FOUNDED ON A RECOVERY JOURNEY
RECO HQ was founded by Emily Hughes, inspired by her own recovery journey while training for an Ironman 70.3 on the Gold Coast, Australia. There she discovered social wellness clubs where recovery, performance and community came together seamlessly, and saw a model the UK was missing. A four-time founder across beauty, wellness and F&B, who launched her first business at 13, Emily brings industry experience from David Lloyd and Nirvana Spa to building RECO HQ.

A Note From Emily
Hey, I’m Emily, the Founder of RECO HQ. Thank you so much for being here. Whether you’ve discovered us through a run club, a community event, social media, or stumbled across our website, it’s incredibly exciting to have you on the journey. RECO HQ was born from a simple belief: recovery shouldn’t feel like another task on your to-do list. It should be somewhere you actually want to spend time. A place where you can unwind, recharge, meet like-minded people and leave feeling better than when you arrived. As someone who loves endurance sport, I’ve experienced first-hand how powerful recovery can be, not just physically, but mentally too. After seeing recovery clubs become part of everyday life in Australia, I couldn’t stop thinking about why we didn’t have that same culture here in the UK. That question became an obsession, and eventually, RECO HQ. We’re building more than a recovery club. We’re building a community, and I’m so excited to have you join us from the very beginning. I can’t wait to welcome you through our doors.
