This luxe wellness space in Sydney's CBD is levelling up self-care (and socialising) in the city
Sydney's CBD is levelling up. Recently, Martin Place rebranded as – well – a place, uniting cultural institutions, restaurants and bars under a new precinct: MP District. And if you're on the hunt for rest and recovery instead of drinks and dancing, we've got just the spot. In the heart of Sydney's CBD, steps from Martin Place, you'll find RCVRI: a super high-spec wellness space on a mission to redefine self-care. 'Whether you're a high-performing athlete or a CEO, everyone just wants to be the best version of themselves,' explains Annabel Cheeseman, manager of RCVRI Martin Place. The huge new wellness zone is the fourth outpost of Coogee-born wellness brand RCVRI (pronounced 'recovery'), which aims to boost mental and physical health through cutting-edge technologies. The Coogee outpost launched in 2019, with Manly and Cronulla sites opening four years later. Now, the flagship site has opened its doors in the heart of the city, and it's a space for social connection as well as self-care. 'The city is losing its third place. People don't want to drink as much, but they don't know where to go when they're not drinking,' Annabel tells me — and she's got a point. Social saunas and bathhouses are booming right now in Sydney, but RCVRI offers so much more than contrast therapy and a place to connect. Alongside the four saunas (they vary in size — one fits up to 16 people, and the two semi-private saunas fit two people each) and four plunge pools, you'll find two hyperbaric chambers (specialised enclosures believed to speed up cell renewal, heal torn tendons and fractures, help with concussion, and improve sleep and focus) and 10 sets of Normatec boots (lymphatic drainage boots that help improve circulation and speed up muscle recovery). Memberships, casual passes and group bookings are all available to book over here. Keen to get involved while it's cold outside? The Ultimate Intro Offer will score you two weeks of access for $99. These are the best spas in Sydney These are the best spas in the Blue Mountains.

The Nike x Hyperice Hyperboots Will Give You a Heated Foot Massage While You Walk
Everybody loves a good foot massage. As an avid runner with plantar fasciitis, I often need a good foot massage. So when I heard about the Nike x Hyperice collaboration to develop a shoe with compression and heating capabilities built in, I was eager to learn more. The Hyperboots feature the same air compression technology as the beloved-by-runners-everywhere Hyperice Normatec boots ($899). The only downside to the Normatec boots are the fact that you have to chill out and remain horizontal while you wear them (which, maybe isn't exactly a downside, but it still means you can't multitask much during your recovery period). With the Hyperboots, you can enjoy the same squeezing and releasing sensation around your feet and ankles while you go about your life. Thanks to Nike's input, you can wear something that looks more like a sleek, modern sneaker than a recovery device. Retro Appeal Photograph: Kristin Canning Photograph: Kristin Canning The first time I tried on—and turned on—the Hyperboots, I was immediately giddy. There's something very exciting about a shoe with extras built in. It reminded me of Heelys and the popular light-up tennis shoes of my '90s youth. When you turn them on by pressing a power button on the inside of the heel, the shoe automatically inflates to offer a better fit and some mild compression. The compression portion covers the mid-foot at the top and sides, the sides and back of the heel, and the ankle. I got small Hyperboots (they come in small, medium, large, XL, and XXL) and they were too big for my size-8 feet, but turning on the shoe made comfortable enough to walk around in them without my foot slipping around. From there, you have the option to adjust the level of compression and heat, with three settings each, and you can press a play button to start an active air-compression massage. The boots sync settings when you have them both on. The air filling up the ankle wrap and releasing does make a droning noise, almost like an airplane flying overhead—nothing too obnoxious. You can charge them up with the two USB-C cords and wall charger they come with, and the charge lasts for up to an hour and a half. The massage and heat felt wonderful while I did chores around the house. I noticed the plush foam soles and their rocker bottoms, which helped propel me forward with little effort. The forefoot and heel provide grippy traction. The shoes don't offer much in terms of arch support, so I wouldn't recommend walking far in them if you have high, fussy arches like me (without adding some inserts), but they were comfortable enough all the times I wore them. The upper feels extremely durable, and even with the built-in tech, they can handle splashes and rain (though they aren't fully waterproof). I liked the highest compression setting for my feet, but that setting felt like a bit much around my ankles when I was walking. The top of the ankle wrap dug in a bit when I moved, but it wasn't uncomfortable if I was sitting. The massage runs for 20 minutes, and you can just press play again to start over if your dogs need some more TLC. The heat settings go all the way up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, which was way too hot for me—I found the lowest setting of 111 degrees to be plenty to feel therapeutic. Post Workout Photograph: Kristin Canning After trying the shoes around the house, I was excited to use them after an activity that was harder on my feet. I put them on after a long day snowboarding where I racked up over 13,000 feet of vert, and I was able to drive home through the mountains while my feet warmed up and got a relaxing massage—incredible. The boots flushed out the lactic acid that had built up in my feet and ankles from all the maneuvering they were doing inside my bindings, and I was able to keep the massage going after I got home and while I did laundry and dishes.
