Primal NRG Fitness

Fantastic experience: I recently moved from Melbourne to Sydney and I'm so grateful to find this little gem of a gym. The people are friendly, coaches are fantastic. I'm so happy to finally find somewhere with a nice community again.

Fantastic experience: A community of physical fitness professionals dedicated to getting their neighborhood fit. Small groups, comfortable ambiance and most important, supportive and encouraging trainers. Quite personable too.

Fantastic experience: Primal NRG is exactly the place I’ve been looking for to train. They are really welcoming, kind and inclusive. The gym is straightforward and fully equipped, the trainers are knowledgeable and the workouts are varied. Can’t ask for more.

Fantastic experience: This is honestly one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. The classes are always fantastic, fun, and challenging, with great variety in both workouts and equipment. The instructors really stand out — they’re knowledgeable, caring, and give excellent technical cues that help you push yourself while staying safe. The space is always clean, the energy is motivating, and the crowd is super positive and supportive. You never feel lost or left behind, and you always leave stronger and happier. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch gym experience!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym experience. No egos and no attitudes. Just straight up training with people who support each other with humour and encouragement. Felt welcomed from day one. Practical class formats, timetables and no mirrors!

Fantastic experience: Run, don’t walk, and sign up. ✅ Small group fitness classes (max 10) with consistent and knowledgeable trainers (and owner) ✅challenging and diverse classes with a focus on strength building ✅a friendly and inclusive community ✅ ample parking and stone’s throw from St Peter’s station ✅ supportive local network of massuse and physios My best decision to try and sign up to Primal NRG. I look forward to class everyday, rain hail or shine. Workouts for each class and monthly notices are written on the blackboard! Keep up the great work Team!

Fantastic experience: I started at Primal about a year ago. I’d had a baby and wanted to build up strength to carry her as she grew (I was also getting married in a couple of months and wanted to look my best!) Ray was so accommodating to a new mum - we had our sessions mid mornings and my bub came along and slept in her pram - or watched us intently, counting the reps . The program and classes were tailored to me and helped me work on my goals. I now train before work with Aloka and couldn’t be happier. The team are really friendly and it doesn’t matter what fitness level you are, they have a place for you to start and grow! Give them a go if you want a supportive training environment!

Fantastic experience: Great place to do the fitness

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym for gaining strength and overall fitness. I’m in my mid 70s and feel totally supported by the wonderful team of Ray and Aloka. I thoroughly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Perfect for me (43M), focus on high level coaching and form, community vibes, been meeting strength and fitness gains. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started training at Primal about 3 months ago & I’m loving it. Every class is different (& small groups) - I’m still learning new exercises & trying out new equipment. The instructors are great - they all take the time to demonstrate how to do each exercise & assist with posture corrections. Ray does monthly check-ins to help support your fitness journey, which has been excellent to help me stay on track. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Ray, the owner of Primal, really puts the effort in with everyone who goes there. He is really invested in people gets results

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Primal for 4 years. It’s just great. The people are great. Knowledgeable, personable and approachable-it makes a real difference. And it’s not too big. You, and they, just get on with stuff. No marketing pressure. Very convenient too. Easy to park. The back lane is pretty cool as well. Cheers.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great trainers!

Fantastic experience: Been training for 7 months now. Awesome trainers, small groups and every class/workout has a varied set of exercises. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Ray was an excellent coach, made me feel extremely welcomed on my first session. It is a very inclusive environment for beginners and more advanced gym goers. Really enjoyed my session there and will be back

Fantastic experience: Joined a year ago and have not regretted it. I love the small classes and friendly atmosphere

Positive experience: Fantastic small gym with excellent instructors. The point of difference with this gym is the down to earth, inclusive approach. No mirrors, no ego- just a bunch of people of all ages working out in small group format for long term health. Perfect for anyone who wants a quick & convenient fitness experience. Ideal for those who live within minutes of St Peter’s Station. Worth giving a go, especially if you want a straight forward fitness solution. Ideal for those looking to boost their strength.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed the 28 day program here. Dragged myself in, was not looking forward to it, dreading weights! The initial consultation woke me up to quite hard truths. 10kg to shed, slow metabolism, dehydration to name a few. I have to say, despite Ray’s best efforts, the first couple of classes were very hard. The third class was not so bad. Then I have to confess I started enjoying being at the gym. All the teachers are super professional, friendly and enthusiastic. I have knee and shoulder issues and always had modifications without even asking for them. I lost 3.5kg after doing three classes a week and following Ray’s expert advice. I am 60 and had been struggling to lose weight with IF, walking and healthy meals. It is a lovely, intimate local gym with a supportive, friendly community.

Fantastic experience: Such a cool gym environment always with good vibes and highest quality trainers

Fantastic experience: Six months before my wedding, I was at 100kg and knew I needed to make a change. I wanted to look and feel my best, not just for the photos but for the confidence and energy to enjoy the big day. Training at Primal Fitness St Peters with Ray helped me drop to 86kg while building real strength—enough to lift my bride during our dance routine! What once felt impossible became effortless. My mood improved, my sleep was better, and my eating habits transformed, making a lasting impact on my lifestyle beyond just the wedding. What made the journey even better was the incredible community at Primal. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, where everyone works hard but also has a laugh along the way. Ray’s coaching pushed me to levels I never thought possible, and the mix of strength training and conditioning made every session challenging but enjoyable. If you’re looking for a gym that delivers real results in a fun, encouraging environment, Primal Fitness St Peters is the place to be! Thanks Ray!

Fantastic experience: Booking classes at Primal has been a great experience, and I love the variety of exercises that allow me to work at my own pace and strength. The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming, and Ray has been amazing in supporting me every step of the way with my workouts, nutrition, and fitness goals. Truly a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Came and tried out Primal based on the great google reviews and found the 28 day trial super helpful to try lots of different classes and trainers. Been going consistently for c.3 months now (only 2-3 times /week) and can see a real difference in my strength and functional fitness (from a perimenopausal mid 40s not v fit woman!) Great options for classes and every single trainer I’ve had has been excellent - taking time to explain everything and improve form. If you’re looking to join a gym w a great crew, community feel and trainers who know their stuff, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Has an old school feel about it with really knowledgeable coaches and is a refreshing change from a lot of flashy commercial gyms that really only care about the revenue. Ray and his team focus on specific areas and types of training. Working on key, often neglected areas like the core/trunk with specific rotation training programs for example. One of the highlights during my 1 month trial there was the “Athlete” classes. Each month Ray picks a different type of training based on a specific type of athlete, for example in January it was movements and training based on athletes that play racquet sports. A real niche point of difference compared to other gyms. If I am ever back in the area I will most definitely be calling back in to train and see the team! Once again, fantastic gym and I throughly enjoyed my time there

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Ray at Primal for over 5 years. It's a great community, no nonsense group training with real people and excellent equipment

Fantastic experience: This is the only gym that I feel SUPER comfortable being myself. The owner Ray and his team are extremely knowledgeable and the classes are actually fun. The environment is very friendly to both very fit and very unfit people (like myself haha) and I never felt like I was pressured to keep up with the fittest of them. They encourage you to go at your own pace and they scale the exercises to your fitness level. At the end of the class everyone pitches in to sanitize all the equipment and keep everything clean so you never have to worry about going to a stinky gross gym, this place is quite clean!!! I couldn’t recommend this gym enough!!! 10/10 5 stars A++

Fantastic experience: Primal has been a total game-changer for me. I never really liked the typical gym scene, but the smaller classes and community vibe here make you feel super looked after. You get all the attention you need to work out properly and avoid injuries. My trainer, Aluka, is a big part of that—he breaks down every movement, explains why we’re doing it, and helps me feel in control of my body and progress.

Fantastic experience: A great place to train, a great vibe and everyone including all the other clients are super friendly

Fantastic experience: Aloka is a very good coach. Not only guiding with the techniques, he also gives good advice on how your body works. Mind, body and soul. It's boxing and more!

Fantastic experience: Great vibe, coaches are nice and plenty of improvements in equipment and facilities. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great venue, great fun and you get fit!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Primal Gym for almost 7 months, and it’s been an incredible experience! The group classes are always challenging and fun, and I recently started boxing, which has been a fantastic addition to my routine. Ray, the coach and owner, is knowledgeable and supportive, always pushing everyone to do their best. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get fit and enjoy the process!

Fantastic experience: Great space to work out. The trainers are very professional. I love the fact each session if different, and tailor the class which best suits the group.

Fantastic experience: 100% recommended. Super friendly coaches, fun interactions, can be very strict at times but the best choice of music!

Fantastic experience: Lots of classes and options, very easy to get started, and the instructors are super experienced and helpful. The workouts are really effective. If you’re thinking of coming to Primal RNG fitness to train you should.

Fantastic experience: A gym like no other. Motivated and involved trainers, friendly and welcoming for any level of fitness. Small classes with plenty of variety and a real sense of community.

Fantastic experience: Ray and all the coaches at Primal are fantastic! They provide support tailored to your needs and explain the techniques of each exercise. The small classes allow them to give you the time you need to understand the program.

Fantastic experience: Awesome class this morning Kate Friday 22/3. I have been a member with Primal NRG for a few year, Ray, Aloka, Victor, Kate & Ange are brilliant trainers. Great community

Fantastic experience: I'm absolutely loving all aspects of Primal NRG. The trainers are all fantastic in their own individual ways, but they're all thorough, approachable, and genuinely want to see growth in the members. The facilities are great, it's a big long space with plenty of room to spread out even when a class is full. All of their gear is in good condition, and there's enough variety in the classes to keep you on your toes. I especially love the boxing and strength classes, but even the cardio ones are good and I hate cardio. Plus it's dog-friendly so what's not to like about this place? Definitely recommend for a great, down-to-earth, local and accessible gym.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 class - always leave feeling great! The first gym I’ve been to in a long time where everyone is friendly and form + health are prioritised over weights! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Excellent program

Fantastic experience: Best gym, friendliest coaches!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with awesome trainers who take the time to plan your sessions and ensure your technique is correct, preventing any injuries. Recommened trying it out if you want to have a good mix of classes in your exercise regime.

Fantastic experience: Excellent trainers who really know their craft and are passionate about fitness, they cater to a wide variety of people which is good to see (it's not just the hardcore crowd - though they're definitely well served too!). Highly recommend this gym if you're looking for some of the best training available!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place train & workout! For the last few years I have gone back and forward with my fitness...at Primal I feel like I am doing something right. Since the beginning of the year my fitness and health has improved so much. The trainers and members all so supportive and push you to be the best that you can be. Not your average gym that but that's what makes it fantastic! cant rate it higher.

Fantastic experience: great!!

Fantastic experience: Got me fit, got me a girlfriend.

Fantastic experience: A great place to train with awesome people, motivating and very friendly. Come check it out!!

Fantastic experience: Not your average gym - the instructors are very knowledgeable and approachable in all facets of improving your health, whether it be strength, fitness or diet. They also cater to and care about each member as an individual. At the same time, not all instructors are the same, each brings different expertise and will refer you to another if they think it is best for you. Plus all the gym members I've met are friendly which also makes it an enjoyable place to be.

Fantastic experience: Primal is a fantastic gym with awesome motivating trainers. Great atmosphere, every class is always challenging yet rewarding!

Fantastic experience: Such an wonderful gym, with friendly instructors that go out of their way to help you improve and meet your goals. An amazing atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Great functional training gym in the inner west, located right near St Peters station on May Lane. The trainers are incredible and always mixing up the variety of classes. They are very focused on form and meeting your individual goals. I'd highly recommend this gym to anyone in Sydney!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the inner west. Community feel, no egos, just good people and results

Fantastic experience: NRG Primal is fantastic! I've been searching for a gym that offers smaller classes, excellent instructors and a diverse and effective workout for a long time. NRG has it all. Instructors are friendly and always go out of their way to help me with my technique. They genuinely care about my progress and I'm seeing results. I highly recommend this amazing gym!

Fantastic experience: After trying out many gyms I finally found an amazing gym! Primal has it all, small classes, trainers that are knowledgeable and that get the best out of you! The community feeling of primal makes you feel like you are in a home away from home and primal has none of the wankiness of other gyms!! If there were more stars I would give primal 500 more!!!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best place I have trained at. Focus on technique, work at your own level, no pressure.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Primal NRG Fitness for over a year. My coach Ray has been amazing supporting me through my transformational journey where I went through a change of lifestyle and major surgery. Rays ability to really understand my goals, my needs and my obstacles he ensures that I have the right program suitable for my needs and more! Going to Primal is just lovely - people are friendly, the premises are clean and the classes at an intimate level. The gym makes you feel very connected to your journey along with a community to cheer you on. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I ever worked in my life!

Fantastic experience: best gym in Australia. Couldn't wait to get back after the lockdown. Pappa Ray even loaned us out equipment and kept classes going online. What a legend. If you aren't a gym person this is your gym. If you are a gym person then it's a great gym for you too. Great variety of classes, great instructors who invest time, effort and friendship in you. Top quality, highly recommend Also no mirrors, shouting and very little grunting like you get at other gyms.

Fantastic experience: Ray and the team are great

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Attentive trainers and friendly community

Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional, and still give you personalised approach with small group classes. Ray & the team have a great variety of classes and are the best in the business!

Fantastic experience: Love my one on one training sessions with Ray, can't wait for my transformation reveal one day after i have lost 30KGS i will make a YouTube video about it :)

Fantastic experience: Primal is a great option if you’re after no fuss effective training with strength, endurance and HIIT classes on offer. Also appreciate the ease in which memberships are managed, it’s very transparent and the focus is simply on providing a good service that gets results. Thanks Ray!

Fantastic experience: I joined Primal NRG Fitness on the recommendation of a customer of mine. My goal was to lose some weight , strengthen my middle aged dad bod and improve my social life post divorce. Less than six months on all of those goals are coming to fruition. Ray the owner of the gym is amazing. He is an excellent mentor , and has very good ethics. He knows all his members by name and takes an genuine wholistic interest in their well-being. The gym staff and members are very friendly and down to earth. My overarching feeling is , i didn’t join a gym , I joined a community.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym with lovely, attentive staff. Always have an amazing workout and leave on a high!

Positive experience: Nice person, but I come here do some work for them.

Fantastic experience: Keeping it real! Ray and his coaching team have created a space, where you feel welcome, secure and understood. This is more than just a place to work out and get fit. Rather it is a place where you physically and mentally progress while you make new friends and learn life skills! You need to experience this!

Fantastic experience: Nice space

Fantastic experience: Great community vibes and friendly staff make this the kind of gym that you can be excited to go to! They only offer classes or personal training, but the classes have a good range of workout structures, attentive trainers (who will check your form and make sure you're getting the most out of the workout) and it's always a challenge. I saw my fitness improve noticeably in just a few weeks!

Fantastic experience: My favourite place to be. I love this joint. Been training at alot of places including F45 but this place focuses on form and technique. The owner Ray and instructors like Bruna and Victor are amazing. They push you and encourage you. They are creative with the workouts and the people training there are super lovely-,all levels are welcome and sometimes they adjust the workout depending on observing your fitness level. Give it a go!

Fantastic experience: Primal is such a great gym with welcoming and supportive trainers for all skill levels. The high intensity interval training is great for a busy lifestyle and I love the focus on mobility and flexibility.

Fantastic experience: Old school fitness at its best. Lift heavy things and move them. Move about and get the heart rate up. Everyday is a new structured program to follow, goals are set, challenges are met. Great coaching staff that care about your results, not like other gyms I have been too where you only see them on the floor when they are trying to sign you up for PT classes. No mirrors, no judgement just fun functional movement - Get on it!

Fantastic experience: This year I completed 3 of my Functional Training Courses at PrimalNRG with 2 courses to further complete. The guys/ coaches who teach these courses are awesome, great team atmosphere and instruction. If you are looking for the best then you won’t be disappointed. As a Personal Trainer I am very safety conscious on technique, execution of movement and delivering my programs. We have people’s lives in our hands and that matters. Our names are our business and we are taught from the best.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors who are friendly and always willing to help, or if you've had injuries they always give you other options which is fantastic! Would highly recommend Primal to help achieve your fitness goals

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have been to by far with excellent trainers, I love this place!!!

Negative experience: Went there trainer didn't know what class pass was and turned me away. No support, no reception, no customer service. Call before if you want to try it out.

Negative experience: The instructors are cold and not very interactive and supportive. The blonde girl was so rude and gave me attitude when i tried to explain something!! They don't watch you properly, even though you're new, and don't watch if you're doing the technique right. When they do watch No supervision and support what-so-ever even if they see you're doing the exercise wrong. I had other members tell/show me when they saw me doing it wrong. Out of other fitness centres of similar style they are not warm here. The atmosphere is not warm and inviting. Very bad customer service, and you can NEVER get a hold of them via phone or email! Terrible! Instructors need serious training on how to be polite, warm and supportive! Good routine and concept, but fitness centre I'm at now is worlds better. Think twice bout Primal.

Fantastic experience: Ive been a PT client for about 2 years and I've enjoyed the training style of this gym. With a focus on targeted training that suits my lifestyle and hectic work schedule. I recommend Primal for people who are looking for a gym that pushes you to improve through a community approach and tailored individual needs versus competitive superficial goals.

Fantastic experience: The trainers really know what they're doing and provide constant encouragement and supervision to ensure you're working out to the best of your ability and having fun. They also promote a really great sense of community amongst gym members, too!

Fantastic experience: I needed to take action with my health and fitness and was looking for something different other than the standard gym environment, which I tried over the years and decided that it wasn't for me. At Primal I find the classes challenging, fun and they are always different, which keeps me interested and coming back for more. This the only gym I have consistently attended for over a year now. The Primal trainers are very friendly, always helpful and know their stuff! They constantly surprise me with their fitness and nutrition knowledge. Always a great motivating atmosphere in the Den! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: A gym where the trainers know your name. Both trainers and fellow gym members are supportive and encouraging. Classes are always different and challenging. Best gym!

Fantastic experience: Primal is by far the best gym around! I have felt challenged with every class and the trainers really care about your progress and to add to it everyone you met at Primal are fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Best supportive environment and community for progress and results ,whatever your fitness goals Hands down best Coaches in the business and the original Functional Training Gym

Fantastic experience: Great people. Great trainers. Challenging and interesting routines. Bench marking is every 5 weeks so you can see your progress. Always find myself laughing through the tears of sweat.

Fantastic experience: I was and still am Primals very first member. I joined wanting to put on muscle and build my strength. In 3 years I put on 13kg of muscle but most importantly I made some amazing friends. I look forward to going to the gym to train and laugh with my friends. This isnt exercise, this is fun. Its very open and accepting atmosphere with all levels of members. If you have ever wanted to try the 'functional fitness' thing this is the place to do it.

Fantastic experience: There's no better way to start the day with a Primal NRG workout, great gym trainers that have the time to give individual attention. No mirrors, not pretension, just a nice group of people keeping fit together.

Fantastic experience: If you haven't been at Primal, I'd say you don't know yourself yet. I joined the Primal fambam late November 2014 - fast forward to 6 months and I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm stronger, fitter, happier, and above all, extremely grateful to Primal for expanding the boundaries of my capabilities. The fantastic Pri-mates - trainers and members, each of them superhuman in their own ways, make pushing yourself seem effortless. Hands down the best gym environment in the world!
