About Primal

Primal unlocks strength, endurance, power, cardio, conditioning, speed, flexibility & metabolic energy for fitness and athletic performance.

The concept of Primal has been based upon Stephen Santangelo’s own experience that the concept of physical conditioning and training during injury, needs to play a significant role in athletics and believes this has been a neglected aspect of sports development.

A philosophy of “there’s no excuse not to train” has a strong emphasis in the Primal Fitness Systems method. Regardless, where one lives or the time of year, all athletes and fitness minded people can train and train hard anywhere and anytime.

As the company name indicates, training programs are based upon the most primal functions; walking, running, throwing, jumping, lifting, squatting and carrying. Without a strong development of these fundamental movements, the body is prone to injury and fitness success and physical health cannot be optimally achieved. These training innovations apply to all strength based performances and endurance sports as well as everyday physical activity.
All primal movements are based on holistic conditioning. Conditioning the body to adapt to physical and environmental changes is key to successful performance in sport and life.

With more than 40 years of experience in coaching, training and competing, Stephen has created and shared these unique and patented training systems with many individuals. The creative and innovative methods have been used by youth, professionals, Olympic qualifiers, fitness enthusiast, military recruits, special ops, fire fighters and law enforcement.

Primal Fitness Systems training staff includes Personal Trainers, Yoga instructors, Youth Specialists and Fitness Instructors specializing in conditioning for sports enhancement.
