FORGED Fitness | Thurgoona & Lavington Gym

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.

Yes. We now run group strength classes at the FORGED Fitness Studio.
Our Studio classes are built around the main lifts, including squats, bench press and deadlifts, with accessory work and cardio included. They are designed to help members build confidence, improve technique and add more structure to their weekly training.
Please check the class timetable for all current class times, days and availability.
We are also working on bringing group fitness classes to the FORGED Fitness Factory soon, including sessions that suit the larger space and training style of the Factory.
Studio classes are included for eligible Studio members and Fitness Passport members with a FORGED access fob.

Personal training and custom programs are also available if you need extra guidance, structure or support.
No, we don’t run free trials. Instead, you can purchase a casual session to experience the gyms.

If you decide to join after that session, we’ll remove the casual amount from your joining fee on the day.

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.
