About

Vision Quest has been a part of Binbrook’s community for 6 years, building a love of fitness and martial arts with families and martial arts enthusiasts, alike. Whether you’re 5 years old or 65 years old, we have a class that will help you feel great, inside and out.

Vision Quest was started by Josh Hill & Scott Macovi, as two fighters looking to create a gym that allowed them a space to train and help others to develop and refine their passion for martial arts. Through their love of the sport, they have helped many into the fight ring, to compete. Their enthusiasm did not stop at training adults, they also developed a kids program called the Little Lions. In this program, kids from the ages of 5-12, learn the different forms of martial arts, while helping them to gain self confidence, discipline and a love of MMA.

In 2022 Vision Quest ventured into a new era. Joel Boyd, a partner of Vision Quest became the sole owner of Binbrook's only MMA gym. Joel and his family are excited to continue on with Josh and Scott's vision, and to expand on it, with new classes, schedule and membership options.

Come out and try a class. You'll love the workout and the people!

  • Melissa

    Melissa is a Wife and Mom of 3 amazing young boys.

    After having her 3rd child, the saying “get healthy” really resonated, finding herself about 90lbs over weight, and not feeling the greatest mentally or physically, that’s wasn’t the role model she wanted for her family.

    She decided to join the gym & fell in love with the community it brings. She started making healthier food choices and exercising regularly. Before long she began to see the results she was looking for. Not just scale victories, but non-scale, as well. Feeling stronger, with more mind clarity and more energy, she started to feel like herself again!

    So that’s when Melissa took her love for fitness to the next level & became a Certified group fitness, Zumba fitness, Strong Nation instructor and Pound Pro, so she could help others see their full potential. Not just in fitness, but in life.

    Melissa’s goal is to help her clients reach their goals. By creating a safe, fun and effective environment to help educate people about the benefits of group fitness classes. She helps clients maintain a routine that is beneficial for the wellbeing of themselves and their community.
