Go Primal Fitness and Training Institute: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I traveler frequently and drop-in to a different box every week...the experience was awesome. A fantastic group of people and one incredible coach! 5 star experience! I will definitely be back. Continued Excellence! Greg
Fantastic experience: I enjoy coming to the gym. It's like getting to visit family and friends, while also getting in some exercise aka necessary stress relief. This gym has been beneficial to my physical and mental health. The coaches are welcoming and they answer ALL my many questions and entertain my amazing jokes! I love it!
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever to workout in. Amazing coaching and family cohesive environment! Can’t say enough good things!!!I love it
Fantastic experience: GenFit was amazing as always. All movements were explained and illustrated clearly. The workout was what we’ve come to expect from GP… You get out what you put in! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Tammi is the best! She makes each class fun and worth getting up at 5am. Tammi knows her clients well, and works to make each class appropriately challenging for each person. Tammi’s class is truly my favorite way to start each day!
Fantastic experience: Always love Tammi’s class! She gives great guidance on weight selection and progressions before the workout.
Fantastic experience: Tammi, is more than just a gym coach—she’s an amazing teacher! She takes the time to explain proper techniques, ensures every movement is done correctly, and makes sure you understand the ‘why’ behind each exercise. If you’re looking for someone who truly invests in your progress and teaches you lifelong skills, she’s the one!
Fantastic experience: I love working with Tammi. She is who I train with the most. She’s encouraging and corrects form as appropriate! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Tammi did great! She explained each movement thoroughly. She also adjusted the reps when it became apparent even the most fit would not be able to complete the workout in the allotted time. I am not among that group so I still did not finish but I appreciate her willingness to adjust! And she has a great attitude, even at 5am! I really love working out with Tammi!
Fantastic experience: Great class! The feedback for exercises was good - helpful with form while also not getting in the way of the workout. Definitely a challenge!
Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic place to get fit! Coaching is top notch! It doesn’t matter if you are just beginning your fitness journey or if you’ve been training for years! The community of people are inspiring and energizing! You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you for your loyalty over the years, Cathy. It is such a pleasure to have you as a member with us. Thank YOU for always inspiring us!
Fantastic experience: Tammi is an absolutely awesome coach! She’s very attentive and always makes sure I’m comfortable when trying unfamiliar exercises.
Fantastic experience: All the coaches are very helpful and knowledgeable on the workouts. It’s defiantly not like other gyms, it’s more togetherness with everyone helping each other reach their personal best.
Fantastic experience: I’m new to CompFit classes, but I already love them! They’re challenging, but Katelynn always ensures you do the movements properly to avoid injuries. I love her dedication and patience! Also, I love the gym community!
Fantastic experience: Katelynn was an awesome coach! Definitely recommend dropping in for a good work out when visiting Gainesville!
Fantastic experience: Great class experience! Super friendly group, excellent warmup and workout. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Katelynn is the best! She noticed my progress and complimented me during the workout! Most encouraging coach I’ve met.
Fantastic experience: I loved today’s class. I’m a fan of that kind of format. She was very involved with watching my form and giving encouragement.
Fantastic experience: Coaches are great, programming is challenging, accomplishment at the end of a workout is fantastic. Keep it coming GP!

Fantastic experience: Coki is extremely knowledgeable about technique. Not only is he knowledgeable but also very approachable. He offers advice and is happy to answer questions. He’s a great addition to the gym and makes working out fun and more effective!
Fantastic experience: Class with Tammi as the coach is always fantastic!! She helps you when you need to scale and she will call you out when you could(should) be going heavier! All of the coaches at Go Primal are top notch! Great programming, amazing environment. I ALWAYS leave feeling so much better than when I walked in.
Fantastic experience: Tammi is motivating me and provides feedback that I’m doing the workout correctly and I so needed that. Thanks Tammi! Today’s workout is no joke though but I love it!
Fantastic experience: Coach Tammi is very motivating and pushes me daily! Members are like family :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym with many different options I’ve been a member here for a long time and now my son is as well.
Fantastic experience: I wish there were a 10 star option bc Tammi at GP would earn all 10 stars. She did an amazing job!! Described the workout in detail, demonstrated proper form for the movements along with what not to do, and then encouraged us while holding us accountable.

Fantastic experience: Great workouts with great support! Such a great atmosphere. Everyone truly wants you to succeed in your fitness goals! Tammi works with you to modify movements with such a positive attitude. All the coaches are superb. Would recommend to family and friends!
Fantastic experience: Excellence. Superb attention to detail. Genuine, positive community. Always smiling and welcoming faces. Such a well-run operation. An optimal place for anyone to get in the best shape of their life!
Fantastic experience: Visited here while on vacation, Coach Coki was very informative and helped me immensely, I am new to working out so it was nice to have that attention from a coach.
Fantastic experience: Go Primal is different in the best way possible. I travel for work and have dropped into many gyms over the years, but Go Primal is above and beyond anywhere else. I moved to Gainesville recently and intended to try out all of the CrossFit gyms in the area. I started with the one week trial at Go Primal and, needless to say, didn’t make it anywhere else. Chris, the owner, has a solid group of coaches that are welcoming and provide great feedback. Coaches Coki and Katelynn do a fantastic job leading the Comp Fit classes. The class programming is tough, but has helped me work on my weaknesses and become better.
Fantastic experience: Just joined but I can already tell this will be great! They're going to push you to do workouts that you probably didn't think of doing on your own. If you want to achieve optimal fitness, join Go Primal!
Fantastic experience: Go Primal changed my life. I never thought this kind of workout was for me. It’s simple yet so powerful and affective. If you are on the fence about joining this gym…get off the fence and get yourself a membership ASAP!
Fantastic experience: My family and I have just recently joined GP and we are truly in love. The workouts are hard and super effective. The staff and members have made us all feel at home. Our 9 year old is loving the kids classes too! I’m a gym novice and GP has this novice hooked.
Fantastic experience: I love go primal. Best gym in town. Top tier programming and facilities plus a supportive and fun community to be a part of.
Fantastic experience: The gym is spacious and clean! All the instructors make sure your form is correct and answer any questions you may have!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and great community of athletes!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches, excellent workouts, friendly supportive environment. And owner and coach Chris White is a dedicated leader and inspiration for health and wellness for all.
Fantastic experience: Nothing I say will make you understand how amazing this place is. Try the free-trial and you'll get just a tiny little insight of the change this place and its people will make in you. I saw changes in as little as 2 months (missing a couple of days a week, so I am pretty sure I would have seen changes the first month if I would have been consistent). The environment is competitive - you see other people lifting and giving their best every time, but something that I learned here is that the competition is with YOURSELF and YOURSELF ONLY. It only took one conversation with one coach to learn that. And I will never forget that conversation. You will not regret putting your money here; later on you will realize you put that money on yourself and it will be absolutely worth it. I would give it 100 stars if I could. I promise, you will become addicted to coming here!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! I tried out some new things and Coach Dominick was super helpful. Chris White’s programming pushes you past your limits and empowers you
Fantastic experience: Thanks everyone for attending my seminar! It was a great success, and we had a lot of fun teaching athletes Olympic lifts. Special thanks go to Chris for invitation. We couldn't have done it without him! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. Hope to see you at future events! Oleksiy Torokhtiy
Fantastic experience: i love the intensity and the coaches are awesome.
Fantastic experience: The best gym in the world.
Fantastic experience: Misti is an AWESOME trainer!
Fantastic experience: It's a really great workout and I feel so much stronger from coming there. The workouts are always fun and challenging. It helps me with anxiety a lot. The coaches are all really great. I also like the people that I work out with at Go Primal a lot. The facility and equipment are wonderful. It's also basically right across the street from my house LOL
Fantastic experience: Outstanding fitness plan! Instructive and interactive coaches! Lots of equipment and space...
Fantastic experience: Elite coaches. Form focused. Knowledgeable, professional, motivating, and fun loving! The people that train there are simply amazing in their ability to want to improve themselves. We are a family of friends.
Fantastic experience: Chris and his team are phenomenal. You don’t need a personal trainer, this guys are well trained and passionate about what they’re doing. My goal was to increase my stamina after my leg injury and it very well is being achieved here. Will suggest this place highly for your physical fitness
Kavan, it has been such a joy having you a part of Primal Nation. Thank you for trusting us with your fitness goals. We are excited to see your continued progress here at GP.
Negative experience: Very dangerous the way this business allows its customers to use Vystars parking lot like they own it. The driveway is for customers to enter and exit the property. Not go primal personal running track. The runners do not care, don't look, act like the cars aren't suppose to drive there. They also make a very dangerous situation running down 34gh street in giant groups, blocking driveways and apartment entrances.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I think you are absolutely right. Ever since we moved to this space a little over a year ago it has been challenging to find a good way to integrate running into our program. It's an important part of what we do, but because our classes are so big it has become very dangerous. We will work to find a solution immediately, as the last thing we want is to disrupt Vystar and its customers, nor do we want to put our clients in danger. This will not be a problem again. We greatly appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Best. Gym. Ever. The coaching is best in class, the facility is world class and the people who train here are the best.
Kenny, we are so happy you're a member with us! Thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches. Great programming. Great positive supportive community of people to be around.
Thanks for the review, Frank. We love having you, Megan and the boys in Primal Nation. Keep working hard!
Fantastic experience: Go Primal has created an encouraging environment to improve my fitness and pushes me to be better and do more than I would on own.
We love having you a part of Primal Nation, Jennine!
Fantastic experience: Katie was very supportive and patient of my beginner level strength during my first session. The faculty was clean, organized, and the music was good.
We are so glad you could try out a class with us, Kimmeuy. Happy to hear you had such a pleasant first time experience. We hope to see you back in soon.
Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches that are always pushing us to do better!
Thank you for the review, Luz. You're such a pleasure to coach. Wishing you well on your new adventure.
Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere! I appreciate the ability to workout, in a group setting, where everyone can pick their own pace and intensity, and still get a "Great work today!" from the coaches, no matter how you finished!
Kelly, we are so happy to have you as a member here at Go Primal. You always work so hard and have such a positive attitude.
Fantastic experience: Great programming, great atmosphere, great variation of classes and times!
Thank you for your review, Zari. We are appreciative of you and Josh's loyalty and commitment to Primal Nation. This place wouldn't be the same without you two.
Fantastic experience: Staff and coaches super friendly and helpful to drop-ins. Chris and Tommy hooked me up every step of the way! Will be back
Thanks for your kind words, Cade. We love having you drop-in here at GP. Your competitive, fun spirit is always welcome in our community! Thanks for your support.
Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere and the coaches. Everyone pushes me to go all out during workouts, and I love it!
Thanks for leaving a review, Josh. We love the energy that you bring to our classes and community. You're awesome!
Fantastic experience: Eight years at Go Primal and I wouldn't train anywhere else! Coach Chris has continually evolved his training programs to bring out the best in the athletes who train here. This is such a positive place to improve your fitness, starting with the trainers, the programs, and the people who work out here daily.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Easily the best programming I’ve ever been a part of. It was wonderful after having our third baby to get back in shape. And the people and coaches are awesome!
Fantastic experience: Great community & great programming!
Fantastic experience: Besides the excellent coaching, programming, and facilities, the first word that comes to mind when I think of Go Primal is COMMUNITY. Since starting Go Primal a year ago, I have made numerous friends and seen the benefit of a health community that goes beyond a gym. Doctors, engineers, businessmen, artists, dancers, students, and more gather together every day to challenge themselves and grow. What a blessing. If you are in the Gainesville area and are looking for a new gym, look no further. Welcome home.
Chaker, thank you for taking the time for this genuine review. It has been such a pleasure having you and Hillary as a key part of our Primal Family. We are so happy that you've found a home here with us. Keep working hard.
Fantastic experience: I love Go Primal so much! I was really intimidated to go at first, but I’m so glad I went! The facility is so nice and clean, and the coaches are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The workouts are challenging but fun. I feel so much stronger mentally and physically being a member here.
We are SO glad that you decided to finally join Go Primal. It has been a pleasure watching your physical and mental growth throughout your time here. You are strong in so many ways! Keep being awesome, Hillary.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. It’s not even close. Your fitness level and/or age doesn’t matter as thIs community is filled with a diverse group of welcoming and supportive people, of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds. The programming, the staff, and facility is second to none. If you want to be challenged, this gym is for you.
Fantastic experience: Great staff and Coaches! They’re so knowledgeable of the movements, warm ups and lifts! They really know what they are doing !
Fantastic experience: Results. Results. Results. If that’s what you are looking for, then you found your new fitness home.
Fantastic experience: Go primal is an awesome community of coaches and athletes who all want to get better at life! If you’re looking for a gym, personal training or nutritional direction check them out!
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Great equipment, great coaches, great atmosphere, and more importantly, great programming! Natalie is the bomb, too! Amanda makes me cry... Mostly because I need to... Update: 7 months later and this is still hands down my second home! Love the coaches and love the programming. #family #sorenessisgoodness
Fantastic experience: I had been going to the gym regularly for about 6 months, but I have seen more positive results from about a month at this place. If you’re serious about improving your fitness this is the place for you.
Fantastic experience: If you're committed and disciplined this is where you see and keep results. Excellent coaching staff and overall workout environment.
Fantastic experience: I joined Go Primal almost 3 years ago and it changed my life. The gym itself is amazing but it is the people and coaches that truly make this place special. I am so thankful I found Go Primal.
Fantastic experience: Joining this gym is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I am pushing myself in ways I never have before. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I’ve met some great people who are also very nice and encouraging. You will definitely get a great workout at Go Primal.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym... it’s one of the best investments I have made in my life. The coaches believe in me more than I do. This Makes me perform better in other areas of my life
Fantastic experience: Go primal is the most amazing gym in Gainesville Florida! Go primal has completely changed my life over the last year! The front staff, Natalie especially, is totally amazing, as well as all the trainers!
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! I have been going to Go Primal for over a year now and am in the best shape I've ever been. I started with 2x a week, but quickly signed up with the unlimited plan. The workouts are always challenging and evolving, offering a good variety of activities. I love getting up every day to go to the gym!
Fantastic experience: Best coaches, best facility, best programming in Gainesville
Fantastic experience: A great place to work out. I find this is the most efficient and effective use of my time when it comes to fitness. I am amazed at the progress I made since joining
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Goprimal for over five years. I have watched it grow and expand and change as new clients came in and old clients aged. What is remarkable about the GoPrimal family is that it caters to all comers with out losing its core philosophy and strength. I hope to see how it grows over the next ten years
Fantastic experience: My wife and I joined back in March, and have enjoyed every minute of working out at Go Primal. The coaches are great and knowledgeable. They demonstrate every exercise to make sure you know the correct way to performe it, and so everyone in the class is on the same page. They care about your goals and progress. You start to feel like a family or large group of friends as you continue to work out there. I look forward to every class.
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best and most wholesome, yet unique workouts Gainesville has.
Fantastic experience: I look forward to going to the gym everyday at this gym. The coaches are super knowledgeable and push you to achieve more than you ever thought you could. Plus it is an awesome community where everyone is super friendly Highly recommend giving it a try!!
Fantastic experience: Pushes me to the limit! Great gym!
Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been to! Pushes me both mentally and physically. Plus I’m stronger than I’ve ever been.
Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym of its type. The coaching staff is top notch which makes for good training and an awesome experience overall while working out at GoPrimal. 100% good people both in the gym as well as outside the gym.
Fantastic experience: Best crossfit gym in Gainesvill!
Fantastic experience: A great gym with something for EVERYONE.
Fantastic experience: Best place to train in Gainesville
Fantastic experience: Great facility and amazing coaches! They strive to help you improve while keeping you safe. Class sizes are small enough to have more 1-1 coaching.
Fantastic experience: If you want to get better, you have to train with the best. That's what I get at GoPrimal/Crossfit MagParke. The programming, coaching, and the facility is amazing. Each work out is fun, new, and will kick your butt. There is attention to detail in all aspects.
Fantastic experience: This gym is the best gym in town. The staff is great and knows you by name. They truly care about helping you better yourself and help you along the way.
Fantastic experience: Get in the very best shape of your life with amazing and knowledgeable instructors and among a supportive group of people you will come to regard as family.
Fantastic experience: Professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable staff & the WOD's are designed to give you the ultimate workout every time! For the beginners all the way to Crush games winners! My favorite part is being able to go there daily and train with people that are on a fitness journey just like me! I've made amazing friends & workout partners there who help push me to my full potential! Love it!
Fantastic experience: As a member since 2010 I find the diversity of training options and the coaches to be extremely valuable. If you're looking for a world class training center in Gainesville. Stop in. You'll see the difference.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great instruction, great people. 5+ stars!
Fantastic experience: I trained at Go Primal for years and there is no fitness community that remotely compares to its all around excellence. I'll sum up my favorite aspects to three main points. First, the leader of the pack,Chris White, is full of fitness and nutritional expertise and is an excellent resource for advice. Second, kick butt workouts that accommodates fitness levels of all types. Third, there is such a welcoming and supportive community that becomes a 2nd family. Go Primal Nation!!
Fantastic experience: I love Go Primal! The coaches are amazing! I started out in bootcamp and that help give me confidence to move on to the group classes. Everyone at this gym is so positive, and I would highly recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Go Primal is the bomb! I love that even if you are a newbie everyone really welcomes you with open arms. From the coaches to the other members. People you don't even know will say a few encouraging words here and there while you are in the middle of your workouts. It's amazing what a few positive words will do to your will power! Just as you think you can't possibly do one more burpee a stranger walks past and says, "you got this!" All of a sudden you can do 5 more. There is a great vibe at GP where all members help contribute to each other's progress. The unique attention to proper technique, flexibility and mobility is also one of my faves about this gym. The coaches are committed to helping us all get better, stronger and healthier. Highly recommend! ❤️
Fantastic experience: At Go Primal I feel empowered to be the best version of myself! I receive knowledge, guidance and training not only regarding exercise, but also the nutritional component of living a healthy lifestyle. Every single coach here has been a significant part of my journey, not to mention the fellow members of this community. The support, encouragement and motivation I receive here has fueled a desire to push the limits I have ever set for myself. This is a community of individuals who are striving to be better today than the day before and I am grateful to be a part of it. I LOVE IT HERE!! If I could stand on top of the tallest mountain and shout for all the world to hear I would, but there are no mountains in Florida, so instead I'll write a google review! Seriously, if you're thinking about checking out Go Primal.....stop thinking and take the action!! Be the best version of yourself and invite Coach Chris and his staff join you on your journey, you'll be glad you did!
