Overview
Settling into a wellness experience shouldn't be a special reward; it should form part of your routine that keeps you feeling at your best. Now that EQ — South Melbourne's preventative wellbeing sanctuary — has been up and running since May 2024, they're introducing foundation memberships to make its mindful encounters a daily reality.
EQ is jam-packed with holistic activities, offering everything from a hammam and saunas to a rain room, ice-cold plunge pools and a light and sound therapy dome. Meanwhile, its best-known experience, Signature Journey, is intended to foster a complete nervous system reset through a guided three-hour transformation.
"Anyone can reset and feel rested once, but true transformation happens when you have the tools and structure to reset again and again and again — when you know exactly which tool to lean on, and when," says EQ Co-Founder and Director, Mia Basic. "We've launched memberships to make nervous system care a ritual, not a once-off treat."
Alongside the full spectrum of bathhouse experiences, EQ hosts immersive breathwork sessions and movement-based classes like yoga and pilates. Plus, EQ Live offers a steady program of in-person workshops and events that deepen practice and connection. With two tiers of memberships up for grabs, dealing with daily stresses becomes much easier.
Priced at $75 per week, the Foundation Silver Membership includes unlimited access to EQ's bathhouse, dome, breathwork and studio classes, while providing 50 percent off EQ Live sessions. Yet relaxation fanatics can upgrade to the Foundation Gold Membership for $105 per week, gaining unlimited access to all EQ experiences.
"We believe wellbeing should be designed into people's lives, not left as an afterthought. These memberships are about making that possible at scale. They give our community the chance to integrate critical wellbeing practices into their day-to-day — to feel calm, energised and in control as a baseline, not a nice-to-have," says Basic.
EQ is open Tuesday–Sunday from 8am–8pm at 5/22 Kings Pl, South Melbourne. Head to the website for more information.
