Refine Your Potential. Maximise Your Time
How You Train,
Reimagined.
The Refinery Studio, created for people who value their time, their health, and their results. Our semi-private, boutique gym strips away the noise, chaos, and inefficiency of traditional gyms and instead focuses solely on purposeful progress — turning raw effort into refined results.

The Refinery Studio began with an idea from founder and head coach Nathan Merlino – strip back everything that doesn’t lead to progress. After years in competitive boxing, powerlifting, and endurance training, he built a unique space shaped by experience and dedication, not trends.

What Our
Members Say.
This gym is truly the best gym experience I’ve ever had and I’ve been to many gyms. The team are incredibly supportive, the environment is aesthetically gorgeous, extremely clean and the facilities are amazing. I could not speak more highly of this place. I highly recommend.
– Petra
A premium gym with great facilities and a friendly community. I love the flexibility of booking and only paying for sessions I use.
– Luke
The Refinery Studio is the kind of gym we’ve been waiting for. With capped capacity, there are little to no wait times for equipment – perfect for anyone on a tight schedule who still wants an effective, uninterrupted workout without the crowds you find in commercial gyms. The space is clean, well-organised, and features some of the nicest and cleanest gym bathrooms I’ve ever seen. If you live or work in the Hills District, you must check out The Refinery Studio. It’s conveniently located next to HomeCo. Castle Hill. And if you’re looking to take your training to the next level, The Refinery Studio has some of the best personal trainers around.

“You can’t coach if you haven’t done it yourself.
That’s why every part of this space, from the programming to the platforms, is built on real, competitive experience.”
