Overview
Whether you hot desk from time to time or get down to daily business as a freelancer, you probably know The Commons for its thoughtfully designed coworking setups. However, the brand has taken a slightly different direction in recent times, combining forward-thinking office spaces with feel-good health clubs. Making its debut in Richmond in November 2025, The Commons Health Club is quickly expanding, with the upcoming launch of a second location in South Yarra.
Scheduled to swing open the doors on Saturday, March 28, this new location is set to become the largest social wellness club in Melbourne's inner city. Designed in collaboration with DesignOffice — the practice behind the original Richmond location — members can expect eight levels of considered design. Featuring an attractive palette of cork, timber and concrete, five levels are dedicated to the health club, while three more make up the workspaces.

"We're incredibly proud of this next chapter for The Commons," says Cliff Ho, Co-Founder and CEO of The Commons. "The Health Club is an extension of our belief that people thrive when they feel connected, supported and energised. This space brings together movement, recovery and community in a way that supports every part of daily life and it's been inspiring to see so many members already embracing it."
Spanning 5000 square metres, The Commons Health Club South Yarra will feature an expansive gym floor with natural light on all sides. Home to 200 weekly classes, you can smash through some spreadsheets, then sweat it up during reformer pilates, a mindful yoga session or a spin class. Plus, the schedule will feature speciality classes, like candlelit yin, Yamuna body rolling, sound healing, breathwork and more.

Recovery will also be a major focus once this health club opens. Think longevity treatments such as red light therapy, lymphatic compression and infrared saunas. Then, delve into a kitted-out bathhouse, headlined by magnesium baths, a cold plunge, a traditional sauna, a steam room and heated stone benches. What's more, signature bathhouse experiences will include candlelit magnesium soaks alongside a selection of community-led rituals.
This being your office, there are also serious amenities for post-work or -workout touch-ups. You'll encounter Dyson and GHD styling stations, as well as a seasonal fragrance bar with four unisex scents, currently delivered in collaboration with Maison Margiela. Alongside Kevin Murphy haircare, private laundry services, cold eucalyptus towels and a dedicated wellness concierge, South Yarra's The Commons Health Club is primed for all things work, movement and recovery.
