Experience felt rushed. Didn’t get proper attention.

Service team seemed undertrained. Needs improvement.

Product quality didn’t justify cost. Disappointed overall.

We've been coming to Primal for a few months now and really love it! My boyfriend who has been lifting for years signed up with me as well and has enjoyed all of the different equipment that Primal has to offer. I'm an absolute beginner with lifting (and gyms in general) and I came in with the goal to learn and improve my strength. I've really enjoyed the atmosphere here and the training tier of membership! Dylan does an awesome job creating a program to fit your goals! It's been so helpful to have guidance on form and cues. The gym playlist is also fantastic 💯

I’ve had a great experience training at Primal Fitness. The gym has a strong weightlifting culture with plenty of racks, barbells, and plates available, so it’s easy to get a serious workout in without feeling limited by equipment.The atmosphere is motivating and focused—most people here are genuinely there to train hard, which makes it a great environment if you’re serious about strength training. The staff are friendly and the facility is kept clean and organized.Overall, Primal Fitness is a solid choice for anyone looking for a gym that prioritizes real lifting and a supportive training environment.Special things to The Trainer Dylan, very knowledgeable and very professional

I've been going to this gym for well over a year now and I absolutely love it! The community is amazing and was so helpful when I was starting out and had no idea what I was doing. I would definitely recommend this gym for anyone starting out or wanting to improve their workout routine.

Been going regularly for over a year now.Great experience for both new and experienced lifters. Blake, Shelby, and the staff are far more welcoming than you’ll find at large commercial gym.

This gym makes you feel like a person not just money and they make sure you are doing everything you need to get done without hurting yourself

I go to this gym and it's great. Really amazing place! Blake and Shelby are amazing people and my trainer Dylan is awesome. Dylan has made me so much stronger than when I started training in June. I love this gym so much.

Nice private small business powerlifting gym! They have excellent customer service, replied immediately to my message request and willing to provide a very reasonable week pass as I was in the area for a work conference. Everyone (staff and patrons) were friendly and helpful in the gym. Clean, decent equipment, and best of all the owners have a dog that is sometimes there and warms up to pets! Never over crowded!

I originally moved to San Antonio tx from California back in may 2023 for this gym. At the time the amount of professional powerlifters all gathered in one area was unlike anything else unfortunately because of what I’m going to post here none of those elite powerlifters are still at primal anymore and I stayed longer than I should have. This gym has always been big on community unfortunately their community ie Shelby and her girlfriends Abby, Trish, and Margret can be linked to just about everyone of those elite powerlifters leaving. I’ve trained at heavy metal, tss, warehouse, powerdise, and joes gym since leaving primal and every major powerlifting gym someone has something to say about the drama that comes out of this gym and why they are no longer members here. I never had any issues until I started having marital issues and of course those girls I named early swarmed to the drama and got everything they could out of my ex wife. They made it uncomfortable for me to train at this gym they cut me out of their life’s mind you I would attend thanksgiving dinners with them lake house events pool parties even having dinner at their places so it definitely hurt when they decided to take sides. I recently came back for a day pass with my new girlfriend and had no problems everyone I interacted with seemed very pleased to see me except for Shelby, Abby, and Trish who completely ignored my existence. Fast forward 2 days later I get a message from Blake saying for his community it’s in the best interest I don’t come back. This place does not know how to separate friendships from their business ie shelby. Earlier this year I had to cancel my card because my ex wife had stolen money off my card and Shelby wanted to come at us for $9 worth of drinks and was completely insensitive to my situation despite the fact that I was a member for over 2yrs and paid for 2 memberships mine and my ex wife’s but I also donated a kabuki deadlift bar and deadlift jack minimum of $500 which is still at that gym btw and she had been made aware of me having to request a new card from my bank. These where people I considered family and they never cared how I felt in my marriage just wanted my ex wife to be happy. Before you sign up here go to other powerlifting gyms and ask people about their experience at primal specifically those members named above and their significant others. I will never do a plu meet in Texas moving forward because I will not give another dime to Blake and Shelby and I will continue to advice everyone around me to do the same

Fantastic gym and ownership. Equipment is top notch for those wanting to lift. Welcoming to new lifters and will happily help you learn the ropes.

Great owner and great gym in general. Have all the powerlifting equipment you could need. Even for an IPF Natty elitist like myself. Best spot in San Antonio
