The Forged Difference

FORGED® is Thurgoona and Lavington's leading independent 24/7 gym community, created to give everyday people a more supportive, focused, and genuinely welcoming place to train.

Our Thurgoona studio is our quieter, less crowded space, designed for members who want a more relaxed gym environment, tailored coaching, recovery support, and access to our full spectrum infrared sauna facilities.

Our FORGED Fitness Factory on Hudson Crescent, Lavington, is home to our heavier equipment, built for strength training, muscle building, and lifters who want a more serious training space.

Across both locations, FORGED® supports your goals in a welcoming, non intimidating environment while still challenging advanced lifters with quality equipment, real support, and a community focused experience.

THE FORGED DIFFERENCE

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.

Having lived, studied, worked, and grown in the region for over 15 years, they saw the lack of real support and variety of equipment options, and they were tired of it being overlooked by the big chains. So they built the gym they wished existed.

No, FORGED is not just for bodybuilders.
Our Thurgoona Studio is a great fit for everyday training, beginners, general fitness, cardio, strength training, and anyone who wants a quieter and more welcoming space to train.
Our Lavington Fitness Factory does have the heavier and more specialised equipment that bodybuilders, powerlifters, and serious lifters often look for, but it is still open to anyone who wants to train in that style of environment.
