STRONG - Essendon North (VIC)

Nicky Davidson The group classes are great. All the trainers are amazing and bring their own strengths. As a team Vision Blakehurst is a supportive, friendly and positive environment. I love the fact that mental wellbeing is equally as important as physical.

Daisy H DFO is always fun for a bargain hunt! The Adidas outlet was a standout with some seriously good discounts, scored some great gear for way less than usual. Worth popping in if you’re nearby.

Josh Guest If I had to put a word to this place, its wholesome. Its the first proper 24/7 gym Ive allowed myself to train consistently at and Ive never felt more confident about myself in body and mind since doing so. Workouts are only apart of the happiness I find here. To me, the community, nature and freedom is also an integral part to why I come. All the wishes Ive received have been of such a positive nature and this kindness has allowed me to realise my self worth and that I am worthy of good things in my life. Especially the people older than me, many I have befriended because of their authenticity and advice. In loud or unspoken forms, we all root for each others success and progress. In my opinion, this community is a harmonious place that allows individuals to work towards the aspects of health, wealth, love and perfect self expression; the square of life. The more you give here in conviction and kindness, the more positive things you find to receive. Owners Ricky and Teagan are very embracive of their community and run classes with trainers around school weeks. Although I havent participated myself, I observe people leave from boxing, yoga, pilates, etc, all with positive feelings and the same people always return. Id recommend anyone to try out or find someone to buddy up with if its intimidating. The machine and non-machine equipment is well chosen and offers many different forms of hypertrophy exercises to target all muscle groups, not to mention cardio machines too. Im always learning new things as I go and experiment here and there with new exercises to change muscle stimulation. Additionally, the place is always very clean and the owners are always receptive on how to make the place better. Theres also massages and therapy treatment here available upstairs along with a kids room for couples to use. If theres anything I recommend, its to come here and not be afraid, no matter your age, the way you look, feel or how much you lift. This gym isnt about ego, comparison or status. Its about your transformation towards a healthy body and mind. Its about building the expectancy you have in yourself to thrive and prosper. The community will back you from day one if you allow it and youll find it rewarding to be curious. They say gym is a second home and Im no indifferent to that feeling here. To Ricky, Teagan, and the community, thank you for being apart of my transformation and lets continue our transformation to a better life ❤️

Maria Camacho Ava is a kind, insightful and effective therapist. With her mix of methods and gentle practice I had a breakthrough treatment with life lasting results. If you see her at her studio, it’s an even greater gift. The surrounds full of trees, and the calm setting with warm tea and candles is delightful. I fully recommend Ava to anyone looking for transformative treatment.
