We really did need PRIMAL’s knowledge and guidance. They led with their expertise on what they thought would work for us.  And it did!
Lauren Foy
Co-Owner of Transfit Widnes

Three coaches came together to combine their expertise, personal experiences and local knowledge, to create this huge and successful independent gym that would see a long term partnership with PRIMAL as a like-minded partner.

 

Transfit

Transfit Widnes: Best in the region

 

When you get three passionate fitness professionals together, who like to train wherever they go, you get a wealth of knowledge about what makes a gym good.  The ambitious trio of Dom Speakman, Luke Colford and Lauren Foy had worked within smaller gym settings before, but they had bigger dreams.  They set about opening a huge state-of-the-art facility, with fitness knowledge in spades, what they needed now was a partner to guide them through the gym design and keeping their gym moving with the times. 


Standing Chest Press

Progressing with the right partner

 

Transfit opened in 2019 and have achieved the goal of being the best in the region, surviving many ups and downs in the industry, and continuing to get better.  This is why their partnership with PRIMAL didn’t stop at opening day.  Transfit continue to add the most innovative and top of the range machines to their collection - like the brand new Performance Series Standing Chest Press - this keeps their gym floor unique, ahead of the curve and remaining a huge draw for new and current members.

What good looks like

 

Transfit have worked with PRIMAL to make sure their member experience is the best in the business. Quick to jump on the functional training trend, Transfit are an official Hyrox Affiliated gym, with a large functional training area complete with HIIT cardio machines, 3 bay functional rig with wall ball targets, and an array of functional accessories.  These areas are used for Hyrox focussed classes, and hybrid strength and functional classes - catering to a broad range of needs and fitness preferences.

 

Not only do Transfit sport the largest area of its kind in Widnes, but they can also boast a market leading lower body area.  Designed to target every muscle in the lower body with precision. Stand out pieces you won’t find in your average gym include, Performance Series pendulum squat, belt squat, plate loaded kickback, and prone hamstring curl.

 

Transfit

Reinvesting

 

“We continue to reinvest and we’re only willing to work with the best. We want to ensure we’re hitting a standard that is unmatched in the area”. PRIMAL are proud to be one of Transfit’s trusted partners - in with the best.  We continue to stay in touch, making sure they have the best equipment and are well adapted to trends and member expectations. It’s this long term mindset and commitment to high quality that means larger independent gyms like Transfit Widnes are sure to stand the test of time.

    Using strength training to reduce stress

      Strength training is about more than having the biggest biceps and being physically dominating.   As time goes on people are smashing the stereotype of muscle beach, male only gym bros and the free weight section being a source of fear.
