Client testimonials

  • It’s hard to put into words how thankful I am for Primitive Wellness… I held off reaching out to Chance for personal training for nearly a year because I had a preconceived notion in my mind of what it would be like. I desperately needed to move my body but lacked the motivation to go to a gym because I hated working out and I don’t feel like I fit into a typical gym atmosphere. My notion quickly diminished as I was greeted by Chance with a welcoming, non-judgmental, easy going attitude that instantly made me feel comfortable. Everyday tasks, my work, and even recreation had become daunting because I was so out of shape. Fast forward 8 months and that has all changed; now I look forward to working out (um, did I just say that?) and things I used to struggle to do are easy. I feel like a different person! My only regret is not reaching out sooner!

  • Clean, professional and personable, Primitive Wellness has been an awesome experience. Chance is devoted to his craft and meeting the health and wellness needs of his clients. Would totally recommend for novices or pros!

    Daniel, a client of 1 and half years

  • Chance is an excellent trainer instilling confidence in my son, a high school athlete since his first session. I joined in on sessions in June and it’s been the best investment of time, energy and money. Chance provides workouts that don’t allow for plateauing - all the workouts include warmups and cool downs with focus time that works to build strength. Highly recommend!

    Jennifer, a client with 140+ sessions

  • Chance was able to completely change my mind about personal training. It’s not that I didn’t think it would work, I was just super anxious about the idea of working out in front of someone else since I’m not in the best shape. I figured it would be awkward and I would feel too insecure to do it, but I was wrong. Not only is he super knowledgeable about all aspects of health and nutrition that can help you but he really is super personable. He’s a personal trainer that really cares about making you feel comfortable and puts just as much time into that as he does personalizing your workout plan. He makes it so not only am I NOT dreading my work out but that I’m actually enjoying it. (🤯) He pushes you enough to make a difference but not too much to make you want to quit. Strongly recommend!

    Jayme, a client for several months

  • Highly recommend Chance for personal training! He is very knowledgeable and really focuses on what each individual’s goals and needs are and creates excellent, detailed training programs that really work! His small group training sessions are excellent as well! The gym is awesome! Well equipped and very comfortable and welcoming!

    Becky, my first ever client, trained for 6+ months

  • Highly recommend the group classes! Chance offers a comfortable environment to focus on your goals, he is very knowledgeable about what you should focus on, and I like the variety of class options you can join each week.

  • I've been training with Chance since July of 2023. When I started my fitness journey I knew I didn't want to go to a public gym as it can be intimidating and well, alot of judgy people (I struggle with self esteem & body image). When I had my consultation with then CG Personal Training I felt welcomed and the atmosphere was very down to earth. Chance doesn't just train you from a book so to speak, he caters to your individual fitness needs. It's not all about lifting heavy or trying to lose weight at a unhealthy pace. He incorporates mobility,strength,endurance and even a little yoga or pilates. With Primitive Wellness you will leave your sessions feeling great not massively sore and dreading the next workout. I look forward to my days spent in the gym! Since joining I have gained alot of knowledge, improved my mobility by leaps and bounds, feel like I have wonder woman strength some days 🙂 and have grown so much in my mental health journey as well. If your looking for a place to not be judged but supported and encouraged, someone to talk your ear off and a unique one of a kind personal trainer, I 100% recommend Primitive wellness.

Exercise doesn’t need to be complicated…

When I was brainstorming names for my personal training business, I was searching for something that embraced my philosophies around exercise and overall wellness, that’s when the word primitive came to mind. When I think of the word primitive, I think of simplicity, freedom, and unburdened. Simple is my approach to exercise; it doesn’t need to be complicated. Freedom to move without aches or pains. Unburdened from chronic disease, anxiety and depression.

Our location

We are located at 1 Tamarack Dr. Newport, ME. The door to the right is our entryway to both the personal training gym and massage studio. We live upstairs in the building, so every once and awhile, you’ll hear the sounds of our three dogs (and single cat) playing.
