YOU DON'T NEED TO TRAIN LIKE YOU'RE 25.
Maybe you've noticed that your body doesn't quite do what it used to.
Stairs feel harder.
Your back gets stiff.
You don't have the energy you once had.
You've gained some weight.
You've lost some strength.
Or maybe you've simply realized that if you want to keep doing the things you enjoy, you need to start taking better care of yourself.
That doesn't mean you need an extreme workout program.
And it doesn't mean you need to spend hours in a crowded gym.
You need a plan that meets you where you are—and helps you become more capable from there.
TRAIN FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT TO KEEP LIVING.
At Primitive Wellness, we believe fitness should give you more freedom, not become another burden.
We focus on the fundamentals:
STRENGTH
Build the muscle and strength you need for everyday life.
MOVEMENT
Improve mobility, balance, coordination, and confidence in your body.
NUTRITION
Develop realistic eating habits that support your goals without extreme dieting.
CONDITIONING
Build the endurance and energy to do more of what you enjoy.
RECOVERY
Learn how sleep, stress management, and recovery fit into a healthy lifestyle.
CONSISTENCY
Create habits you can maintain when life gets busy.
The goal isn't to make you exhausted.
The goal is to make you more capable.
IS THIS YOU?
You're not looking for another fitness fad.
You're looking for something that actually fits your life.
You haven't exercised consistently in years.
That's okay.
You don't need to get “in shape” before you start. We'll meet you where you are.
You don't feel comfortable in typical gyms.
You're not alone.
Primitive Wellness provides a private, welcoming environment where you can focus on yourself without feeling judged.
You want to get stronger but don't know where to begin.
We'll teach you how to move, how to train, and how to progress safely.
You want to lose weight—but you're tired of extreme diets.
We'll focus on sustainable nutrition and lifestyle habits rather than crash diets and unrealistic restrictions.
You want to stay active as you get older.
We'll build strength, mobility, endurance, and balance around the activities and lifestyle that matter to you.
You want to feel better—not destroyed—after a workout.
Training should challenge you.
It shouldn't make you dread coming back.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF PERSONAL TRAINING
You don't have to love exercise to benefit from it.
In fact, many of our clients didn't love exercise when they started.
Some were nervous about working out in front of someone.
Some didn't feel like they belonged in a gym.
Some hadn't exercised consistently in years.
And some simply didn't know where to start.
That's why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all workout.
Your training is built around your current ability, your goals, your limitations, and your life.
You'll be challenged—but appropriately.
You'll learn what you're doing and why.
And over time, you'll build something much more valuable than a good workout:
confidence in what your body can do.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.
“I feel like a different person.”
“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... and things I used to struggle to do are easy.”
— Robbie, Primitive Wellness client
“I actually enjoy working out.”
“He pushes you enough to make a difference but not too much to make you want to quit.”
— Jayme, Primitive Wellness client
“I feel supported, not judged.”
“If you're looking for a place to not be judged but supported and encouraged... I 100% recommend Primitive Wellness.”
— Dana, Primitive Wellness client
“I didn't want to go to a public gym.”
“When I started my fitness journey I knew I didn't want to go to a public gym as it can be intimidating... When I had my consultation... I felt welcomed and the atmosphere was very down to earth.”
— Dana, Primitive Wellness client
WHAT MAKES PRIMITIVE WELLNESS DIFFERENT?
SIMPLE.
Exercise doesn't need to be complicated.
PERSONAL.
Your program should be built for you, not copied from someone else's workout.
SUSTAINABLE.
The best program is one you can continue for months and years—not just two weeks.
HUMAN.
You're not a number, a body type, or a before-and-after photo.
You're a person with a life, responsibilities, limitations, preferences, and goals.
WHAT DOES “PRIMITIVE” MEAN?
SIMPLICITY. FREEDOM. UNBURDENED.
When I was naming Primitive Wellness, I kept coming back to the word primitive.
To me, it represents a simpler approach.
In a world filled with complicated diets, extreme workouts, and endless health advice, I believe the fundamentals still matter.
Move your body.
Build strength.
Eat nutritious food.
Sleep.
Recover.
Take care of yourself.
You don't need to optimize every part of your life to become healthier.
You need to consistently practice the things that matter.
Primitive Wellness is about becoming strong enough and healthy enough to live your life with more freedom.

MEET YOUR COACH
I'M CHANCE.
I'm the owner and coach behind Primitive Wellness.
I started this business because I believe getting healthier shouldn't require becoming obsessed with fitness.
You shouldn't have to live at the gym.
You shouldn't have to follow an extreme diet.
And you shouldn't feel like you need to become someone else before you're worthy of taking care of yourself.
My job is to help you understand your body, build strength, improve your health, and develop habits that fit into your actual life.
Sometimes that means pushing you.
Sometimes it means backing off.
Sometimes it means changing the plan completely.
Because the plan has to work for the person—not the other way around.
A PRIVATE, WELCOMING SPACE
NO CROWDED GYM. NO JUDGMENT.
Primitive Wellness is located in Newport, Maine, in a private training environment.
It's intentionally different from a large commercial gym.
You don't have to worry about crowds, waiting for equipment, or wondering whether everyone is watching you.
You can simply show up, focus on yourself, and train.
And yes—because we live upstairs, you may occasionally hear our three dogs and single cat causing a little chaos.
That's part of the Primitive Wellness experience.
YOUR NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE.
You don't have to become a different person.
You just need to start taking better care of the person you already are.
If you're 40+ and want to become stronger, move better, improve your health, and stay capable for the years ahead, let's talk.
Schedule a free consultation.
We'll talk about your goals, answer your questions, and figure out whether Primitive Wellness is the right fit for you.
No pressure. No judgment. Just a conversation.
