😠 With the exception of a small HIIT style workout room upstairs (CrossFit style air bikes and ski ergs) the remaining facilities are utterly appalling. Cheap, worn out equipment everywhere, that has to be at least 15 years old or second hand at best. Definitely worth looking elsewhere. People often mention great, Visions, equipment, staff, friendly, group, years, good, team, workout,

    Love this gym! Immediately felt comfortable at Visions since I joined a couple of years ago now. Super friendly & accommodating staff with great energy in our morning group training classes. They have a variety of group training sessions covering strength to cardio, depending on what you're after, and the room is fit out well with all the equipment you'll need. The rest of the gym is also great, with a good selection of equipment. One thing which sets it apart from others is the family / community vibe! Highly recommend for all fitness levels!

    My experiences with Vision Hawthorn have been extremely positive, with more than adequate facilities, equipment and a high level of service from the staff. My first session was a group session with some fellow peers from my sporting club and we had Michael as our trainer there. There was about 15 of us and we were in our own private room to conduct the session. Even with such a large group there was enough space and equipment that you were never waiting around and being held up by others. Michael was a great trainer, and was very interactive always providing assistance to the whole group about correct form, and explaining the exercises in great detail. I highly recommend this gym!

    Been coming to Visions for 6+ years. It has a great team and reasonably priced. They have really stepped things up since the renovation a couple of years ago. New equipments and a kitted-out boxing room. The team always makes me feel welcome and there is good banter to be had. That sure adds to my motivation to keep fit. Originally only used the gym but since have been a regular at the group sessions too, especially boxing. They are always good fun and make me push myself. Keep up the good work!

    Great gym in Hawthorn, been going there for the last few years. The gym is really well equipped with both cardio and lifting equipment. The team is always friendly. The membership is also good value for money - definitely one of the best gym in the area!

    I’ve been a local in Hawthorn for nearly 5 years now and when I was looking around for a gym Visions stood out on top for me. Such a welcoming team and a straight forward sign up procedure with no long lock in contracts that are hard to get out of. Their group training sessions have great variety from beginners to experienced and it’s all at a very competitive price. It’s all about the community at Visions and they make you feel part of the family.

    Love this gym! Staff are super friendly, great equipment, and they run fun yet challenging group fitness classes. Over 30+ years I've had memberships to the likes of FF, BFT, cross training gyms, and just about every franchise in between. IMO, local gyms like Visions Fitness Centre are by far the best as they're an important part the community and are more in touch with what locals want. Great job Michael, Brooke, Lachlan, and Glen!

    The first time I walked into Visions I was shocked and pleasantly surprised by how big the space is and the wide range of equipment. In case that wasn't enough, I've never been to a gym where the staff and other members genuinely treat you just like another mate in the group. Also love the great prices which isn't common in this industry! Love you ❤️

    Visions is amazing! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making it a great place for everyone. The atmosphere is like a friendly community that cheers you on. Plus, they offer awesome group trainings and classes that add a fun twist to your workout routine. If you want a simple place where people are nice, and you can feel good working out, Visions is the place to be!

    Great team, very professional and super friendly 😀. The installations are in great conditions and have all what's required for a good workout. I've certainly enjoyed my time at Visions and have seen lots of improvements.

    Great value for money for the HIIT/Strength classes and access to the gym floor. I've been a member of many gyms in the Hawthorn area over the last 10 years and Visions top tier! The classes have great energy and routines are always changing. Do recommend!

    Been coming here for just over a year now, 4 times a week and I cant imagine having to go somewhere else! The staff are always friendly and helpful if I have any questions, and will share suggestions for alternative workout setups which is a great benefit. The other members are all very friendly and respectful too and will share a smile and wave which I really appreciate, not something I considered when starting! The gym 'could' be considered on the smaller side but it rarely gets so busy you cant do your workout, worst Ive ever had was a few minutes wait and having to switch around the workout, and thats on 2 occassions to date. Ive had far worse experiences in larger gyms with multiples of machines. Its also not too noisey which is great. They have 99% of the equipment youd ever need, anything more specific than that you can use the free weights and accessories and ask the staff for a suggestion. Great space, solid staff and reasonable pricing and membership options (month to month). Id definitely recommend Visions! Its a great independent gym.

    Been going to Visions for a year now. The best gym in Hawthorn. The thing that stands out is the boxing area. Got plenty of puching bags and even gloves and pads. If you live around Hawthorn, this is the place for your fitness goals. Amazing team too 💯

    I've been with Visions for close to one year now, and have always had a great experience. Michael and Catherine have continued to assist with form, technique, and everything else in-between. Visions staff are approachable, genuinely care about helping, and are overall add to the positive inertia.

    Have been with Visions for just under a year now and have always had a great experience. Michael and Catherine have continued to assist with form and techniques while keeping it fun and exciting. Love being part of the community !

    I signed up to this gym about 6 months ago. At the time I asked them for personal training services. They suggested a PT at their gym and within their gym, but they said I would deal with the PT directly. I used his services for months and was very happy until one day the gym notified me that they had fired him. I had $270 worth of prepaid PT sessions in cash with this guy, and I tried to reach out for months to the PT after he was fired with no luck. I approached VF and tried to explain that in firing the PT, the gym had removed the ability for him to provide me with those services and so if the PT was noncontactable that even if there was no legal requirement, there is some kind of ethical responsibility in helping to resolve my issue. I felt that VF was very inadequate in their handling of the situation. They said that they spoke to him by email and that he had made a commitment to providing services in return and seemed to not care what happened beyond that. I sent two follow up emails to VF when I didn't hear from the PT after they stated he would be in touch, and VF never replied to either email. I was always polite in my attempts to chase this, I was never rude. Beyond the PT issue, I had other issues with the manager of the gym who often came across combative. Just one of multiple instances where I was made to feel belittled was the first day I forgot a hand towel when arriving at the gym (this was about 2.5 months into my membership so I was generally good at remembering). Michael's exact words to me because I was so shocked I couldn't forget it were "I don't know what Cade has told you about this gym, but here you need to use a hand towel". It was quite abrasive and rude towards his staff and to me, and I could never understand why he was blaming the PT for something that I had forgotten. It's a real shame because the facilities themselves are great, I had great workouts there with the PT. But if you remove the PT and the equipment (because most gyms have the same equipment) then I was just left with a sour experience over 6 months, with multiple emails about a reasonable issue never replied to, that left me no other choice but to seek a gym membership elsewhere.

    Wonderful equipment and facilities, amazing team, family owned. Great membership options too, feels good knowing I am part of a community where I am supporting a small family business and not in a lock in contract. The team are always super friendly, knowledgeable and actually care about you. 6/5 stars for Visions

    I started going to Visions since December 2021 and I love it. Such a good gym with excellent equipment and amazing staff! I’ve always felt very welcome and always have a great chat with staff and other people at the gym. The gym has a large variety of weights and areas for cardio, weights, and HIIT workouts too. I’ve signed up for group trainings and they’re are so fun! My favourite gym I’ve have been too 😍

  • 5/5 Luke B. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been going to the group training sessions for nearly two years and have loved every one of them. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and make the gym a welcome in place for everyone. It’s also great value for money.

  • 5/5 Meredith O. 2 years ago on Google
    Visions is a fantastic gym. It’s welcoming, the staff are super friendly, it offers all hours access and loads of equipment. It’s incredibly well priced, particularly for the area. It has an extremely positive vibe and feels like a second home.

    Cant recommend this place enough, great equipment, great staff friendly members. Lots of investment in recent years in upgrading facilities & equipment. Ive been in and out of gyms for the past 20 years and this really is one of the betters one around.

    I have used Visions as my gym for over a year and I can certainly say it has been a wonderful experience! The staff are super friendly and approachable if you ever need anything. The gym is well equipped with everything you need and enough space for everyone even during peak times. Perfect place to go if you live in the area!!
