The hottest luxury and A List news

Theres Soho House for creatives looking to network poolside, The Wing for women who want a female-friendly work environment complete with millennial pink decor, and now, The Well, for fitness aficionados who dont want to part with their athleisure.

The Well opened in September in Flatiron and provides members with 360 wellness- workouts, nutritionists and a healthy restaurant out front. Think part co-working space, part luxury gym.

The top floor houses a restaurant and cafe that will be open to the public, along with a small boutique. Downstairs, theres a room covered in plants that looks like a hipster millennials dream apartment.

The plants are thriving, which could be because a plant whisperer sings to them (you'll wish you could bring a plant whisperer home to your sad looking succulents.)

The culinary team then collects herbs from the plant wall to use in teas and food.

Theres also a space for reflexology, rooms for boutique fitness classes, a private gym, a meditation dome, a spa, and a locker room thats a world away from the typical New York City gym offering, complete with Dyson hair dryers and brand new, clean products.

The concept was created by Rebecca Parekh, who was previously the COO for Deepak Chopra. Her co-founders are Kane Sarhan, who previously worked with the fitness-friendly 1 Hotels, and Sarrah Hallock, who was a marketing executive for vitaminwater, Bai and WTRMLN WTR.

Members pay $375 a month for all of the wellness offerings, including book launches, mindful movement classes and monthly one-on-one health coaching. Theres a team of 10 practitioners creating programs and 50 practitioners in total, including massage therapists, vibrational energy healers, and acupuncturists.

Members meet with their health coach to determine their 'path' and then check in with them once a monthas part of their membership. Members are then given a movement and mobility assessment, so class instructors know what type of injuries to look out for, making the classes completely personalized.

It's certainly a cut above a salad at your desk, andThe Well's centrally located space makes it easy to pop in and take a class, get a massage, or simply pick up a juice during your lunch break instead.
