Testimonial: BACK to Health

 

 

Before attending a PRIMALity workshop my expectations were good. After attending they were very good.

Darryl is a great teacher and has lots of knowledge. You can tell when you talk to him that he has really studied movement in all its forms. The thing that stood out was you actually feel better when you move naturally, instantly.

You also feel totally tired even though it feels like you haven't done much - but that is to be expected when you are moving as you are supposed to.

I injured my back and groin with some nerve damage that was unconfirmed while driving buses 4 years ago and was more or less told by doctors that all they were going to do for me is give me a sheet of paper with back exercises on and to come back if 'there were any problems'. I decided to take matters into my own hands as they clearly were not going to find out the root cause.  After 3 years I was still in the same condition and still overweight.

12 months ago I started to follow a Paleo diet and read various sources of information including joining a Paleo social network of which Darryl Edwards was a member. This all helped me obtain a healthy weight and become fitter than I ever have. The PRIMALity workshop was the topping on the cake and gave me help that will stay with me forever.  Surprisingly, my back injury has improved within two weeks of doing my first PRIMALity workshop and I have suffered for 4 years so that has to be something.  

I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in fitness even if you consider yourself incredibly fit, you will be surprised.

-Zach.

Testimonial: The Fitness Explorer

 

Darryl...

Just discovered your videos while looking for some footage of animal walk ideas on YouTube. Awesome material- have not seen many people taking play and animal movements to heart in an urban environment the way you have. 

Also, digging the usage of playout instead of workout- I'm only just realizing how powerful changing the word used to describe my movement sessions has on my psyche. Thank you!

I’m based out of Connecticut, but if you ever host a workshop on the East Coast, USA, I would definitely want to attend.

Take care,
Cam

Testimonial: Eczema (Before And After)

 Testimonial: Eczema - Before And After

Here are some comparison shots of my son's arms and legs who has suffered from Ezcema. This is what paleo and a consultation with Darryl has done for us. This has changed so much for us, he was waking up itching constantly, and I was trying everything to 'fix' it without success.  These pictures cover a before and after of just a few months.

 

I don't want any other children or parents having to go through what we did. Thankfully I learnt lessons from this and do things differently with my daughter.  I stopped putting eczema and moisturising cream on his skin altogether. It's making life a lot cheaper.  

 

Yet again, thanks to Darryl for his great work.

Testimonial: PRIMALity 1 Day Workshop

 

Some feedback from a recent workshop



"Darryl

Thanks for a great day. It was very inspiring and motivating and I learned a lot. And I'm plenty sore today!

The most valuable section of the workshop was being out in the park. The gym was a good intro and helped to be more precise in terms of technique, but the park was FUN and helped me really envisage how I can incorporate more PRIMALity into my life.

I appreciate a lot more what sprinting can do for me and stuff like climbing/balancing and the animal crawls really showed me FUN, which happens also to strengthen. For me, this is really important because I'm wanting to add a lot more fun to my life these days. The workshop is about living more naturally, primarily how to eat in a more traditional way and how to move more fully, using your whole body and all your capacities in practical and fun ways out in the real world. And it's really fun!

And -- I seriously want that t-shirt you were wearing. It was cool and spreads the message! I'd even be willing to pay for a one-off"

T. Longacre.
