Transform Active 24 hour gym

Transform Active is a 24-hour gym in Mullumbimby, in the Byron Bay region, built around a broader idea of fitness and wellbeing. Members have access to the gym seven days a week, with the flexibility to train at any time, while staff are available during set weekday and Saturday periods for tours, introductions and help getting started. Locals can also enquire about a free trial.

The facility combines Technogym equipment with 21 group classes, personal training and movement coaching. The timetable includes Pilates, Pilates Barre, slow flow and Vinyasa yoga, Combat Cardio, Body Bar and Zumba Tone, giving members options beyond standard gym-floor training. There is also an infrared Sunlighten Sauna, along with a dance studio, an outdoor training area and upstairs floor space for workouts. The website describes the gym as spacious, clean and well maintained, with showers and enough equipment variety to reduce waiting between sets.

Its setting and tone are a key part of the appeal. Transform Active describes itself as a down-to-earth country gym surrounded by farmland and the mountains of Mullumbimby, while its community focus comes through in the emphasis on supportive trainers, approachable staff and an inclusive environment. Feedback featured on the site highlights a welcoming atmosphere for different ages and experience levels, as well as friendly fellow members and a positive training environment. That makes it a practical choice for people who may feel uncomfortable in more intimidating gyms, as well as for regular gym-goers wanting classes and additional recovery facilities.

Transform Active was established in August 2023 as the next stage of Transform Fitness, the local gym founded by Gabe Connell in 2011. The venue was created to move that original shed-gym community into a larger facility and broaden its services across the Northern Rivers. Gym Manager Laura Hosking leads the day-to-day operation, drawing on experience in dance, personal training and nutrition. The wider team includes in-house Personal Trainer and Movement Coach Anthony Clarke, Pilates instructor Jenna Kenny, yoga instructor Ella Sol and class instructors Eliana Alvarez and Cinta Gare. With its combination of flexible access, structured classes and personal guidance, it suits solo members starting a fitness routine, experienced trainers, and locals looking for a community-minded place to work on strength, movement and general wellbeing.
