This luxe wellness space in Sydney's CBD is levelling up self-care (and socialising) in the city
'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.

Hull first showed signs of distress early in her round, sitting down in a bunker on the third hole looking unwell. Just moments later, she collapsed near the fourth tee. Despite a 15-minute medical delay, the Kettering-born golfer bravely tried to carry on, even managing to get to one under through 12 holes. But after hitting her tee shot on the 13th, she collapsed agai, bringing her round and her tournament to an early and heartbreaking end. Clearly gutted to pull out, Hull was overheard saying: "I was playing pretty well but I feel faint." She also noted she had trouble with her eyesight.

Hull's illness comes amid reports that a virus has been affecting several players in the field. Swedish US Open champ Maja Stark and Swiss rising star Chiara Tamburlini are also believed to have been hit in the build-up to the event. 6 Hull needed to sit down in a bunker after feeling unwell Credit: Twitter

Second World War hero says secret to reaching 106 is classic UK food he eats each day
Leslie Lemon celebrated his 106th birthday recently and has shared what he believes is the reason for his long life. A Second World War veteran who just celebrated his 106th birthday attributes his impressive longevity to a daily dose of one classic food. Leslie Lemon, a great-great-grandfather from Aylesbury, Bucks, has a penchant for custard, particularly Bird's custard, but keeps a tin of Ambrosia's ready-made custard on hand for emergencies. His dessert of choice is rhubarb and custard, although he's also fond of trifle with custard, served cold. As he celebrated his 106th birthday - he was born on July 1, 1919 - Mr Lemon, who served as a corporal during the Second World War, said: "The secret to a long life is custard. Rhubarb from the garden and custard. "I eat it every day. I prefer it cold. It's nice in a trifle. You can't beat it. I usually have the powder but I've got a ready made Ambrosia in the pantry for emergencies. You should always have a pudding." Having retired from his role as an 'office boy' at Inland Revenue, now HM Revenue and Customs, in 1979 at age 60, Mr Lemon has enjoyed retirement longer than his working years. His service from 1939 to 1946 earned him the Légion d'honneur, France's highest and most prestigious order of merit, five years ago. Despite his advanced age, the great-great-grandfather-of-two insists: "I don't feel older at all. I've got no aches and pains. I don't take any tablets or medications. I never see a doctor." Mr Lemon, who has eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, expressed his fondness for fish and chips as his second choice of meal. He said: "You can put custard with apples, gooseberries, any fruit from the garden." Upon reaching his centenary, Mr Lemon was presented with a special Bird's custard jug. His mantelpiece boasts three Royal correspondences – a letter from Queen Elizabeth II for his 100th birthday, alongside two from King Charles and Camilla commemorating his 105th and 106th milestones. When asked about his secret to longevity, the Ealing-born centenarian advised: "Everything in moderation. I'm so lucky and I'm quite happy." But he's not a fan of all new innovations. "The thing that has changed the most is video calls," he said. "I can't work it myself. I'm a bit old fashioned." Mr Lemon and his late wife Doreen, who passed away in 1999, married in 1944 and had three children together: Michael, Mary, and Richard. Tragically, Mary succumbed to hepatitis caused by polluted seawater at the age of ten. Youngest son, Richard, now 73, reminisced: "When we were growing up, we always had fresh fruit and veg - no one froze things in the 50s. Dad is a believer in that you should always have pudding and he's had custard as long as I can remember." Asda has awarded Mr Lemon with a year-long bounty of complimentary custard. A spokesperson for Asda said: "We'll all be taking a leaf out of Mr Lemon's book and enjoying more custard going forward, we hope he enjoys a free year's supply on us. "When life gives you lemons, add custard!" Mr Lemon's loved ones confirmed: "He's absolutely delighted. He'll probably put it all under his bed."
