Spring Into Recovery and Reinvigoration While Traveling

BERKELEY, CA. March 30—

Just in time for Opening Day at Fenway Park and the 130th running of the Boston Marathon, Hotel Commonwealth is now offering guests in-room wellness amenities that promote recovery, rejuvenation and overall wellbeing. In partnership with Rekova Recovery, the hotel is inviting guests to include their stay cold plunging, red light and hand-held massage therapies, and precision pulse technology in a selection of wellness amenities that can be placed in-room so guests can remain consistent with their recovery routines. These therapies are offered to guests to boost energy, help recover faster after a workout, advance wellness goals, and revive both body and mind.

According to Tyler Therrien, Founder, Rekova Recovery, “Rekova was built to bring elite recovery experiences into everyday life, like traveling, and partnering with Hotel Commonwealth allows us to do exactly that in one of Boston’s most iconic hospitality settings. By combining cold plunge therapy, compression recovery, percussive therapy, and red light therapy, we’re giving guests access to the same recovery tools trusted by professional and world-class athletes, right in the comfort and privacy of their hotel room.”

In partnership with Rekova and their team of recovery experts, the following amenities (and their benefits) are part of Hotel Commonwealth’s new Rekovery Session that can be brought to select guestrooms, upon request, while staying at the hotel:

Cold Plunge Therapy

• Commercial-grade cold plunge systems provided by The Cold Life
• Professionally maintained and temperature-controlled for optimal recovery, cold plunging reduces inflammation while promoting faster recovery, strengthens your immune system by stimulating circulation, boosts your metabolism by regulating your body’s core temperature, and optimizes your sleep system by releasing melatonin.

Therrien says, “You’ll feel more active, alert, attentive, and inspired after a cold-water bath.” And actor and Boston-native, Mark Wahlberg, has publicly shared, “Cold plunging is a non-negotiable for me. It’s about discipline, recovery, and staying sharp every day.”

Award-Winning Red Light Therapy

• Clearlight® FULL BODY Red Light Therapy Tower

• Ensures total coverage as it bathes your body in revitalizing red light,  delivering quicker muscle recovery and skin health benefits

• The FULL BODY Tower allows guests to incorporate red light therapy into their daily lives and unlock their health and well-being potential
• Red Light Therapy taps into the power of red and near-infrared light to boost energy production in cells, providing numerous benefits for health and well-being

Says Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder and CEO, Clearlight, “As someone who travels quite a lot during the year, I know that travel can challenge our bodies in many ways, from jet lag and disrupted sleep cycles to inflammation and muscle fatigue. By offering our FULL BODY Red Light Therapy Tower as part of Hotel Commonwealth’s Rekovery Session, we’re giving travelers a doctor-designed and science-backed way to reset their circadian rhythms, boost their cellular energy, and recover smarter while away from home. This partnership represents the future of hospitality, where wellness innovation is built directly into the guest experience.”

Shane McWeeny, General Manager, Hotel Commonwealth adds, “As the official hotel of the Boston Red Sox, the hotel works with professional athletes and team trainers regularly who know that stacking or layering healing therapies like these lead to faster recovery, relaxation and optimal performance. We believe that relaxation, rejuvenation, and reinvigoration are integral parts of any stay and we’re committed to making a healthier, better and more sound version of our guests. Whether you’re a world-class athlete, marathoner, or simply returning to the hotel after a workout or run along the Charles River, we’re proud to be offering the next evolution of recovery and wellness amenities to guests and fitness enthusiasts staying with us.”

McWeeny concludes,”Working in partnership with Rekova and its partners, Hotel Commonwealth has created a Rekovery Session that offers guests multiple therapies so when they have 20-30 minutes in their room, they can easily stack relaxation, light, cold, heat, and other wellness solutions for maximum health benefit. No other hotel in the New England area is offering these wellness amenities and innovative recovery programming.”
