14.01.2022 PRIMAL PRESS RELEASE: G'day Primates you can see lockdown version 2 has not been kind to Scotty (step away from the cakes and up the cardio big boy!!!!) Anyway, As of midnight, regional VIC moves into 3rd Step Restrictions, which do not allow gyms to reopen. We are disappointed by the Government's decision and struggle to see the logic behind it. ... Those of you that are in businesses which are reopening we wish you all the best of luck and success when you kick your doors open. Great news! For our members and the wider community thank you for your ongoing support. We are waiting patiently, however a little frustrated to reopen the doors and welcome you back. Take care, Team Primal

14.01.2022 Friday Quote "FAILURE REQUIRES NO PREPARATION!" The weekend is the perfect time to plan the week ahead. We need to think outside the box a little more with exercise during Lock down but it is more important than ever to look after our Health and Wellness. Hang in there crew!

13.01.2022 SENIOR SPECIAL Pictured is one of our very special members who has been apart of the Primal Community since 2017 - Kevin Mayne. To honor the Victorian Senior Citizens Festival that is set to run each October but will unfortunately not this year due to COVID19, we decided to interview our beloved Kev, aged 83. When asked what Kev loves most here at Primal he answered in less than a second "all the friendly faces." Primal is truly a community like no other. Kev stated he h...as been to a few different gyms in his time but the level of respect and the genuine care at Primal is a totally different ball game. Kev loves that the staff looks after all the members including himself! Regularly checking up on him and educating him on how to complete his exercise program safely. We then asked what Kev misses most about not being able to come to Primal. He misses the ability to exercise in a safe place and stick to his routine which overall helps him feel better. He equally misses the community vibe and social interaction that comes along with being a member here at Primal. I didn’t know anyone there, but now I know everyone. There is a group of us that do a program together on a Monday and have a coffee for half an hour or so afterward. You feel so good after! However, during the lockdown, it has been very difficult for Kev to keep active and healthy. Kev has found it hard to keep active without access to a safe place that is equipped with necessary equipment as well as adequate support. Kev stated that the footpaths around town are not very safe for walking, particularly at the age of 83. We finished off our interview by asking Kev why he believes it is important to come to Primal. For my health. And all aspects of his health too. Since joining Primal his social health has improved as he is now apart of a community where he is able to call both the staff and the members his friends. Of course, his physical health has improved at Primal with all the incredible benefits that come along with regular exercise. And even his mental health too - sometimes you get a little bit tired after some exercise, but you always just feel so good after." Good on you Kev! You are an absolute legend and an inspiration to many
