Primal Jym

The culture is phenomenal. If competition is what you want, they can prepare you for that effectively. If staying in shape and fitness is your goal, your expectations will be met exceedingly. The staff is supportive and welcoming. The fighters are awesome. A truly awesome place and environment.

This is an awesome gym that has expert boxers coaching nightly classes (just take a look at Jim's bio to see for yourself!). Boxing is a great cardio workout, and the sequences are a great way to keep me mentally on my toes in a different, new, and FUN way, too!! I love the diversity in this gym. I'm inspired by young teenagers, men and women who have been working out for decades, and newcomers too! Jayson Sia is an awesome addition to this gym. His personal training is amazing. He truly cares, listens to what his clients want, and is a true coach in every sense of the word! Come check it out!!!

I walked in to Primal Gym in September 2018 about a good 30 pounds overweight, someone who was not confident in himself, and someone who so badly wanted to change his life for the better, but couldn't just get out of his own way. As a fan of boxing, I came across Primal Gym through an online search. When I met and toured the facility with Jim, I knew right then and there I had come to the right place! Training at Primal and with Jim has turned out to be ONE of the BEST decisions I have made in my life! Not only have I learned how to box, I have also gained valuable lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life; including self-discipline, commitment and always embracing the opportunity to learn. About eight months after I first stumbled upon Primal, I am grateful to say I have dropped 40 pounds and feel I am in the best shape of my life! Thank you Jim for taking a chance on me and for always pushing me to strive to be at my best! Your support and guidance are truly appreciated and inspiring! No matter what type of day I may be having outside the gym, I always look forward to training at Primal. If you are in the Mercer/Somerset county area and are ready to take yourself to the next level, I would HIGHLY recommend training at Primal!

This is a great place to train. Jim and the other coaches are all extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and will help you reach your goals.

I had the privilege of training with Jim McCann in JKD. He's a great instructor that teaches in a simplistic manner. Being extremely knowledgeable about martial arts, he doesn't just show you a technique but also explains why it is effective (or ineffective). I did not have the pleasure of training with the other instructors but they were very friendly in passing. I would recommend this gym for martial arts as well as fitness training as they have a lot to offer.
