The Commons Health Club Lands in South Yarra

At a time when wellness spaces can feel clinical or cold, The Commons Health Club brings something far more alluring to South Yarra. Spanning more than 5,000 square metres across health club and coworking spaces, this design-led destination folds movement, recovery, work and community into one beautifully considered address. There are reformer and hot mat Pilates classes, yoga, strength training and sound healing, plus a bathhouse with magnesium baths, a cold plunge, sauna and steam room.

Add a street-front cafe, Maison Margiela fragrance bar and Dyson styling stations, and suddenly your post-gym era looks considerably more glamorous.

Opens this Saturday 28th March 2026

KIC Studio, Cremorne

Expanding from an online platform into a bricks-and-mortar wellness space, KIC Studio is set to open in Cremorne on Saturday, 18th of April 2026. The space is set to offer an Australian-first movement experience, grounded in pilates, yoga, resistance and breathwork. Founders, Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw wanted to bring a brand-new movement experience to their community, saying their classes are “designed to support your nervous system and mindfully raise your heart rate, leaving you feeling restored and deeply connected with yourself”.

Offering a range of classes, from ‘Unwind’ to ‘Power’, whether you’re in the mood for a heated, relaxing session or a more high-intensity workout, there’s something on the timetable for every vibe. Considering how well-loved the KIC platform has become among their dedicated community, we have no doubt this is going to be another success story.

Is South Melbourne the New Epicenter of Wellness?


else BATHHOUSE, South Melbourne

Carved into the bones of a century-old building in South Melbourne’s historic Emerald Hill, else BATHHOUSE will soon open as a sanctuary devoted to the timeless ritual of bathing. Across three light-filled levels, preserved brickwork, timber beams and original murals will frame a contemporary space where design and stillness meet. Thermal and cold baths will lead into saunas, steam and mud rooms, and an alpine-style cabin, before ascending to Sky Bathing — open-air rooftop pools with sweeping views of the city.

Shaped by local designers and guided by global bathing traditions from Roman thermae to Japanese onsen, else will invite guests to rediscover the beauty of slowing down. The first in a series of planned destinations, it promises a refined expression of renewal, where heritage and modernity meet, and the art of bathing finds new life in Melbourne’s skyline.

Opening April 2026

SAINT Black Private Social Club

For those who like their wellness with a sharper edge, SAINT Black brings a members-only take to South Melbourne. Spanning three levels, the private club folds together high-performance training, recovery spaces, co-working and after-dark social energy, with a rooftop pool, sauna, ice baths and yoga all part of the mix. It is less day spa, more high-gloss private club, but for the right crowd, that is precisely the appeal.

Trinity Curated Wellness

Housed within Thomson House, Trinity Curated Wellness is South Melbourne’s sanctuary of ritual and restoration. Founded by Trinity Scarf, it’s where ancient healing aligns with modern science, framed by soft light and quiet luxury. The hot-cold therapy circuit reawakens the senses, the LED lounge delivers an inner glow, and the sun-lit studio invites mindful movement. Reiki, kinesiology and functional medicine unfold as deeply personal experiences, guided by a dedicated wellness concierge. Every detail feels intentional, every visit transformative. Step inside, exhale, and let time stretch — at Trinity, wellness isn’t a pursuit, it’s a practice.

EQ

EQ

Hidden inside The Eighth in South Melbourne, EQ Wellbeing feels like a smarter answer to modern burnout. Its signature three-hour journey moves through guided breathwork, sensory light-and-sound immersion, and a beautifully composed bathhouse of hot mineral spa, Finnish sauna, aromatherapy steam, and cold plunge, all designed to steady the nervous system and clear mental static. Newer offerings, including Move & Bathe, Fire & Ice and a sharply timed 45-minute bathhouse reset, make the experience feel even more relevant to the pace of city life.

Restorative, polished and genuinely memorable, this is wellness with a stronger pulse.

Tender

Tender is Brunswick’s answer to wellness with a little more edge, a studio where movement meets deep listening. Come for yoga classes in an acoustically treated space, then return on (most) Thursday nights for Tender’s Deep Listening sessions, a calm, phone-off reset built around a Pitt & Giblin sound system. Tea and filtered water are on hand, alcohol is off the table, and the whole place feels beautifully considered, from the entrance down the laneway to the last note.

Beyond Rest

When the city starts to feel a little too loud, Beyond Rest is where to disappear for an hour. Float therapy is the hero here, offering a near-weightless reset that leaves you feeling clearer, softer and strangely reassembled by the end. Depending on the location, you can add infrared sauna or contrast therapy to the ritual, which only sharpens the appeal. With studios in Prahran, Collingwood, Hawthorn East and Moonee Ponds, it is the kind of wellness address that makes stillness feel less aspirational and far more chic.

Multiple locations in Melbourne

Inner Studio Prahran

Inner Studio

For anyone craving a reset that feels equal parts restorative and cool, Inner Studio is one of Melbourne’s strongest addresses. The Collingwood original now has a South Yarra counterpart, with guided breathwork and movement classes, a traditional sauna, hot and cold plunges, and a fireside lounge for stretching out the afterglow. It is wellness with a little more atmosphere and a lot more intent.

And soon, a new location in Highett will bring this restorative ritual to more Melburnians.

THERAPY

Wellness just found its new capital… and it’s in Eltham. THERAPY has officially opened its doors, unveiling a 5,000-square-metre sanctuary that fuses cutting-edge science with soulful design. This is wellness on a grand, deeply personal scale — cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, IV drips, gut health optimisation, and nervous system resets, all beginning with a bespoke Brain–Body Diagnostic.

Beyond the treatment rooms lies THERAPY Kitchen, a sunlit cafe where biohacking meets brunch — think adaptogenic elixirs, gut-loving dishes and antioxidant-rich olive oil rituals. With filtered air, Vitamin C showers, and a calendar of workshops and wellness circles, THERAPY redefines what it means to feel well in Australia — luxurious, connected, and entirely transformative.

The Commons Health Club, Richmond

The Commons, Australia’s leading premium coworking brand, officially entered its wellness era in Richmond in November 2025, with a vast design-led health club at 33 Cremorne Street marking the beginning of what is set to become one of Melbourne’s largest social wellness destinations. Set across more than 5,000 square metres of health club and coworking space, it brings together an expansive gym, 200-plus weekly classes, a luxe bathhouse, recovery treatments, Commons Coffee and workspace access under one polished roof.

Even better, its South Yarra counterpart is about to join it, expanding the concept into an inner-city two-step.

33 Cremorne Street, Richmond

Sona Rooms

Set inside a Victorian terrace in Prahran, Sona Rooms is a deeply calming place to reset. The experience is private by design, with infrared and traditional saunas, a cold plunge for contrast therapy, red light therapy, and the AirPod Hydroxy oxygen treatment all unfolding in softly lit, self-contained rooms. Afterwards, there is time to settle into the lounge with herbal tea and let the pace of the day fall away. For anyone craving restoration with a little more privacy and polish, this one is worth knowing.

42 Clifton Street, Prahran

SOAK Bathhouse

SOAK Bathhouse has brought a more social take on wellness to South Yarra, pairing sleek timber interiors and calming neutrals with a strong line-up of hydrothermal experiences. There are open-air hot pools, a cold plunge, Finnish cedar sauna, steam room and infrared sauna, alongside 90-minute bathing sessions and longer massage treatments for those wanting to stay a little longer. Whether you drop in solo or make an afternoon of it with friends, it is a polished new addition to Melbourne’s wellness scene that makes slowing down feel especially appealing.

10 River Street, South Yarra

Wellness Social Club

Wellness Social Club has brought a more social, design-conscious take on recovery to Preston. Open since June 2025 at 6 Plenty Road, the all-in-one space pairs Finnish and infrared saunas, hot and cold plunge pools, group fitness and yin yoga with a more tech-led menu of full-body red light therapy, compression, BrainTap, Pulsetto vagus nerve stimulation and PEMF. It is the sort of place where you can drop in for contrast therapy with a friend, then stay longer for breathwork, sound healing or a slower reset in the lounge.

Sauna Goose

Hidden down a leafy Northcote laneway, Sauna Goose brings a more playful mood to Melbourne’s wellness scene. The Danish-style sauna, handcrafted from recycled timber, sets the tone, followed by an icy plunge and a slow return to yourself by the fire pit beneath fairy lights. There are guided aromatherapy sessions, seasonal gatherings and even nude life drawing in the steam, giving the whole place a sense of ritual without taking itself too seriously.

Gadd Street, Northcote

HUB Wellness Group

Some places know exactly how to shift the mood of a day. HUB Wellness Group in East Keilor does it with thoughtful facials, reformer Pilates, expert massage, infrared sauna and lymphatic treatments that leave you feeling lighter on the way out than you did walking in. The experience is calm, considered and genuinely restorative, offering a more holistic approach to wellness that feels easy to fold into real life.

5 Centreway, Keilor East 

Saint Haven

There are wellness clubs, and then there is Saint Haven. Conceived by Tim Gurner, this private Collingwood and South Yarra retreat approaches wellbeing with rare precision and a strong sense of beauty. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, red light treatments and spaces for complete stillness sit side by side, each designed to sharpen the body and settle the mind. Phones are put away. Silence is protected. Even that feels luxurious now.

What elevates it further is the calibre of the community: high performers, founders and creatives who treat health less as routine, more as ritual. Saint Haven is exclusive, yes, but never hollow. Every detail feels considered, every experience finely tuned.

Wildsoul Wellness

At Wildsoul Wellness, Pilates is only the beginning. This Mordialloc studio combines reformer, mat classes and yoga with contrast therapy, infrared sauna, compression boots, red light therapy and naturopathy for a reset that feels genuinely comprehensive. If time allows, book the contrast session, which moves through sauna, cold plunge and hot plunge with gentle guidance throughout. There is tea on hand, a lovely sense of calm, and every reason to turn one class into a longer afternoon.

Meraki

Meraki brings a deeply holistic approach to wellness in Clifton Hill, with treatments that draw on Eastern herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage and energy healing. There is a thoughtful focus on women’s health, from fertility and pre-conception through to pregnancy, alongside offerings such as Reiki, Chinese herbal therapy, spinal energetics, cupping and cosmetic acupuncture. The result is a space that feels nurturing without losing its sense of expertise, and one that leaves a lasting impression long after the appointment ends.

Recovery Lab
Recovery Lab

Recovery Lab

Recovery Lab makes high-performance recovery feel far more accessible than its name might suggest. Open to anyone, not just athletes, the Melbourne space is built around treatments that help tired bodies feel better faster, from ice baths and infrared saunas to compression boots, massage guns and muscle stimulation technology. There is also NuCalm for stress relief and nervous system support, making it just as useful for overstretched minds as it is for post-workout legs. For those wanting to take recovery more seriously, this is a smart place to begin.

Multiple locations across Melbourne

The Breath Haus

The Breath Haus

The Breath Haus offers a gentler path back to yourself, with classes designed to steady the mind and strengthen the body in equal measure. Breathwork sessions invite you in exactly as you are, guiding you towards a deeper sense of calm, release and clarity. For something slower, the 60-minute yin flows hold each pose long enough to work into the body’s deeper layers, easing tension and encouraging energy to move more freely. Thoughtful, grounding and beautifully paced, it is a space that leaves you feeling softer, lighter and far more connected.
