I have been training at the Vision gym for just over a 1 year. I have never belonged to a gym before this. I still look forward to the group classes I attend as well as my personal training session. It is a very good environment amongst staff and clients. Clients are more women than men, and I am amazed at the effort everyone puts into their sessions. It makes you want to work harder. It is a very small gym so you get to know the regulars pretty quickly.

Training Approach – wholistic, sympathetic, patient. I discussed options upfront and decided to focus on training and not diet, staff have supported my decision and it has not been raised again – there is no nagging or pressure. I have really appreciated the attitude of the staff. The Brighton Vision team have given every opportunity to get information (seminars and online Vision site). I have not used either and am still happy with the service.

Payment – EFT DD, Credit Card, EFTPOS; I pay 9+ weeks at a time by EFTPOS. I did not want to pay Direct Debit fees (approx $2 per week) or Credit Card surcharge 2.5%. DD was Vision's preferred approach but have had no issues with PAYG model, and again the team at Brighton have not pressured me in any way to move to any other payment method.

PT Sessions (Missed) – No problem. I've missed sessions due to holidays and sick days and have always been able to put my training on hold whilst I am away. Standard practice is to be offered a catch-up PT sessions in a subsequent week. Vision is keen to offer catch up sessions rather than suspend or extend the membership. I have found staff helpful. For longer absences I have put my training on hold for that period and resume as normal once I return.

I recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get started in a friendly environment or even push themselves past a sticking point on their fitness journey.
