The Commons made its name on beautiful co-working, then asked why the gym could not look as good. Its first health club answers the question across five thousand square metres of South Yarra, designed by DesignOffice with the same restraint that made the desks worth sitting at. There is a magnesium bathhouse and a sauna for the recovery end. Reformer, strength and around two hundred classes a week for the effort end. The idea is that you step out of a morning meeting and into an evening soak without changing postcodes. Movement, recovery, work and a social life stacked under one very considered roof. Fitness that finally understands design. It should not have taken this long.
