Tailor Made Plans
At Primitive Performance we believe that a sucessful physique transformation can be incredibly empowering. We enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, all with their own unique stories and goals. All of our programmes are completely tailor made for you and we limit our client base to ensure a quality service as many preps can require frequent check ins. As athletes we have personally worked along side some of the best coaches in the world from Neil Hill to Chris Aceto and Jordan Peters. This investment has given us a better understanding of the various types of coaching and enabled us to taylor our own approach.
