Six Years, Five Thousand Leads, and One Epic Team: Reflecting on Primal Mvmnt’s Journey

Six years ago, I lost a business. I had to start from scratch — and I mean that literally. My first “gym” was a park, and my biggest challenge most mornings wasn’t programming a workout, it was avoiding dog mess before my clients arrived.

That was the beginning of Primal Mvmnt Fitness & Nutrition.

Today, I’m reflecting on everything that’s happened since — and honestly, I’m blown away.

The Numbers That Tell Part of the Story

Here in the UK, only around 40% of businesses make it to six years. So many close their doors long before that point. When I think back to where we started — one person, a park, and a lot of uncertainty — hitting this milestone means everything.

Some numbers that mark the journey so far:

• Over 5,000 leads have reached out to Primal Mvmnt since we began
• 1,121 Free Intro conversations — real, one-to-one chats helping people figure out whether we’re the right fit for their health and fitness goals
• 447 people have walked through our doors and trained with us, and a huge number of them are still training with us today
• From a team of 1 to a team of 8 — people who’ve dedicated themselves to helping our members show up as the best version of themselves

But honestly, those numbers only tell part of the story.

What It’s Really About

Everyone who walks through our doors has a different reason for being here. Some want to build strength. Some want more energy to keep up with their kids. Some just want to feel better in themselves. But no matter the starting point, it all comes back to the same thing: people wanting to improve themselves and feel proud of who they’re becoming.

Over the last six years, we’ve watched so many of those transformations happen. We’ve seen relationships built between members who started as strangers and became genuine friends. We’ve shared experiences and memories that our team — and I know our members too — will treasure forever.

That’s the real milestone. Not the numbers on a spreadsheet, but the lives that have changed shape around them.

Hearing It From Our Members

Rather than just take our word for it, we wanted to share some of those stories directly. Below are a few of the member testimonials from our testimonials page — real people, real journeys, in their own words.

You can watch all ten member interviews on our Testimonials page – HERE.

A Team Effort, Not a Solo Effort

None of this happens without our members and our team. I want to take a moment to give a genuine shout-out to the incredible people who’ve helped build Primal Mvmnt into what it is today. We’ve grown from just me to a team of eight, and every single one of them shows up for our members every day.

I’m proud to say that today, I’m able to support my family through this business — and just as importantly, I’m proud to support eight other families too. That’s not something I take lightly, and it’s a big part of why this milestone means so much.

Here’s to the Next Six Years

We started in a park, trying to help people while dodging dog mess. Six years, 5,000+ leads, and 447 members later, we’re still here — still helping people move better, feel stronger, and become the best version of themselves.

But we’re not slowing down. We’re only just getting started.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own journey with us, now’s a great time to reach out. Book a Free Intro (CLICK HERE) and let’s have a conversation about your goals.

Thank you to every single member, past and present, and to our incredible team. Here’s to the next six years and beyond.
