awesome gym to work out at. nicest people in the world and some real deal bodybuilders who also are very nice with helping out when they’re not in the middle of a lift and even then they might come over to you and kindly give you a tip on form.

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 I've been to. The equipment is top notch, when you first walk in you'll 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. There's even multiple logs and an assortment of stones with varying platforms to stack them on for those who want to try out strongman. There's 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.

Ownership changed, and the gym went downhill fast.

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!

Don't waste your money. New owner does not take care of the place or it's athletes.

Is this heaven? No, it's Primal Strength Gym! I was able to drop in during a weekend visit from Roanoke, and this place is a mecca for strongman. If you want to move some iron and get big and strong, this is the place. Amazing equipment, kind people, and atlas stones for days! Thank you, Primal Strength!

My friends and I came up from Georgia and South Carolina to sightsee in Charlottesville. We were able to come and get a workout in and met several awesome people who were extremely nice to us and taught us some new things. This was possibly the coolest part of our trip to Virginia.

I love this place! It's designed for weightlifting, cross fit, and strongman training. It differs greatly from other area gyms and has a great atmosphere. If you're 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.

My training partner and I drove ninety minutes to train here with the assumption that there was a day pass option. There wasn't. But, fear not, warriors. We knocked and gained entry with the proper password: "we're here to train!" The owner was in Afghanistan but a few of his athletes were within. We expressed our desire to learn the ways of the Strongman and left tribute in the form of cash ($20) on Tank's desk. We were shown proper form on log press, atlas stones, circus dumbbells and more. It's a small gym but packed with great equipment and a great feel.
