More Compound fitouts stand in Victoria than in any state outside Queensland. Richmond, Braybrook, Hawthorn, Mordialloc, Armadale and up to Falls Creek.
Melbourne gym owners have been sending us to each other for years. The result is a spread of Compound fitouts across the city, from strength gyms in Richmond and Braybrook to studios in Hawthorn and Armadale, and out to Torquay and the Falls Creek alpine village.
Three bands cover most of the gyms we fit out. The numbers are equipment, flooring and installation together, and they hold across Australia. The full breakdown is in the 2026 fitout cost guide.

What it buys
Boutique studio
150 to 250 m²
$80,000 to $150,000
Rig or racks, a functional zone, a short pin-loaded line, flooring and turf.
Mid-size commercial
300 to 500 m²
$150,000 to $280,000
Full pin and plate-loaded strength floor, cardio deck, free weights, flooring throughout.
A 300 to 500 m² 24/7 or coached gym in a Melbourne industrial unit typically lands between $150,000 and $280,000 for equipment, flooring and install, freight included.
That buys a full pin-loaded and plate-loaded strength floor, cardio deck, functional turf, benches and free weights, and rubber flooring throughout.
Melbourne strength gyms often add a second plate-loaded line later, the way Derrimut Braybrook did, so we design the first layout with that expansion in mind.

Melbourne fitouts run from about $60,000 for a compact studio to $500,000+ for a large facility, interstate freight included. A 150 to 250 m² boutique studio usually lands between $80,000 and $150,000, and a 300 to 500 m² gym between $150,000 and $280,000. Our 2026 commercial gym fitout cost guide has the detail, and the calculators below size your own plan.
Yes. Equipment ships interstate from our Queensland warehouses to Melbourne metro and regional Victoria, and our own crew installs it. Recent Victorian installs include Richmond, Braybrook, Hawthorn, Mordialloc, Armadale, Torquay and Falls Creek.
Design takes a week or two. Allow for interstate freight after sign-off, then a mid-size install is typically a few days on site. Custom branded equipment and custom turf carry their own production lead times, confirmed at quote.
Melbourne 24/7 gyms run some of the highest volumes in the country. Compound equipment uses Japanese bearings and American-made cables and pulleys so it holds up. Read why the equipment is built to last.
