THE WELL: NEW BEAUTIFUL WELLNESS CLUB
THE WELL
Has the New Year inspired you to find a better life balance, get a healthier body, mind, and spirit? Join the club! There’s a beautiful new club that feels you. The Well is a brand new private members club based on the concept of “360-degree wellness.”
Wellness is a trend that has been building for the past decade, as so many of us struggle with life overload, digital demands, and even the social challenges of loneliness, largely due to digital isolation. Now, social wellness is a thing.
The Well is cutting edge, but it isn’t the first wellness club idea. It stands on the shoulders of predecessors such as Grace Belgravia and Mortimer House in London and Club W, in Sydney, as well as Rise by We, HealHaus, and Assemblage, in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Each has its own unique flavor.
Opening in early 2019, The Well club members can check their digital devices at the door, then can hang out while sipping super-nutrient packed juices vs country club scotch and sodas.

The Well members can access beautifully designed and appointed yoga studios, meditation studios, private training studios, a dry sauna, steam room, and laconium, co-ed relaxation spaces, treatment rooms and juice bars -- all under one beautiful roof, in a tranquil 13,000-square-foot, two-floor space at the edge of Manhattan’s Union Square.

The Well combines Western and Eastern medicine and fitness approaches, offering a science-backed ecosystem for wellness. The staff includes 30 licensed practitioners, including massage therapists, reflexologists, physical therapists, and sports doctors.
Top wellness guru Deepak Chopra, leading hotelier Barry Sternlicht, and sports medicine doctor to the stars Keith Pyne, are each advisors to The Well. Preeminent integrative medicine expert Dr. Frank Lipman leads the Scientific Advisory board.

So if you’ve feeling overworked, need to unwind, and recharge, you might look into reinvesting in yourself with a wellness club membership. There are still a few founding membership slots available, by invitation only. Eventually, the club will service 2,000 members.

Stay tuned for more social wellness clubs coming soon, including a new Six Senses membership club scheduled to open in New York in 2020.
