Vision Fitness Brings Unique Health Club to Pearl River

Pearl River's Vision Sports Club's owners set out to create a unique health club, and the community has responded.

The club, which opened Feb. 20, 2008, boasts 4,200 members. With more than 200 pieces of strength training and cardio equipment, 100 group exercise classes, a Cardio Theatre, Youth Fit Zone, and Sports Zone, Vision Sports Club is a health club unlike any other. 

“I got a lot of positive feedback from members I know of Vision Sports Club," said club member Melissa Joos. "They talked highly about the equipment and trainers. It intrigued me, so I went to get a tour. It was very trendy and I thought I would enjoy a lot of the classes they have to offer, I signed up immediately.”

Members get a more detailed look at all of the activities available. The club offers a complimentary one-hour personal training session and an overview of the facility to new members. Membership fees range from $39 to $69 a month. 

“We want people to feel completely comfortable when they join. Not get here and ask, 'What do I do now?” said club general manager Kristan Montana.

One goal for the club owners, the Lagana family, was to create a family-friendly health club. The Youth Fit Zone is a big part of that. The Youth Fit Zone is designed for children ages eight to 15. It is a gym within a gym, which is fully staffed with coaches who guide kids during their workouts.

The Youth Fit Zone is just one of the special amenities that Vision offers for kids. The Future Vision Playroom is equipped with a flat screen television, computer station, and activities that include crafts. Parents are encouraged to drop their kids off and go enjoy their workout. During the summer, Vision offers a Fit Camp. It is a nine-week summer day camp that keeps kids active by playing sports and other games and doing group exercises.

Vision also offers a wide range of classes for their adult members. Popular classes include Zumba, which is a dance class, and Body Pump, which is a combined cardio and strength class. Personal training programs are offered that are individualized for your needs. There is also a spin studio and a serenity studio where yoga and Pilate’s classes take place.

The Sports Performance Academy and the Vision Sports Zone are two other amenities that make this gym unique. The Sports Performance Academy trains athletes to better their speed and agility. The Sports Zone has five batting cages and includes pitching tunnels. Local high school and college teams rent it out for practices.

To thank members Vision offers a fitRewards program. It is a member appreciation program that allows members to win prizes. They get points every time they participate in certain activities and usage of the club. Prizes include watches, gym bags, and even a Sony Camcorder.

“Vision is the nicest gym I have ever belonged to. I’m not just a number, they treat me like a friend,” said club member Kirk Vega, a member.

Vision also sponsors special events as a way to support the community and connect with current and potential members.  Hours of operation are Monday to Thursday from 4:30am to 11:00pm, Friday from 4:30am to 10:00pm, Saturday from 6:00am to 6:00pm, and Sunday 6:00am to 4:00pm.

This inviting facility offers an array of classes and special amenities that ensure everyone will get the workout they want.
