Primal Flow is a scalable framework for understanding, creating and coaching movement. It isn't a collection of exercises.
Primal Flow was created to solve a problem. That problem, how to deliver effective training without equipment.
A practical solution evolved into a movement framework. It was built on the principle that movement should be adaptable, accessible and challenging.
We're not giving you another a list of exercises. We are giving you the tools to create your own. Primal Flow helps you create movement experiences for your clients. Experiences that help them build strength, mobility, coordination, agility and fitness.
Using our framework and unique time-based training system, we show you how the body moves. Then we show you how to create engaging bodyweight workouts. These workouts can be adapted to suit any individual, environment or training goal.
Primal Flow encourages movement play, problem-solving and movement variability.
We start with bodyweight training to lay the foundations. In our Advanced Instructor Course, we explore those movements that benefit from equipment. This might include hanging, swinging, throwing, carrying or lifting.
Primal Flow isn't about memorising routines or following rigid rules. We develop your knowledge and confidence to build better experiences for your clients. The Primal Flow Instructor Course is your first step to being a better movement coach.
Before we can explore movement, we need a solid foundation. We revisit key principles that underpin effective coaching. These include periodisation, programming, energy systems and basic anatomy.
We explore the body as an integrated system. How bones, muscles and nerves interact and make movement unique.
In this phase, we explore the Primal Flow Model and learn how to use it to become a more effective coach.
Explore locomotor, non-locomotor and joint actions. We also highlight some of the key Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS). We explore how movement can be adapted and varied. By doing so, you can create different challenges and experiences for your clients.
This is brought to life during our face-to-face workshop. Experience the Model first hand and learn how to apply it in your coaching.
Discover the versatility of our unique time-based training system. Learn how to structure, programme and deliver movement-led workouts with confidence. Apply your movement knowledge instantly and learn how to create effective movement transitions. We explore how on our face to face workshop.
You've got all the information and you've been inspired. All that is left to do is to practice creating your own client focussed movement workouts. We'll show you how to do that for the people you work with. Bring your own unique spin to our system.
You can immediately integrate Primal Flow into your business. Your learning has only just begun but what better way than doing. Your skill level has just sky-rocketed, even as a beginner. We provide you with programming ideas and a simple template to use to create your own workouts. We'll support you as much as we can. Join our community and share your ideas.
Primal Flow is a educational framework for understanding, creating and coaching movement.
Locomotor involves moving your body from one location to another. These movements are crucial for physical development and coordination.
Non-locomotor involves moving the body while remaining in one place. These movements are essential for developing coordination, balance and body awareness.
Fundamental Movement Skills are foundational movement skills that typically develop during childhood. They provide the foundation for more complex movement and physical activity. They are important skills for everyday life and sport.
Joint actions are the movements that take place at our joints. These actions work together to create movement.
Movement variables are the different ways you can adapt a movement pattern to create new challenges and experiences.
