Primal Member Spotlight: March 2023

Name: 

Erin Chu

Age:

34

How long have you been with Primal? 

7 Months

Why did you start?

I started because in 2022, I was having episodes of debilitating back pain and I had heard that Primal had helped other Olympic weighlifters manage similar injury. Mobility seemed like (and is) a simple way to invest in my body every day.

What is one piece of mobility advice you’d offer a newbie to mobility training?

Do what you can and take note of what movements feel like they've done something for you. You'll find a few that have a really significant effect on your body. Good to remember and keep them for tough days!

If you could have any super power, what would it be? 

To manipulate time

What’s your spirit animal, and why?

The beluga whale. They're kind of small and compact (like me) and very vocal (also me). They're also opportunistic feeders and they're very active. So--we have a lot in common, plus they spark joy!
