Billy and Matt are next-level trainers!Billy is an amazing trainer, always checking in on you and tailoring the best exercises to suit your needs. He pays attention to form and finds the most effective (and safe) way to do things. If you're dealing with injuries (I’ve got a few), he makes you feel completely safe and supported during workouts.He’s fun, easygoing, and has a great vibe, but he’ll absolutely push you when he knows you’ve got more to give.Matt is not only a great trainer but also the owner, and you can tell he knows every detail of what’s going on. He’s got years of experience, and it shows in how he runs the space and how he coaches. You always feel like you’re in expert hands.I finally found a place that makes me feel great every time I leave class. And the best part, I can see the changes in my body. Matt and Billy are two incredible humans and total badasses, can’t recommend them enough.

I chose Primal Fit to enlist a personal trainer and picked from its roster the well reviewed, renowned and owner Matt Pack.He spent dedicated time and focus helping me as a senior to safely improve muscle mass, something so diminishing with age .He’s as kind, supportive, and informative as they get, and in addition to physical improvement I had a great time with him and his other in house trainers and their clients. Not your typical loud and indifferent gym. A truly memorable experience.

Life-Changing Training Experience with Matt.I started training with Matt about 3 months ago because I just couldn’t take the lower back pain anymore. I was low on energy, felt weak, couldn’t stand for more than 5 minutes without needing to sit, and even sitting too long would trigger pain. I was constantly cracking my back for a few minutes of relief, and sleep was terrible—I even changed beds three times thinking that was the issue.As a former pro soccer player, going from being active 8+ hours a day to barely being able to move without pain was tough. But working with Matt has been a game changer. In just a few months, I feel strong again, energized, and finally pain-free. It honestly feels like I’ve got my life back.I highly recommend Matt to anyone dealing with chronic pain, mobility issues, or simply wanting to feel like themselves again. His training changed my life—no exaggeration.

I did not realize just how out of shape I was until I started training with Matt Pack. I could not have asked for a more patient, supportive, and encouraging partner on this fitness journey. In less than five months, he helped me transform myself, and I’m in the best shape of my life. Plus, he made it fun and a collaborative experience. Thank you, Matt, my friend!

I cannot say enough great things about Primal Fit Miami and the trainers. They all want you to succeed and they give you all that they have to encourage it. I hesitated for years because of the price but it is well worth it! I am stronger and have more endurance than I ever had.

Update - 1 year later. I love this gym even more. It’s become my refuge. I’ve been doing the group session with Billy. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Billy he’s simply awesome! Even in group sessions Billy is adaptive to individual needs. He is a professional who truly cares about his clients. Sometimes I have to bring my kids (9 & 6 yo) and he keeps them busy! They adore him too!Original Post:I’d give 10 out of 10 if I could. Matt is simply awesome. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable. He keeps you accountable without out the guilt trips and shame. He understands the struggle. He’s a personal trainer for the entire family!

I was in town visiting a friend and joined in on a session with Matt. He was absolutely amazing! He made me feel confident, strong, and heavily catered to my needs. This was easily the best training experience I’ve ever had. I wish I lived in the area so I could work out with him more often. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Training at Primal Fit Miami has been a great experience for me - in a few months I lost 12 pounds, reduced my body fat, and increased my muscle mass. I'm in my 60's and feel stronger, more fit, and have better stamina than I have in the past decade.At Primal Fit, Matt Pack immediately worked with me to design a plan for my specific goals including nutrition, targeted exercises, and any personalized adjustments. On days that my body needed recovery, he adapted my workouts to include additional stretching or work a different muscle group, encouraging me to continue showing up. His knowledge and motivation helped me complete workouts that my family could not picture me doing just a few months ago, improve my overall health, and keep my commitment to feeling my best.The whole team at Primal Fit is great and encouraging, and I genuinely feel like I am having fun while I work on improving my health and conditioning. In addition to one-on-one training, they also have small group sessions focused on full body, lower body, upper body, cardio or mobility.If you want to feel better and look better, I highly recommend you join Primal Fit, a decision you won't regret, it's amazing!Antonio

Let me start by saying, I don't do reviews...But, I feel compelled to leave this one.I have never worked one on one with a personal trainer. This is a first for me. It took me a while to take this plunge. I started working with Matt in June of 2024. In 4 months, I have built a ton of muscle, and lost 5% of my body fat. My body is changing, toned, and getting better by the day.Matt is AMAZING. Primal fit is one of a kind. The space has everything you need. Matt customizes my workouts, and is always encouraging me to work harder and get stronger (my goal). He has held me accountable. He understand the demands of my very demanding career and raising 3 kids (sometimes I can't get to the gym for a week at a time.) He routinely checks in on me to find out how I am feeling after a workout and throughout the week. He also helps with nutrition coaching.The group classes are also great! They are small group classes and the instructors are there to encourage you, push you, make sure you are using the proper form. The members are friendly, kind, encouraging.If you are in the market for a non-conventional gym where people are incredible (trainers and other members), and you are ready to get yourself into the best shape of your life - JOIN US AT PRIMAL FIT!

My hip mobility is improving thanks to Matt. He has helped me to focus on stretch and recovery, and his work outs are excellent. I have learned a lot from Matt and appreciate him taking the time to understand my needs. His expertise is one of a kind.

I reached out to Primal Fit looking for some help with my fitness goals. Owner (Matt Pack) set me up with a 30-min evaluation. Afterwards, he set me up with a simple but effective way to change the way I attacked my fitness goals! He’s held me accountable, and I’m already feeling better about my progress. With 2 kids and a phsyical occupation, he created a at home/specialized plan for me which has been extremely helpful! Much thanks to Matt and Primal Fit for a helping me turn a fitness corner.

Matt helped me to shred the stubborn unwanted weight that I had trouble getting rid on my own. He designed a program suitable and specific to my needs and schedule. He is an inspiring motivating instructor and his style reflected his passion. The structure of the program design flowed seamlessly and helped me develop the physique that I wanted. Throughout the process, Matt took the time to follow up on my progress even on the off days that we were not training. His recommendations for nutrition were also significant in my gains and his knowledge on this subject is immense.If you're looking for a trainer that can elevate your fitness level, I highly recommend Matt Pack to obtain whatever goals you are aiming to achieve. It will be worth it!!Thank you Matt!!

There are few coaches in this world that can do what Matt Pack can do for you. As someone who educates coaches world wide, Matt has all the intangibles, experience, and methods necessary to take you from where you are to where you want to be. I am so lucky to have met Matt and his coaching experience is World Class. He is an amazing human being and he cares about you and is dedicated to help you find the result you are looking for. Thanks Matt for your friendship, mentorship and your training.

I was referred to Matt at Primal about 3 months ago. I was barely walking as I experienced severe sciatica pain. I signed up for Matt's private sessions and within a week of stretching, I was walking with less pain. As he introduced strength training into our session, I started feeling better and stronger. 3 months later, I can say that its the best I've felt in over 10 years.Primal is an amazing neighborhood gym with the nicest, friendliest trainers. They will not hesitate to address any concern, minor or major. Best of all, they are genuinely happy to see people improve their health and bodies.

I began working out at Primal with Matt (who is Amazing). I had tried gyms before, with no luck. Mostly due to traveling for work and not having healthy earthing habits. I met my goals with Matt training me rather quickly, and with no major “unsustainable” life style changes. Just the dial up and dial down method and the personal Training. I physically saw the difference and felt better! And I have maintained my weight loss and muscle gain. So happy to have found this amazing tribe of trainers and cool people that go to the gym!!!

I started at Primal Fit less than 2 months ago and the changes i’ve seen just in these two months are far past my expectations. The way I feel mentally and physically is beyond what I could’ve asked for. Matt is AMAZING at what he does and is truly educated in all aspects of his work. He’s very motivating and accommodating. I couldn’t have picked a better place!

18:49 16 May 24

Matt and Primal Fit are amazing ! Gym has a great vibe! The workouts are fun and challenging and I highly recommend!

I've been working with Matt for the past few months, and I can't express how much better I feel. The pains that used to plague my shoulders, back, neck, and joints have slowly melted away. I can now squat deeper, lift heavier weights, and overall feel stronger and more capable.What sets Matt apart is his dedication and expertise. He's not just a trainer; he's a miracle worker. His personalized approach to training has helped me make incredible progress, and I'm in less pain than ever before.One of the best things about Matt is his flexibility. He comes to your house, bringing everything you need for a successful session—table, mat, and his infectious personality. Working with him feels like a partnership, and I know I can trust him to help me achieve my fitness goals for life.If you're serious about getting in shape and feeling your best, I highly recommend Matt. He's the real deal, and I'm grateful to have him as my trainer.Written by Jose Nodal, Miami Lakes, Florida.

For years, I have had the pleasure of popping into the group sessions at Primal Fit with my dad, and without fail, every visit exceeds expectations. The trainers are exceptional, demonstrating their expertise and commitment to tailoring workouts to accommodate each client's needs. Yet, what truly sets Primal Fit apart is its sense of community. It's rare to find a gym where every face, whether staff or client, greets you with genuine warmth and encouragement. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that's both comforting and motivating.

This is the best gym in Miami. The workouts are fun and effective - lost 3 inches in my waist in two months. They focus on working hard yet not over working. Super effective for leaning out. The trainers are stellar people and highly trained professionals. Even though it’s small group training, I get personalized coaching and corrections every time I’m there. They have your back to push you when need motivation and to support you when need it. I no longer worry about hurting myself by lifting incorrectly The other gym goers are super kind, interesting & fun. Cheering and challenging each other. It is a close community of health conscious people. This gym is a blessing. After working out in my home gym and working from home for the last three years, each morning I am excited to get up and go workout at PrimalFit. 🙏🏻💪💕

Since I started going to Primal Fit my fitness has been getting unbelievably better and better. As a runner and cyclist before joining Primal Fit I was running at a really slow pace. Feeling sluggish. Even in pain sometimes. On my bike too. Not being able to pull much and slow. Believe it or not 2 weeks after joining Primal Fit I immediately noticed the difference!!! My running numbers went down 2 minutes a mile!!! I’m able now to pull much more and longer on my bike and at a much faster speed. (And I have the “strava app” to prove it)I don’t feel sluggish any more. It no longer hurts when I run and I’m feeling much more energetic! I’ve gained muscle mass which is so important at my age and my body has changed DRAMATICALLY! Looking fit and athletic! People see me and notice right away I do sports. Running and cycling. Even my friends and family notice a dramatic change. And its only been 2 months! I can’t wait for the summer to show off my athletic body and muscles lolThank you Matt and all the trainers at Primal Fit for making me feel at home and helping me achieve my fitness goals!!

Primal Fit is more than a gym. I have several old injuries that caused chronic pain and I was very fearful to re-injure myself. In the past I tried Chiro, Physical Therapy & ROLF and had made such slow progress repairing and regaining strength. Meanwhile I gained weight and got out of shape.Every trainer at Primal Fit (Matt, Billy, Prashant, Alex & Jade) became aware of my injuries and were happy to provide me with alternative exercises and keep an eye on me throughout the workout, especially in the beginning when I was afraid to make a wrong move. I've never been to another gym where the trainers treat you with so much care and pay attention to your form. They're able to do this because of the small class sizes. They're invested in my fitness goals and there is always encouragement for me to push myself but all the trainers are also very respectful if I felt an exercise was too much and because of this I have been able to be consistent and make progress.Also, it's a joy to be there! It's got a neighborhood feel and in addition to the trainers being awesome, the people who attend the gym are amazing as well.I've been going to Primal Fit for almost 4 months and since joining I've gained muscle and strength, lost weight and the severity and frequency of my pain is wayyyy down. My body is stronger and more functional and I cannot thank the Primal Fit team enough. Don't think twice, it will be one of the best decisions you make!

Could not have imagined being a part of such a tight-knit, fun, and inspiring gym community when we moved to the neighborhood. We have been taking group classes at Primal Fit for the last several months and have enjoyed every minute. The staff are incredible and highly knowledgeable, the energy is infectious, and we feel better than we have in years. Highly recommend joining such a wonderful group of people for your fitness journey.

I found primal fit back in early 2018 after we moved and needed a new gym. I was intrigued by what Matt has put together with his small group classes and that he used many different fitness modalities (strength, cardio, animal flow, mobility, etc.) which kept things interesting. His programming is safe, well thought, and effective.For recovery or after you have hit your workouts too hard he also offers mash & stretch therapy to help get you feeling back to normal.They give the coaching attention and advice you need-it’s almost like having a personal trainer.I highly recommend stopping by to talk to Matt and his team if your looking for a change to your health and fitness journey.

I’ve worked on and off with Matt Pack for 20 years since the Impack days. What Matt and his team offer at Primal Fit isn’t just a work out. They look after your health and wellness in and out of the gym. Help and make sure you’re staying on track with your diet. The workouts involve traditional weights and machines, aswell as med balls, kettle bells, ropes, resistance bands, hammers and tires, you’ll never get bored of the combinations, movements, and the primal fit way of doing things. If you’re sick of being soft, and are ready to make to make lifestyle changes, Primal Fit will harden you up and you’ll enjoy it! Thanks Matt & team.

I started the mobility workouts with Matt at Primal Fit 4 weeks ago and I already feel a big difference. I love how my body feels after each routine. Matt’s training helps improve the range of motion of all joints. I drive the extra 30 minutes just to go to his gym . Atmosphere is great and so are the people. Thank you Matt !! I absolutely love it!

I really do not know where to start. Matt was more than just a personal trainer, he was very compassionate about about his work and easily cared for my health as much as i did. He checked up on me even when sessions were over. This place was absolutely the best. I wasn't only showed exercise and the proper way to do them. I was taught a lifestyle. For me, Matt was so many different things. Some examples are, a coach, a diettian, a motivator, and most importantly, became a friend. His compassion and knowledge can not be matched. I was able to reach a goal i never thought possible, all in a wonderful welcoming atmosphere, while developing a mentor relationship. Thanks matt. #primalfitnesssucessstory

I started the mobility workouts with Matt at Primal Fit 4 weeks ago and I already feel a big difference. I’m stiff from years of sitting at a computer and I love how my body feels after each routine. Matt’s class helps improve the range of motion of all joints and muscles, as well as prevents knots and injuries. This Mobility training can alleviate 'everyday' aches and pains as well as improve our body awareness. I absolutely love it!

I am so happy to have discovered Primal Fit. Like the website says, it truly does feel like a tribe - fantastic facility, top tier coaches, and the people in the classes are amazing! After so many times driving by and seeing the location, and so so so many different attempts to get fit after forty - too many to mention - the small group classes is what did it for me. I’m 5 months in and this is the best gift I could’ve given myself. It’s so much more than just a workout - there is support, guidance, motivation, and more importantly a perfectly challenging workout session, no matter what level or shape you’re in. Special shout out to Matt, Billy, Prashant and Adam!

I strained my back lifting some heavy weight and was sore and stiff for the past six weeks. After a series of sessions of massages, acupuncture, and chiropractic, the only real relief came from Matt’s stretching session at Primal Fit. Matt has excellent knowledge on how to stretch your muscles, specially the most difficult ones in the lumbar area. I noticed the difference right away when I got in and out of my car. My back was not stiff or sore anymore. Thanks Matt for your great expertise. My girlfriend will be visiting from out of state and I already booked a session for her. I highly recommend this stretch session to everyone.

A few months back, my girlfriend and I were doing what you're (most likely) doing right now - looking for a new way to get in shape. We stumbled upon Primal Fit, a logo we recognized from corner of 82nd & 2nd in Little River. We read through the hundreds of spectacular reviews and decided to give them a ring.From our first phone call with Matt (the owner) to our first-week free trial, we knew instantly that this place has five stars for a reason. The classes are the right level of intensity (you're essentially receiving a personal training session, at a fraction of the price, in a small-group setting), and the instructors as well as the participants are kind and welcoming (this is not one of those plastic, do-it-for-the-Gram kinds of gyms that litter this town).We've now been attending classes for 4-5 months, and we're proud to have Primal Fit as part of our lifestyle. Do yourself and your health a favor, and sign up today!

Just finished the Summer Slim Down Challenge. Muscle % up and body fat down :-). Primal Fit takes a holistic approach to working out with a full body scan to start, focus on varied workouts, proper mechanics, daily movement, nutrition and community/accountability. I was looking for an intense interval workout with focus on weight training , not the typical cardio/HIIT rushed experience and Primal really delivered. Smaller classes, great instruction, music at a proper volume do you can still hear the instructor. Great motivating before/after pics everywhere. Clean private bathrooms and showers too. And a snack machine full of healthy stuff! Def a premium, boutique experience! Highly recommended.

Want to lose weight the healthy way? I lost 15 lbs and nearly 5% body fat at Primal Fit Miami in 4 weeks.Primal Fit's owner is the famous personal trainer Matt Pack. His emphasis on nutrition is just as important as his weight and cardio fitness programs.Nutrition is key to being healthy inside and out; Matt and his team of certified trainers (Billy, Alexandra, and Big P) ensure that your form, weight training and cardio are all in sync with your diet. Balanced in protein and carbs, Matt does not advocate any fad diets - it's all about balance on your calories.Having lost 15 lbs and nearly 5% body fat in 4 weeks... walking every day instead of TV and between meetings... attending the Primal Fit gym programs 3 times per week. One cannot argue with the results and knowledge that Primal Fit has given me.Highly recommended!

Primal Fit has been an invaluable part of my fitness journey for years now. Before I became a Primal Fit member, I was training on my own at the local gym with little to no results. With Primal Fit's owner Matt Pack and A1 trainer Billy Casimir by my side, however, this all changed! They have guided me every step of the way in achieving both physical and mental transformation goals that were previously unattainable before joining Primal Fit. The atmosphere is also incredibly inviting - everyone is at different levels but there is still great empathy and respect among members which makes it easy to stay motivated in your workouts without feeling judged or discouraged. Every workout led by Billy gives me amazing results faster than ever before, while ensuring that I don't hurt myself during exercise either! To this day, I continue putting myself in the hands of Primal Fit because until you try it out yourself, you'll never know what it’s really like - so thank you to the entire Primal Fit family for helping make such a positive impact on my life!

I have had the pleasure of working with Matt Pack, a personal trainer and stretch therapist, for over a year. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in good hands. I was feeling locked up and in pain, but under Matt's guidance, I was soon feeling much better.Matt's expertise is truly impressive. He knows how to increase flexibility and mobility, which has improved my overall quality of life. I'm able to be more active with my kids, and even my golf game has improved. I'm so grateful for Matt's help.But it's not just his knowledge that makes him stand out—it's his warm and personable approach. Matt is easy to talk to and genuinely cares about his clients. He's a true professional, always arriving on time and making sure each session is tailored to my specific needs.Overall, I would highly recommend Matt Pack to anyone looking to feel better and enjoy a better quality of life. Thank you, Matt, for all you've done for me.
