Our Community

A club before a building.

La Grange is being built from the ground up, starting with the people who'll train in it. Here's the story, the values and every step of the build.

The story

Why La Grange

Most gyms feel like waiting rooms with mirrors. La Grange is the opposite: a green, sunlit barn with the soul of a Cuban boxing gym, where people train hard, swim, help each other and hang around after the session.

The plan is simple: build one great club in Byron Bay, prove it works, then take the same standards to other coastal, surf and mountain towns.

Values

What we stand for

Three words on the wall, and the way we'll run the club.

Train hard

Purpose over mirrors

Real coaching, real progress, whatever your level. Technique first, intensity always.

Recover well

Look after the body

Mobility, Reformer, sauna and ice: recovery is part of training, not an afterthought.

Belong somewhere

People first

A place where you know names, share the juice bar and turn up for each other.

Where we're at

We'll keep this page honest and up to date.

  1. Done

    Concept & brand

    The training zones, the pool, the pods, the juice bar and the jungle-barn identity.

  2. Now

    Founders list

    Building the founding community in and around Byron Bay.

  3. Next

    Venue search

    A site in Byron Bay with room for the gym, a pool and pods, checking zoning, accommodation rules, safety, noise and lease terms.

  4. Then

    Founding offers & build

    Founding spots open with full terms, then the fit-out: bags, ring, turf, Reformers, recovery, pool, pods and juice bar.

The crew

Coaches wanted

Boxing, MMA, HYROX, Reformer coaches in the Byron area: if you want to help shape a club from day one, we'd love to talk.

Coming soon · Crowdfunding campaign

Equip the club

The founding offers will be sold through an all-or-nothing crowdfunding campaign. Smaller rewards will let anyone chip in for something concrete: heavy bags, the ring, the mats or the juice bar.

Rewards we're planning

  • Official La Grange T-shirt
  • A pack of classes at opening
  • Invitation to the founders' event
  • Your name on the founders' wall
  • Drinks or merch packs

What it will fund

  • Heavy bags
  • Tatami mats
  • Functional equipment
  • Juice bar equipment

Good to know

All or nothing: if the goal isn't reached, the platform refunds everyone. The campaign will run on a platform suited to Australia, with its terms clearly stated.

The vision

One name, many towns

Same brand, same coaching standards, adapted to each place. One profitable club first, then the same method elsewhere.

  • Byron Bay
  • Brisbane
  • Toronto
  • Montréal
  • Bali
  • Da Nang
  • Brazil
  • The Alps

Future destinations are ideas, not commitments. Each city will get its own market study and budget.
