Vision Personal Training marks 25 years of operations

Vision Personal Training has this celebrated 25 years of operations, taking franchisees and friends on a Sydney Harbour cruise to mark a quarter-century of fitness, community and innovation.

Founded by Andrew Simmons, the group has grown to become the largest personal training franchise studio business in Australia with a network of 400 trainers delivering personal training sessions in over 50 studio locations around Sydney, Wollongong, the Gold Coast and Melbourne, along with New Zealand.

During that time franchise founder and Managing Director Simmons has become an acknowledged industry leader having been inducted into the Fitness Australia Roll of Honour in 2013 before going on to be a board member for Fitness Australia (now AUSactive) from 2025 to 2017.

Vision PT’s accolades include being voted Emerging Franchise of the Year for NSW/ACT in 2008 and being awarded as National Personal Training Business of the Year in 2003 and 2010.

In an industry known for a high churn of personal trainers, Vision PT has effected an average of four times the trainer life span across the gym network.
