Wellness Social Club
Signalling a new era of wellness and community, this luxe space in Melbourne's inner north offers saunas, a cold plunge, and even a hyperbaric chamber.
Overview
Opening its doors in June 2025, Wellness Social Club is a beautiful space that combines state-of-the-art technology and more traditional modalities with a communal — dare we say, a social — approach to wellness. Whether you're stopping in for a spot of yoga and contrast water therapy with mates, or channelling your inner biohacker with a session in the in-house hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the venue offers a wide range of services and treatments designed to help you recharge and reconnect.
There's a fair bit packed into this labyrinthine space, but thanks to a considered design featuring clean lines, soft archways, ambient lighting, and earthy tones and textures, it never feels cramped, but instead invites you to slow down.
"Think of it as a health club meets a high-end lounge," says Co-Founder Tamara O'Dowd, who developed the concept alongside her son Ayman O'Dowd and business partner Ben Gunning over three years. "We wanted to create a place that doesn't just look after your physical health but supports your emotional and social wellbeing too. It's a place to unwind, catch up with a friend, and reset — all in one visit."
There's an impressive range of services available here. In addition to traditional and infrared saunas and magnesium-infused hot and cold plunge pools, you'll also find full-body red-light therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, lymphatic compression therapy, BrainTap tech featuring advanced neurostimulation technology and a medical-grade hyperbaric chamber that supplies you with 100 percent oxygen.
More of a wellness lover than a biohacker? Wellness Social Club offers yin yoga, breathwork, IV vitamin drips and sound healing for those looking to dive into inner healing.
