I travel for work and visit many gyms and this is one of the best I've ever visited. I highly recommend a visit. Rather than day passes I paid £20 for a week which is an excellent deal. A top tier gym with a fantastic range of Hammerstrength equipment (plate loaded and resistance). This gym is huge and caters for all areas of lifting, body building and fitness. They also have a small range of supplements. The gym is 12 years old and well used but the equipment is clearly very well maintained! It was busy but I didn't have to wait long for machines... there are also just multiple options if you're happy to switch up your program/workout.

Best equipped gym I’ve been to in Newcastle and even at prime time there was plenty of space and machines/benches available. All equipment is great quality and gym has a great atmosphere.

c. g.

A good friendly gym eith decent and plenty of equipment.

S. V.

Probably the best gym in Newcastle! Fairly priced and they have every equipment you need. Only one thing that I'm not really fan of is the music, which is often so incredibly loud that I can hear it through my own headphones even when my own music is set to max volume. Front desk turns it down a notch every time requested though but generally the music could be less loud by default :)

C. T.

Good range of hammer strength equipment. Large floor space. Little bit on the dark side with lights. Reception fine. Plenty of drinks on offer.

c.

Easily the best lifting gym I've ever been in. I can't believe how much equipment there is.

I. M.

Best gym I've been to in a long time, cheapest around too, old school feel with every piece of equipment going! Classes, cardio, weights, boxing, mma, the list goes on, fantastic!

F. C.

Best gym I've been to in years! Staff are friendly and helpful and make the effort to get to know their customers by name. The classes are mint, really good mix of different sessions from pilates to boxing to spin. The gym itself is clean and tidy. Theres great gym etiquette where everyone puts back the weights etc, wipes machinery down and looks out for one another. As a woman it's not intimidating, theres lots of other women working out and using the weights and machinery too, it feels very inclusive and welcoming. I cannot fault this place 10/10!

Fab gym. Great environment, helpful staff and friendly members. Value for money 💰 5*

This is easily the best gym I`ve ever visited. Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful and the range of equipment is amazing. Brand new Eleiko kit and more machines than you could ever ask for. You wont find a more reasonably priced gym in the North East, however bring headphones as the playlist selection tends to be awful.

L. T.

Good gym, huge selection of hammer strength plate loaded and stack machines. A massive amount of free weight plates and dumbbells, which go up to 60k. Good Changing room and toilet facilities. Only negative is that it can get extremely busy at peak times, even with the vast array of machinery and space. However this is to be expected as this is a testament to the popularity of the gym due to the above and the exceptional value for money. Definitely one of the best gyms in the North East, having been a former bodybuilder I have trained in quite a few so have decent judgment on such things.

T. G.

A major flaw of this gym is fascinatingly the choice of music, music is an important aspect for most if not all clients who train at a gym. Even so as a minimum it is expected that an appropriate genre of music is played during business hours. Unfortunately this is not the case at Vision, playlists are not consistent and vary depending on reception staff whilst the most inappropriate genre appears to be rock… The last you would expect as a bodybuilder when you’re squatting 200kg + is for ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ by Wheatus to start playing; it gives you American Diner vibes if anything and It feels as though the music is not being played for the clients but to suit the staff’s music taste instead. In conclusion I kindly request that you establish an appropriate gym playlist which is more suitable for workout, and when you have finally done so please turn the volume up - too quiet. Apart from that, overall this is a cracking gym very well equipped and well facilitated with sanitisation stations all across the floor.

Great gym all you will ever need under one roof

S. P.

Returned to VHF for the range of equipment and convenient membership options. Great powerlifting area and new strongman area. There are plenty of wipes for machines and the toilets are clean, the rest of the gym is a bit grotty. Chalk handprints on the walls, chalk all over the lifting platform and squat rack, the bag shelves smelled like sweaty shoes and half of the sanitiser dispensers were empty. Perhaps I have high standards but even pre covid I would find the poor cleanliness off-putting.

c. w.

Overall, this is a great gym, it’s got great kit for both weightlifting and powerlifting and a ton of machines. However, I do have a few issues: there are only men’s 20kg weightlifting bars, there’s no women’s bar. They do however, have a 10kg technique bar, which can only have 40kg loaded onto it. This means that any female that uses 50kg+ for their lifts has to use a men’s bar. This is problematic because the circumference of the bar is much thicker, meaning that for females (as we typically have smaller hands) actually using a men’s bar is extremely hard if not impossible (especially for the snatch). Although they have another 15kg bar, this is not a high level Eleiko bar (like the men’s; there’s 2!) and is extremely old and has extremely poor knurling. Expecting females to use this bar when the men have 2 high level eleiko bars is sexist. This issue has been raised with management previously, too. This gym takes pride in their accommodation to several different sports (weightlifting, powerlifting, CrossFit, boxing and bodybuilding), yet falls short in a few areas. For example, there is no PVC pipe. PVC pipes are crucial to mobility and technique work in Olympic weightlifting and when asked if I could bring in my own, was told that I couldn’t because of insurance purposes- which doesn’t make much sense considering the fact that people bring in their own resistance bands which are probably more of a hazard than a pipe that weighs about 500g. When this was brought up to a member of staff, they tried to tell me that PVC pipes aren’t necessary and that it ‘wouldn’t give me a real feel for the Olympic lifts as they are so light’- which every Olympic lifter knows is absolute nonsense-to be honest, I felt as though the member of staff was mansplaining this when in fact, it’s just not correct. Additionally, the powerlifting area has 4 wooden platforms, which isn’t needed and is in fact a detriment to performance due to its grip and width. The sole purpose of these platforms is for Olympic weightlifting yet the weightlifting area only has one platform (which is raised from the floor slightly meaning that people are lifting from a very small deficit). These things have all been raised previously with management. These flaws are a real shame because if these issues were sorted, this gym would be ace.

Outstanding gym. Fantastic staff and amazing array of equipment and, during a global pandemic, probably the safest place on earth! Totally care for their members, spending a fortune on antibacterial products for use during a workout.

A. W.

As members gyms go this is the mecca. The investment these guys have put into the community is phenomenal. Top specialized brands such as Eleiko which are used in the very top personal training gyms around the world can be seen here. It's my go-to every time I return home to visit. Top gym, top trainers and great staff.

C. J.

Honestly - probably the best gym in the whole of Newcastle & Gateshead. I've trained at a LOT of gym's and nothing come's close. From the quality of equipment, to the price of only £19.99 p/m. It can't be beaten on value.

T. W.

Been going to this gym for over 2 years, staff are brilliant and haven't been to a better gym in all my years in Newcastle. Also dead handy getting access to both their Swalwell and Cramlington facilities. The owner and staff are constantly looking at ways to improve and upgrade the gym as well, which is refreshing.

B. B.

So much better value than 'Better' gyms. Big selection of free weights (up to 60kg I've seen), loads of bench, a massive range of plate loading machines which are great quality - solid hammer strength ones. Plenty of cardio equipment. There's stacks of other things too numerous to mention!

M. V.

For the price, this is hands down the best gym I've been to in the North East. So much amazing equipment and free weights to choose from!

Z. J.

Best gym ive been to so far in newcastle. Extensive selection of equipment and space. Loads of free weights, loads of plate loaded machines, Cardio equipment and other stuff. Does get airless and warm at peak times, not sure if there is aircon or not. Showers arent particularly good - no ventilation in room, 1 often out of use.

P. L.

Very good equipment, decent size, monthly payments are reasonable I just wish single session was a bit better priced.

R. M.

Great facility. Lots of equipment. Go to place for proper workout.

C. W.

Vision has to be the best gym in the northeast, they are always upgrading things I would recommend anyone call in and have a look around. I promise you will not be disappointed.

A. D.

Great gym. Always good music on and plenty of machines to go around for everybody. Only draw back is it does get really busy on the evenings.

M. L.

Everything you could want from a gym and always get on what you want. The staff are great but not pushy and its only 15.00 a month. Not for those wanting posh and sauna as it's more basic and get on with it.

A. C.

Excellent kit, great variety and plenty classes on to keep everyone happy. Does get busy around 4.30-7pm week days but nice and quiet at other times. Only £15 a month, bargain. Watch out for peak hour parking...can be a pain!

K. S.
