About us

More than just a space

A design-led home for therapists, practitioners and small businesses in Garforth - built on community, not just four walls.

Our story

Why we created The Wellness Lounge Leeds

As a three-generation family business rooted in Leeds, we know how much your business means to you - because we've built our own. We looked around at the other salon and treatment-room rental options, and none were exactly right - often you'd have to rent a space for a whole month when you only needed it two or three days a week.

When it comes to renting space to help your business thrive, there aren't many options that tick all the boxes while also actively building a community of like-minded business owners - with workshops, networking and group sessions, and business growth at heart.

  • Salon rooms and 'chair rental' - often in busy hair studios or competitive salons.
  • Basic offices - a desk, a chair and a filing cabinet.
  • Co-working spaces - just a desk in a shared room.
  • Village halls - great for large classes, but they can lack the warmth of a cosier, design-led space.

The Wellness Lounge Leeds brings together a range of high-end, deliberately designed spaces for therapists, independent practitioners, small business owners, groups and individuals who want to be part of something exciting - rooms you can rent for as little as one day a week, with the important details taken care of, so you can focus on looking after your clients.

We also have a dedicated room for students transitioning from education and training into entrepreneurship. Supporting the next generation of business owners matters deeply to us.

  • Rent from 1 day a week
  • All bills included
  • Design-led community space
  • A room for students

Our vision

Where we're headed

To be allowed to buy the building, we had to write a compelling bid explaining our vision for the premises. So it has never just been a commercial project for our family - it's always been about how we can help others.

In fact, it's not JUST anything.

  • We're not JUST another beauty salon.
  • We're not JUST another basic office.
  • We're not JUST a yoga studio.

The Wellness Lounge Leeds brings together spaces that can be made to work for you - giving you options and choices, putting you in control, and giving you more time to focus on your clients rather than worry about your premises.

We want to be the place to be when you want your practice, business, group or enterprise to thrive - somewhere positive energy, shared ambition, business support and community come together.
