The Primal Athlete begins with a movement assessment (video submission) and then a 1:1 call with your coach. We’ll discuss your past activities, your current fitness level, and your goals. You’ll gain access to Phase 1 of your training program along with weekly modules that focus on developing positive lifestyle habits. During the Training Camp, you’ll complete 3-5 workouts per week, exchange videos with your coaches inside our community Slack channels for feedback, accountability and support from your coach. You will also attend group calls every other week to ask questions and chat with your other class members. Phase 1 lasts for 5 weeks, then based off your progress you will receive a new program (phase 2) and train for the next 5 weeks. At the end, you’ll have a 1:1 offboarding call with your coach to ensure you will continue to see progress and meet your goals long after the camp is complete.

One of our main goals in The Primal Athlete is to explore a diversity of movement. This means we combine bodyweight strength movements (such as handstands, pushups, and pullups), stretching and flexibility training, animal/primal flow style movements, and truly functional movements like climbing, jumping, and crawling. We base your goals off your current level. For example: some people may be working on increasing their pullups from 3 to 5 reps while others may be working on getting their first muscle up. Some may be working on getting their first 5 second handstand, while others will be gaining confidence to do a handstand against a wall. 

We are committed to showing up 100% for you - and expect the same in return! Therefore, we are not able to offer refunds at this time. If an unforeseen circumstance arises that prevents you from completing the program, we just ask that you reach out to us. We strive to remain flexible and come to agreements that work for everyone. Once you join Primal Athlete, you will be asked to complete an Intake Questionnaire. If we find that you are not ready for this commitment, we will reach out about potential refunds or recommend another service.

We consider this a training camp, and therefore, it can be a big commitment! With that being said, we adapt the schedule to fit your lifestyle. We have 20-year olds who can commit 6 days to training, but also parents who can only commit 3 days. In general, we ask you to complete 3-5 sessions a week that last around an hour. Additionally, there are group calls every other week that last around 90 minutes. The first week is minimal while you find your bearings and we meet with you individually. All in all, YOU decide how much time to commit, and we're there to help guide you along the way.

 Only YOU can tell us if you're ready for this training camp. However, this program was designed for intermediate and advanced levels. If you are a beginner to fitness, we recommend checking out Guided or Move Strong Now for a few months before starting Primal Athlete. We welcome you to send us an email and let us know about your background. Since this Training Camp has limited spots and a high level of effort, we are committed to only letting those who are fully ready go with the program. If we find you're not the right fit, we will happily refund you or recommend another service.

We designed The Primal Athlete to be as minimal as possible. The only thing required is something to hang from. This could be a doorway pullup bar, monkey bars at your local park, or gymnastic rings hanging from a tree. For those looking to push their strength levels, we recommend gymnastic rings. We encourage our athletes to use the environment around them as much as possible. Most other “equipment” can be found around the house or outdoors… (such as a bench to step up on, a tree branch to hang from, a wall to handstand against). We will provide instruction on scouting for areas to train.
