GIVING AN EARLY START TO STRONG FUTURES,
ONE MOVEMENT AT A TIME

At Primer, we believe that movement and physical activity is essential to childhood - not just for physical health and prowess, but for enhancing confidence, focus and joy.

Where Play Meets Purpose

Inspired by Montessori principles and backed by principles of physical education sciences, Primer is a kids’ gym and athletics studio designed thoughtfully for growing children. Our activity circuits and games are designed to develop essential physical skills and build foundations for an athletic and physically active life. We love to turn movement and exercise into a joyful routine early on - teaching consistency, discipline and the joy of showing up.

A Legacy of Strength

Primer began as a father-daughter project, built on shared belief that physical activity has the power to shape stronger, resilient children. Founded by Retd Indian Army Brig. Rakesh Katyal, the family envisioned a space which is designed for kids to thrive and fall in love with movement.

We are mentored by seasoned school principal and educator, Ritu Khosla and nationally ranked young tennis star, Rushil Khosla (former India Rank #1 in U-14 Tennis).
