Wellness Social Club

Wellness Social Club is a recovery and movement venue listed in Collingwood, Melbourne. Its website presents the club as a Preston destination for people who want to build more deliberate time around recovery, relaxation and physical wellbeing. The offering combines wet and dry recovery therapies with classes, rather than focusing on one style of treatment. Visitors can use the Wet Recovery Zone, with mineral contrast pools, Finnish sauna, private infrared saunas and a group sauna, or choose dry options including PEMF, BrainTap, Pulsetto, red light therapy and lymphatic compression. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and tailored IV infusions are also available, with the IV service involving a phone consultation.

A featured option is The Essential Reset, a 2.5-hour experience that brings together three parts of the club. Guests begin in the Dry Recovery Zone with either PEMF or compression therapy, move through the wet recovery area for contrast pools and sauna heat, and add a wellness class before or after. The website says the three elements can be used in one visit or spread across 30 days. For a gentler, class-led visit, the programme includes yoga, meditation, breathwork, Pilates and sound healing. Sessions are designed for different experience levels, with guidance and modifications available, and mats, props and cushions supplied in the studio.

The atmosphere is described as calm, welcoming and community-minded, with an emphasis on slowing down and feeling more grounded. BARE sessions combine Finnish sauna with hot and cold immersion in a self-guided, shared setting where presence and mutual respect are central. The club also runs special events such as Yin & Pins, pairing restorative Yin Yoga with acupuncture. Memberships provide access to the broader wellness and fitness services, with no lock-in contract and 30 days’ written notice to cancel; casual sessions and class packs are available as well. The venue’s app is used for viewing the timetable, booking, buying memberships or packs, and managing sessions.

The classes are shaped by a team with varied backgrounds. Teachers include Bron, whose practice draws on Yin, Hatha and Vinyasa training and experience in midwifery and fertility; Grace, who brings yoga teaching, running experience and training in Yin, meditation, prenatal and trauma-informed practice; and Keiko, a singing bowl therapist and meditation teacher focused on burnout prevention. Julia teaches through body awareness, mindfulness and breath, while Melinda Watkins combines Iyengar, vinyasa and yin foundations with her work as a qualified naturopath. With solo sessions, casual attendance, classes and shared recovery spaces, the club suits people looking for a structured reset, a regular wellness routine or a quieter way to move and recharge. It holds a 4.9 Google rating from 80 reviews.
