"Drawing from my experience as a former professional athlete and sports scientist, I intimately comprehend the pivotal role recuperation plays in achieving peak performance. Yet, a robust recovery programme transcends the boundaries of athletic pursuits,” shares Diana Kraemer, Co-founder and Wellness Director of REKOOP.
“In today’s contemporary landscape, the demands of modern life exerts a toll on individuals both physically and mentally, particularly in this region, where the expectation for high performance persists around the clock. REKOOP was conceived with a vision to serve as a sanctuary for everyone seeking to reclaim energy, restore balance, and unlock their full potential, regardless of their background or fitness level," she adds.
"Our inspiration draws from the inherent beauty of natural elements and a deep understanding of how cohesive, serene spaces profoundly impact individuals. The objective was to seamlessly blend luxury with therapeutic elements, envisaging a sanctuary where each aspect significantly contributes to cultivating an atmosphere of tranquility and wellness. Ultimately, REKOOP was conceived to redefine the optimal environment for healing the body, mind, and spirit,” points out Elliot Barratt of Elliot James Interiors, the interior design firm responsible for REKOOP’s thoughtful space.
"REKOOP stands as the natural choice for individuals looking to cultivate social connections while affording their bodies a dedicated space for self-healing," adds Kraemer.
REKOOP is slated to open its doors on 1 June 2024 at 18 Robinson Road.
