Primal Elite Fitness

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love working out at Primal Elite Fitness. After a month and a half of going to three workouts per week, I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years. There are always modifications and the workouts keep my muscles guessing and my mind engaged and focused. The emphasis on functional strength, flexibility, and a wide range of movements is so refreshing. It really is a joy to work out with a great group of motivated and fun people. So glad to have found this place! Thank you Ryan for all the time and effort you put into the programming and mission of Primal Elite.

Fantastic experience: Primal is the best! Just moved here a month ago and am already in the swing of things. Was scared at first but they make it so welcoming. You could be an expert or a beginner and get a really good work out and have fun at the same time!

Fantastic experience: This place is the best! Had almost no motivation to workout prior to joining, and now that I have I’m hooked. Great people, great instructors. Love it!

Fantastic experience: As I approach my 1-year anniversary of joining Primal Elite Fitness, I am full of gratitude and appreciation for the amazing experience. What I hoped to find was a gym with reliable trainers/coaches, safe equipment, and the convenience I needed for my busy schedule. What I got was exactly that and SO much more...like a new community of wonderful people (members) who are kind, welcoming and so much fun!! This truly is a gym for everybody and every BODY. Whether you've never been to a gym or you're looking for something new, you'll find what you're looking for at Primal!!

Fantastic experience: Working out at Primal Elite Fitness has been awesome the last few months. I was totally burnt out going to the gym and doing the same repetitive workouts week after week. At primal we are always doing new and exciting workouts and I look forward to exercise now. Ryan designs the classes to not only focus on strength and conditioning but also mobility, balance, hand eye coordination etc. The classes are accessible to any fitness level and I can feel myself getting stronger by the week. Bella and Ryan are both wonderful coaches! I highly recommend trying out a class

Fantastic experience: Great clean gym. Ryan is so knowledgable on functional movement. He creates great circuits. Welcoming workout crew and all levels of fitness working out together. Always get an amazing workout!!

Fantastic experience: Primal Elite Fitness is a great place to workout! Every exercise is adapted for all skill levels! You work out at your own level along with everyone else. It is a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The trainers Ryan and Bella are the best!!

Fantastic experience: I have experienced many gyms, private training, boot camps etc. Ryan and his team are beyond incredible! I am 57 so I can’t do as much as a younger stronger person. At Primal you lift move at your own comfort level and the trainers watch you and make sure you do not get hurt and get the best of each workout. It is friendly clean and full of healthy great energy! I live in Mt Greenwood and take the trip to Palos because there is nothing better than Primal and to be trained by Ryan and Bella who are perfect examples of good health is where I need and want to be! I have more confidence and love the way my clothes are fitting and feel great!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Primal Elite Fitness challenges me every time I walk through the door. Bella and Ryan are very knowledgeable and so friendly. An amazing place to exercise even if you’re just starting out!

Fantastic experience: As someone who values individual attention and tailored experiences, I can confidently say that Primal Elite Fitness has exceeded all expectations.The cozy and welcoming atmosphere is a breath of fresh air. The gym feels like a close-knit community where everyone knows your name. There is also an emphasis on variety in the workouts such as strength training, high intensity interval training, and aerobic exercise. This approach keeps things fresh, exciting, and most importantly, effective. My fitness goals have never felt more achievable, and I'm grateful to have found a gym that places such a strong emphasis on my personal success.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to these workout classes a few times a week for the last few months and I love the challenge and the community feel that this gym offers. I'm new to the area and everyone here has been so welcoming, this gym has been a key part of my new routine! All of the coaches are great, and make sure to properly demonstrate and supervise exercises to keep everyone safe and make sure members are getting the most from their workouts. Excited to complete this phase of workouts and get 4 weeks of a new phase soon!

Fantastic experience: I was never the person that went to a gym. Until my wife convinced me to join Primal Fitness with her. I can tell you it changed my life. I am probably in the best shape of my life. I am 57 years old. The program that we follow during the class can be done no matter what your fitness level or age. If you ever thought about joining a gym, give Primal Fitness a try. You will not regret it

Fantastic experience: This place is my favorite home away from home. Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and everyone in the classes are so warm and welcoming. You’ll find a sense of community and tough-love to push you to become your best self. In addition to fitness classes, there are always programs for continued education on overall health and well-being. This is a gym unlike any other and I cannot recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Primal Fitness for a little over 2 months. Before starting Primal Fitness, I hadn’t worked out in years so I’m very much a beginner. All of the instructors are kind, encouraging and helpful. They provide modifications to make it easier or more challenging, depending on your unique needs. The workouts are fun and I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my fitness level. I can’t recommend Primal Fitness enough!

Fantastic experience: This is the only gym I’ve been able to stay consistent with, and I’ve been going for around 8 months or so! I’ve been getting so much stronger and am hitting goals that I’ve had for years. The trainers and fellow gym goers are all amazing, and I really appreciate them all! They’re not afraid to point out improper form, which stops myself from getting hurt and promotes the most growth! Thank you Primal Fitness!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Primal Elite Fitness. I live in Lemont but drive in as much as I can to take one of their great ( but challenging) classes. Ryan and Bella always welcome you in and help you wherever you need it! Great results and well worth the money! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I recently started attending Primal Fitness and I am impressed with my experience so far. The environment is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it easy to feel comfortable and motivated. The staff is extremely encouraging and always goes the extra mile to ensure that I am getting the most out of my workout. They are not just concerned with helping me achieve my fitness goals, but also my overall health and well-being. I have never felt pressured or judged, and instead feel supported and empowered on my fitness journey. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a positive and uplifting fitness experience.

Fantastic experience: The workouts are beyond effective, 50 minutes with warm-up/cool-down and instructions. Great music and a variety of work-outs that change monthly. Therefore, you change up muscle groups and prevent boredom. Workouts are Continuously challenging and I am amazed at how much strength & stamina I have gained. Please do not be discouraged by the price - try the two week $39 unlimited class deal and focus on how you feel after those two weeks. I have done the 3x a week membership since 11/2020 with no injuries and it is worth every cent. What is different about primal than a chain-owned gym, is that you are paying for a DOCTOR that designs your workouts & staff that supervises your form. I feel energized post workout and ready to slay the day. Invest in your body and see what it is capable of ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: This is a welcoming office. Dr Ryan provides very thoughtful treatment and exercises. I highly recommend his services.

Fantastic experience: The trainers have fun and interactive personalities and the atmosphere is inviting. I did not feel intimidated and the facility is clean and well organized.

Fantastic experience: At Primal you will get the best results you could ever hope for! If fitness and a healthy lifestyle is your goal, then this is the place to go. With small group or personal training, you will be stronger and feel like you can accomplish anything. I speak from personal experience. Ryan Gawron is the best trainer ever!

Fantastic experience: I love Primal! The variety in workouts and focus on strength training with cardio that still has a strength focus has been exactly what I needed. Strength training has always been intimidating to me, but the coaches will fully support you as you learn and even offer modifications if there is something you haven’t done before or can’t do due to an injury. Ryan and all of the coaches are very knowledgeable - not only about exercise but about living a healthy lifestyle. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Becoming a member here at Primal Elite Fitness is the absolute BEST thing I have done for my health, well being & peace of mind. I knew in my heart on Day One that I had landed in the right place. I decided to come to class 6 days a week... This one choice has radically transformed my life. When I started here, I had been suffering from panic attacks, social anxiety and depression that blind sided me. I had gained over 40 pounds very quickly. I was coming down from a three year stretch of very high stress. I was exhausted. I was just beginning to reclaim my health. Before Primal, I tried several strength training and cardio programs. I spent a full year wearing myself out at spin classes, barre classes, Orange Theory, Lifetime Fitness, and an online personal training program... I felt like a failure. With all of that effort... not one pound did I lose! I am sharing this with you because you may be in the same boat... Please do not give up. I felt amazing after my first class here! Dr. Ryan is masterful at what he does. These 50 minute classes are so well designed... You will never over train any part of your body. You will feel energized and strong. And the better it gets, the better it gets. My mental health improved pretty much instantly. 15 pounds came off within one month....The community here is one of the most welcoming, supportive and loving groups of people. There are never more than 13 people in class.... Every month we cycle through an entirely different series of 6 workouts that alternately focus on strength or conditioning. No machines. EVERYONE can do these workouts. We really do have fun! Today.... about 8 months in... I am 27 pounds lighter and counting... I feel more like myself than ever. I feel the best I have ever felt. I am connected to my Spirit and my body. I am SO strong... both physically and mentally. Joy is Strength... And giving yourself what you need to thrive and to feel naturally JOYFUL is worth whatever it takes. I hope to see you here XO
