Modern Vision gives you the tools you need to make healthy lifestyle changes. It's not just a gym, it's a community of people who support one another.

Dallin Schoen

Modern vision is the greatest gym. I’ve tried many different ones and this one just feels like home. It is a family. The classes are amazing and make staying in shape fun! This place deserves more than 5 stars!

Lynn Hadley

I’ve joined many gym in the past and this one is by far the best one out there. It has that little something that I didn’t find elsewhere...I find that I belong here. The owners ( Blayne and Chris) truly have their clients best interest at heart. It’s not just a gym, I also consider it my other family. If you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you waiting for? Perhaps you should join the next challenge! ????

I have now been involved in this company for long enough to give a real review. If your looking for results, than this is the place to be. The MMA is fantastic in every way! The gym portion is a better atmosphere than most everywhere I have been. But the real benefit of being at this gym is the results you will achieve. A professor of MMA is results driven, and this carries over to the fitness training as well. If you want results, then this place is for you. If your looking for a less disciplined and more play based work out that will gradually move you toward your goals, then the MMA is fantastic for that. However, if you don’t think self defense is a cool skill to have, then maybe look into cross-fit?

Donna Cutting

Chris and Blayne are such wonderful people and they run an awesome gym. The experience at Modern Vision goes way beyond a simple work out, they care about your physical and mental well being and offer various materials/classes/dialogue to support the healthy growth of both. Highly recommend this gym to all, littles included!

Teresa Haydon

Great community and support system to achieve your wellness goals.

Gabbie Tavani

Modern Vision is the best gym I've been to. The owners are awesome people who motivates their clients. They want to see you succeed. Awesome gym, awesome people, awesome atmosphere all around. I'd honestly would give it 100 stars if I could.

Ray Pomerleau

Awesome gym! The service here is like no other. Blayne and Chris are one of a kind trainers who take care of each and everyone. The weight loss programs work! They treat everyone like family!

Watch out! High pressure sales and uncompromising instructors. Prices are bad and owners are rude once they realize the obvious sales tactics aren't charming you. There are better places to learn BJJ in Welland ????

If you're looking for a challenge with support every step of the way, the 6 week challenge is the answer! I’m on my 6th week of the challenge and I plan to crush it! I feel strength and endurance in my body that I never had before and the results prove it :) I have learned to eat healthier and awareness to what I am putting in my body and how to balance my nutritional intake. Chris and Blayne take the time to get to know every member, are passionate and dedicated about helping people to reach their goals and provide a family fitness environment. Joining the 6-week challenge was the best decision I ever made! I have always had gym memberships but I needed the group classes, personal training support to keep me motivated and to make me accountable for my fitness goals. The hardest part was getting myself to the gym on time ????????

Sarah Villarreal

This place is awesome. It has a very strong support system, and family like feel to it. They have something there for everyone...martial arts, a gym, and classes. I recommend Modern Vision to anyone who needs a little push to get you started and to stay in routine. Love this place.

Jacob Golding

Been working out here for a couple months now and it’s the first real gym I’ve ever used. The owners really care about the gym and there patrons and for the most part this means the patrons care back; overall this means a lot of nice people to workout alongside. Plus it’s 24/7.

Ken Chudzik

I just started bringing my boys and so far so good

Andrew Dean

Our whole family is a member of Modern Vision. We can't say enough great things about the place. The ownership and teaching staff are top notch. They care about the childrens enjoyment and well being. It's not the type of place that just hands out belts for participation either, you have to earn every stripe and belt. Our 6 year old daughter has also been doing MMA one on one private classes with Andrew. Andrew is a phenomenal mentor, and my daughter has a lot of respect for him. She enjoys her sessions with him immensely, and our membership there is worth every penny. If you're looking for a welcoming family environment that caters to all members of your family and classes that are actually fun and rewarding, I highly recommend.

Will Dobbin

Been training here for almost 8 years and loving it!

Peggy Cote

Awesome people to set goals with. They keep you on track and motivated to do your best. I would recomend them to anyone. Very clean and a great atmosphere

Tracy Lapointe

My son has gained a lot of confidence and pride in himself I have also had great experience with my class trainers are friendly and helpful come try it out you will have great time

Christina Bellon

I found Modern Vision MMA through a friend that had great success with their 6 week challenge. I decided to check it out. From the moment I walked through the door I was welcomed by everyone. I didnt know what to expect at all but decided to join the 6 week challenge. Now keep in mind I feel like I've done every diet, work out and gimmick out there. This program is none of that. This is sustainable! I finally feel like I've found the right balance. No restrictions on foods, no weird prepackaged foods, no exercise equipment to buy or books, containers, etc. You do the work and eat well all with the help and encouragement from not only the Owner's Chris and Blayne, but their staff and all the other clients. It's truly a family at Modern Vision MMA and for the first time ever, I know this is sustainable for me. (I was literally brought to tears when telling Chris and Blayne that this is what I'd been looking for my whole life, no more diets or gimmicks.)

John Auberton

Awesome facility. It really is the people who make it members and Coaches. I love the Jiu-Jitsu and Martial Arts classes and clean and well equipped 24 hour gym. My wife did the 6 week challenge in their Bootcamp and it changed her life. I am eternally greatful. Thank you Chris, Blayne and Andrew. Great family atmosphere

David Fournier

Great people and they go above and beyond and care about your progress!!

Jeff Stortz

This place is more then a gym to me its family been goin to modern vision gym for 11+years now. They're great with kids as young as 4. They know what they are doing from martial arts to excerciseing and even weight loss. So if you want a great gym this is the one 5 stars all day long come join the family

Alicia Crowe

Modern Vision is so much more than just your typical gym. It offers a sense of community with support from the other members and the owners Blayne and Chris. As someone who has been to countless gyms with zero success, I cannot express enough the motivation that is provided! They know every member personally and take so much pride in their work. It’s not just the physical achievements but the mental growth that comes from being a part of this strong community!

ardemesa88

Fantastic full feature facility with several programs composed of striking and grappling martial arts, various fitness programs both group and private, weights and machines, and clean lockers and showers. Best part is the staff of coaches and instructors that love, support, and push me and my family to reach our goals. Me and my boys (age 42, 12, and 10) attend several classes a week and receive not just a physical workout, but a mental one as well. They keep you accountable to become a black belt in all aspects of life, building character and confidence in and outside of the gym. Proud of my boys’ development witnessing the impact in their lives when it comes to home and school life, in addition to the behavior and dedication in the gym. Can’t say enough about Professor Chris, Sensei Blayne, Coach Mata, Sensei Andrew, Instructor Megan, and students in their instructor program that are role models for the children (and adults!). I am so grateful for their hard work and dedication in uplifting the lives of others.

Becky Kalbfleisch

If you're serious about results - this is the place to go! Chris and Blayne genuinely care about every member, and are passionate about helping people to reach their goals. Amazing, supportive, encouraging, and positive fitness community. Joining the 6-week challenge was the best decision that I have ever made for myself. For years, I have been trying to be healthier. I've tried fad diets, random fitness classes, and have tossed money away at gym memberships that I never used. This program is different - it teaches you how to live a healthier lifestyle, and Chris, Blayne, and the whole fitness community won't let you give up on yourself. It's worth the investment to actually see and feel results!

The best in the business right here. If you want top notch training this is the place to be. We started our son 6 months ago when he was having trouble with confidence, discipline and lacked in his schooling. Since his enrolment, he’s finished school with way better grades and his all around attitude and character have changed. If my son was to write this review I’m sure he would tell you how much fun and enjoyable Modern Vision is. Thanks Chris and Blayne and all the instructors for the countless hours you give to these kids!

Pam Mcilhone

I’ve never been a gym person but decided to join their 6 week challenge and am loving this place. Tons of classes with variety and various times and levels to suit everyone. I love it here…in 4 weeks I’ve lost 7 lbs, inches from my waist, hips and knocked my body fat percentage down. The support given by Chris, Blayne & Emily are what makes this challenge and this gym successful. Best part of it all…we all encourage, challenge and support one another...it’s a community and become like a family to me. So thrilled I joined!

Abell Acaster

Thank you kindly for helping us!

tera cook

Fantastic gym, great workouts and amazing owners! Chris and Blayne really care about your progress and help you to tailor the workouts and nutrition according to your weight loss goals. Best “gym” I’ve been too and wonderful members ????

April Torkos

Have supported and guided me to reach my goals in fitness and diet/nutrition. I have learned so much in a very short period of time with results... which they continue to motivate me to evolve and challenge myself. Truly inspirational experience that I want to remain a part of my daily life. Love working out with everybody!!! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!! 5 stars not enough!! Thank you Chris and Blayne!

Writing a review for both the Gym and the Martial Arts program @ Modern Vision MMA. I’ve been training with Modern Vision since October and I thought it’d be time to write a review. Professor Chris and Sensei Blayne (and all of the coaches and staff) are fantastic instructors. They take a very personal approach to training. At the academy (Carlson Gracie BJJ & MMA) they focus on personal growth and development rather than just who’s the toughest. An all inclusive place where everyone’s welcome. From my first day of training they’ve worked with me to meet my goals, and are proud WITH me when I’ve achieved them. I’ve also felt like not only a member of Team Ascension, but a member of a bigger family. I couldn’t recommend a better place to train.

Boozeman Buzzy

Awesome facility and place to work out Six-week bootcamp challenge is awesome. After struggling with chronic lower back pain for yrs, feeling great relief after 6wk bootcamp.

Best gym experience I've ever had and I've been to a ton of gyms. The personalized family atmosphere you get here is par to none! Blayne and Chris are absolutely incredible!! Highly recommended!!

Jennifer Taylor

My daughter started here a few months ago and has been an incredible experience. Sensei Blayne and Andrew are attentive to the kids, they give great guidance, direction and are incredibly patient and kind with the kids, not only teaching them Jiu Jitsu but also developing good character (discipline, teamwork, respect) with one another. Also, the way the kids support and help each other is like nothing I have seen. My daughter struggles with her speech and previously was shy and lacked confidence. So, it was especially important to me to find an activity where she could not only make friendships; but also build strength in these areas, and what I’ve witnessed in a few short months exceeded my expectations. She’s come a long way since first starting, her pride and confidence has improved, but what’s most impressive is that although it can be difficult to understand her at times, she doesn’t let that stop her and will be the first to raise her hand to answer questions, help others to be successful or to welcome a new student. She’s beginning to shine and show true leadership skills all thanks to what she’s learning here. If you want your kids to learn while gaining valuable skills such as physical/mental toughness, sportsmanship (e.g. win and lose graciously), respect, confidence a positive attitude both at home, school and the community...this is the place to go. Modern Vision Mixed Martial Arts truly is a family atmosphere, their team are highly skilled, with a heart for people and teaching...When I asked my daughter to give me one word to describe what Modern Vision means to her, she says: AMAZING!

Dawn Fidler

Our family has been attending classes at Modern Vision now for over a year. My son who is 10 has come leaps and bounds from when we first started the program. He has a confidence that was not there before and has made some amazing friends. Modern Vision has had such an amazing and positive impact in our lives and continues to with every class that we attend. Chris, Blayne and all the instructors are very dedicated not only to our family but many others. We love coming to a place where we feel welcomed, loved, appreciated and have a sense of belonging. Blayne has sat with me personally many times to help my son achieve his goals and review his progress. Modern Vision is an amazing facility and they truly care about each and every one of their students and families!

Kemp Maria

Great place!, Blayne and Chris are super supportive and are great instructors

Shimpei Adachi

Absolutely best place to learn Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and MMA. If you commit yourself into it, the staff are there to push you to reach your goal. If you are only into lifting, the gym is open 24/7.

Paulette Culliford

My husband and I love it here and the people we have gotten to know through joining the classes .... awesome feeling knowing that we are getting better fit

Jenn S.

Not being satisfied with myself, I decided to join the 6 week challenge at modern vision. Not having any gym experience I didn't know what to expect. It was hard, but with the help of Emily I was able to complete the challenge losing weight, inches and fat!! Thank you to Chris, Blayne, Emily and all the other challengers for helping me stay on track to reaching my goals!

Tara S

During these hard and trying times there have been a lot of changes for families and businesses. In response to the state of emergency, Modern Vision made "online" classes available. While this option may be great for the very serious MMA athlete, it is not great for someone who has signed up as a recreational sport. I have repeatedly made Modern Vision aware that my son will not be able to participate in the so called "online" classes and that I expect no further payment to be withrawn from my account. They totally disregarded my requests and continued to withdraw funds for April AND May even though my son is not able to participate in the online classes. It is very disappointing that Modern Vision only sees dollar signs and does not respect the needs of an individual.

victoria bonato

Amazing place! Clean, friendly staff, great owners! You won't get a better facility that Modern Vision!

Andrea Hill

This is an amazing environment to be in . I have watched my son (now 11) grow so much as a person over the last 6 years. I can't even begin to thank Chris, Blayne, and all of the instructors at Modern Vision. They strive to help these kids reach their goals on the journey to becoming a black belt. They are so caring and attentive. Always raising the bar to challenge people. My son always looks forward to the next goal and works very hard to do so. I recommend Modern Vision MMA to everyone. Such great structure and teamwork .
