The Forged Difference
FORGED® is home to two leading independent gyms in Thurgoona and Lavington, built to give everyday people a more supportive, focused and genuinely welcoming place to train.
Our Thurgoona Studio is our quieter, less crowded space, offering a more relaxed gym environment, tailored coaching, classes and access to full spectrum infrared sauna facilities.
Our Fitness Factory location in Lavington is our larger, strength-focused space, built for heavier training, muscle building and members who want a more serious gym environment.
Across both locations, FORGED® offers quality equipment, real support and a community-focused experience for beginners through to advanced lifters.
What Sets
Forged Apart
FORGED isn't part of a chain. It's been designed and built from the ground up by Allan and Sophie, two people who have done most of the heavy lifting themselves, literally.
After more than 15 years living, working and building their lives in the Albury Wodonga region, Sophie and Allan saw an opportunity to build something different. They wanted a gym that felt more personal, more supportive and had more considered equipment choices than the standard 24/7 model. So they created FORGED, a local gym built around the kind of experience they believed the region deserved.
