Taneesa Williamson A new era of community-based health & wellness.
Entrepreneur Tim Gurner’s Gurner Group has unveiled the highly anticipated SAINT Private Social Club on Wellington Street, St Kilda. This is the newest addition to Gurner’s suite of luxury private clubs, joining Melbourne’s two sold-out Saint Haven Private Clubs.
A holistic lifestyle destination
SAINT offers an array of experiences tailored to a youthful mindset. From an organic wholefoods restaurant to adaptogenic cocktails for unwinding on a Friday night, members can fuel their bodies, relax, and foster community connections. The club features diverse spaces, including a co-working area, a state-of-the-art Boxing Studio programmed by Olympian Harry Garside, and a serene Breathwork Studio for moments of mindfulness.
The club complements the refined elegance of Saint Haven by offering a more dynamic and sensorial experience. Vibrant, empowering, and meticulously designed, SAINT aims to provide extraordinary spaces where members can socialise, challenge their limits, and rejuvenate.
Immersive design
Head of Gurner Group Interior Design, Simon Brugaletta, has developed SAINT’s unique ‘White’ (relaxation) and ‘Black’ (peak performance) themes. Members begin their journey in ‘The Portal,’ a sensory cube that allows them to select their desired experience. Choosing ‘White’ immerses them in a calming atmosphere, while ‘Black’ ignites energy for high-performance workouts.
White Level (Ground Floor):
- Organic wholefoods restaurant and bar
- Co-working and boardroom spaces
- Zen Recovery Studio with reverse-aging technology
- Fire & Ice breathwork studio featuring infrared saunas and cold plunges
Black Level (Basement):
- High-energy co-working and lounge areas
- World-class gym floor and boxing ring
- The Arena: a HIIT studio with LED screens and curated music
- Dedicated studios for strength, Pilates, yoga, and meditation
Wellness meets social
SAINT celebrates a growing trend of replacing late-night outings with early-morning workouts and mindful gatherings. Members can enjoy alcohol-free days with nourishing meals or indulge in organic cocktails and plant-based mood enhancers during Friday and Saturday socials. The club’s design balances moments of rest and recovery with high-energy training, catering to every aspect of modern wellness.
Founder Tim Gurner envisions SAINT as more than a fitness and social club. “We’ve created SAINT to help people escape life’s stresses and connect with those who share their values. It’s a place where members can challenge themselves and live their ultimate lives in an ultra-luxury environment.”
With the Australian wellness and health services industry valued at $200 billion and projected to grow, Gurner Group aims to establish 20-25 SAINT clubs globally by 2030.
Exclusive Membership
Membership at SAINT is by referral and subject to approval by a committee, ensuring a curated community. Founding members include Collingwood AFL players Josh and Nick Daicos, former Olympic pole vaulter Amy Pejkovic, and social media influencers Phoebe Chakar and Tessa Bona.
