WHY FORGED
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, beginner-friendly space, designed for people who want a more relaxed and supportive gym environment. It offers tailored coaching, small group classes, a carefully selected range of equipment and access to our full spectrum infrared sauna facilities. It’s a great fit for anyone who wants to build confidence, train without feeling intimidated and have a little more support along the way.
Our Fitness Factory location in Lavington is our larger, strength-focused space, built for those who train hard and want a more serious gym environment without the BS. With a huge range of premium, hand-picked strength equipment, more space to train and machines you won’t find anywhere else in Albury-Wodonga, the Factory is made for people who want variety, progression and a gym that takes training seriously.
Across both locations, FORGED® offers thoughtfully selected equipment, genuine support and a community that welcomes everyone, from complete beginners through to experienced and advanced lifters. Two very different spaces, both built around helping you find the gym that actually feels right for you.

LOCALLY OWNED
INDEPENDENT
BY DESIGN.
FORGED isn't a franchise, and there's no head office somewhere else deciding what our gyms should look like, what equipment we should buy or how we should run them.
FORGED has been built from the ground up by Allan and Sophie. We're local, independent and in our gyms every day. We train here, work here, talk to our members and see first-hand what works, what doesn't and what people actually want from their gym.
DECISIONS ARE MADE HERE
We don't have to wait for approval from a corporate office. If something can make the gyms better, we can actually do something about it.
WE CHOOSE WHAT GOES IN
Equipment, services, supplements and training essentials are selected because we believe they add value, not because a franchise agreement tells us what we have to stock.
WE BUILD AROUND OUR MEMBERS
We build FORGED around the people who actually use it, and we always will. We listen to our members, we adapt as our community changes, and we keep improving the gyms based on what people actually need and want from the space.
No franchise playbook. No corporate head office. Just two local gyms being built around the people who actually use them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STUDIO AND THE FACTORY?
The Studio in Thurgoona is our quieter, more relaxed and beginner-friendly space. It offers cardio, strength and machine equipment, small group circuit classes and access to our private infrared sauna facilities.
The Factory in Lavington is our larger, strength-focused gym with more space, heavier training options, boxing and a much larger range of hand-picked strength equipment.
You can choose a membership for one location, or choose All Access and train across both.
DO I GET 24/7 ACCESS?
The Thurgoona Studio is open 24/7 for members.
The Fitness Factory currently has member access from 4:00am to 11:00pm.
If you have All Access, you can use the Studio 24/7 and the Factory during its current member access hours.
CAN I TRY THE GYM BEFORE I JOIN?
We don't offer free trials, but casual gym visits are available for $15 during staffed hours.
If you decide to join following your session, we'll apply the $15 towards your joining fee.
You're also welcome to come in during staffed hours and have a look around before deciding.
DO YOU ACCEPT FITNESS PASSPORT?
Yes. Fitness Passport is accepted at both FORGED locations.
A one-off $19 FORGED access fob fee applies when you first activate your access with us.
Fitness Passport members can also attend eligible Studio classes. Factory boxing is booked and paid for separately.
DO YOU HAVE CLASSES?
Yes. The Studio runs our beginner-friendly Circuit Pump classes, while the Factory runs coached boxing sessions.
Studio classes are included for eligible Studio members and Fitness Passport members with a FORGED access fob. Factory boxing has an additional session cost and requires booking.
DO I HAVE TO LOCK INTO A LONG CONTRACT?
No. We offer Flexi memberships with no minimum term, which can be cancelled with 7 days' notice.
If you want a lower weekly rate, we also offer a 3-month membership. After the initial three months, it continues on flexible terms.
Paid-in-full membership options are also available.
