Ethan Campuzano is not your typical personal trainer. He’s not just about getting his clients to lift weights or do cardio; he’s also about helping them improve their mental health and well-being. With his brand Primitive Up, Ethan is on a mission to empower lives through fitness, mindfulness, and unyielding support.
Ethan’s fitness journey began when he was young, but it wasn’t until he was a young adult that he took it seriously. He worked out in high school and college and even joined the Marine Corps, but it wasn’t until he got out that fitness became a part of his daily life. Ethan says, “It made me want to become a personal trainer to help others.” His clients range from athletes to stay-at-home moms to people wanting to get in shape. He doesn’t discriminate; he’s here to help anyone who wants to improve their health and well-being.
One thing that sets Ethan apart from other personal trainers is his focus on mindfulness. He understands that fitness is not just about the physical but also about the mental. “Fitness is not just about how you look, but also how you feel,” he says. “It’s about having the mental strength to push through when things get tough.”
To that end, Ethan incorporates mindfulness practices into his training sessions. He teaches his clients how to think and stay positive, breathe, and stay present in the moment. He believes that mindfulness is the key to improving not only physical fitness but also mental health. But it’s not just about the training sessions. Ethan’s brand, Primitive Up, is about providing unyielding support to his clients. He’s more than a personal trainer; he’s also a coach, mentor, and friend. He’s there for his clients 24/7, providing them with the motivation and encouragement they need to reach their goals.
Ethan’s support extends beyond just fitness. He believes in improving your health and well-being. Therefore, he encourages his clients to seek therapy or counselling if needed and provides them with resources. He also promotes self-care practices, such as taking time for yourself and practising gratitude.
It’s not only his clients that Ethan is helping. He’s also a social media influencer with over 50,000 followers on Instagram. He uses his platform to share fitness and mindfulness tips, promote mental health awareness, and inspire his followers to live their best lives. He’s even parlayed his social media presence into a career as a verified artist manager, representing the rising star, Pranda.
But Ethan has faced his share of challenges. He admits that he struggled with camera shyness early in his social media career. However, he overcame this challenge by recording videos repeatedly until he became comfortable in front of the camera. Now, he’s a natural in front of the lens, using his social media platform to inspire and motivate others. Ethan’s dream is to help thousands, even millions, improve their health and well-being through Primitive Up. He wants to help people get fit and become mentally strong. And with his unique focus on mindfulness and unyielding support, he’s well on his way to achieving that dream.
