Overview

Recovery & Performance Wellness Studios provide cryotherapy, infrared sauna, IV hydration, float therapy, compression, and other performance-recovery modalities to health-conscious consumers and athletes. It is one of the newest and fastest-growing wellness categories, riding mainstream interest in recovery, longevity, and biohacking.

Franchised, membership-based concepts (Restore Hyper Wellness and peers) have driven rapid expansion, packaging multiple recovery modalities under one membership. As an emerging category, unit economics and consumer durability are still being proven.
