a few. Theres even multiple logs and an assortment of stones with varying platforms to stack them on for those who want to try out strongman. Theres also 3 power racks and you never have to wait for them. The owner is super chill and will make you feel welcome, along with the rest of the iron family.

I visited Primal Strength Gym for a celebration of life ceremony for my Nephew, Payton Murray. The gym is just the right size and from what I learned today all who work out here become family instantly. A Must if you are looking for a spot to get you bulk on. Thank you.

As a service member who has bounced between various gyms in Cville, Primal is the best. Its more than just a gym its a family that will be there for you and push you to your limits. If your looking for a serious place to train and community of strength professionals this is it!

Ownership changed, and the gym went downhill fast.

Primal Strength is one of the areas premiere training facilities. You’ll be amazed, you’ll be frustrated, and youll feel a sense of accomplishment. You will literally be in awe of what you can do when youre surrounded by a supportive tribe. Primal is a place where 1. You won’t be judged; 2. You will be pushed outside your comfort zone; and 3. You’ll grow to want to push yourself even more. You will be provided with the tools needed for success: equipment you won’t find at other gyms in the region, bad ass music, and experienced mentors. Bottom line, don’t let this gruesome crew scare you. You’ll be happy you walked through the door. You’ll be happy you became one of them. Whats holding you back? Come join our tribe; were waiting for you!

Great place, outstanding group of people and definitely the strongest gym in Cville! Worth my drive time and will be back!

I love this place! Its designed for weightlifting, cross fit, and strongman training. It differs greatly from other area gyms and has a great atmosphere. If youre serious about training and enjoy heavy lifting over cardio focused methods, this place is definitely for you. The staff is knowledgeable and will do personal training. Very flexible hours of operation and payment plans.

Awesome gym for anybody seriously interested in getting stronger, more athletic, or more fit. The owner, Tank, is friendly and the prices are reasonable.Primal has special equipment you wont see most other places: weighted sleds, weighted belts, FatGrips, reverse hyper extension bench. This is not your average gym, its the best gym Ive ever been to!

Primal Strength Gym is one of the best places to train in the region. Not only does it feature some of the best equipment on the market for powerlifters, Strongman, and anyone trying to increase their strength and improve their body, its home to an unrivaled atmosphere that breeds success.Some members travel for up to 3 hours just to train at the gym, which speaks volumes about the quality and vale that Primal Strength Gym provides. If you care about getting bigger, stronger, faster, and healthier, Primal is the place to train.

Ill admit I am rather biased given how well I know some of the folks that train here and that super cool owner, but its still a really awesome training environment with some of the best people around. Nothing else compares in Charlottesville for primal training techniques.

A great place if you are serious about strength/strongman training
