Wimbledon, Wellness & the Ritual of Recovery: What the Pros, Celebs & Royals Get Right

Wimbledon might be all about the aces, rallies and on-court drama—but the real magic often happens off-court.

Look closely and you’ll see it: the quiet rituals, the recovery routines, the glow that comes not from the spotlight, but from behind-the-scenes discipline. From Zendaya’s athlete-inspired training for Challengers, to courtside appearances by Princess Beatrice and Sarah, Duchess of York, to celebrity skin that somehow looks fresh despite the pressure—Wimbledon is a masterclass in balance.

And we’re here for all of it.

The New Courtside Icons: Performance, Recovery & Poise

Day one of Wimbledon 2025 set the tone—not just for tennis, but for style, presence and self-care. Princess Beatrice arrived in a crisp striped poplin dress, effortlessly cool under pressure. Sarah Ferguson chose soft florals and an easy confidence that felt timeless. They weren’t just guests in the Royal Box. They were signals that grace isn’t about effort—it’s about energy.

And energy, as any pro athlete will tell you, comes down to one thing: how you recover.

Zendaya’s Real-World Wellness: Grit Meets Grace

In Challengers, Zendaya plays a tennis prodigy whose career—and personal life—spin out in high-stakes intensity. To prepare, she trained with pro-level coaches five days a week: strength sets, agility drills, tennis conditioning. But what’s most inspiring isn’t the intensity—it’s how she balances it in real life: 

“I’m not a gym person,” she said. “But I do things that make me feel good. Walks, breathwork, dancing in my kitchen.”

Her approach? Wellness that works with her life, not against it. That means:

• Mind-first movement—moving when it feels right, not forced

• Skincare as self-care—cleanse, moisturise, SPF, done

• Wind-down routines—early nights and zero-pressure ritual

It’s a mindset we love. No overpromising. Just recovery that’s rooted in real life.

What Recovery Actually Looks Like

Here’s the part the cameras usually miss: what these athletes, celebrities, and royals all have in common is recovery.

You might not be training for centre court or walking a red carpet, but your body—and your mind—deserve the same level of care.

At PURE, we’ve built our recovery experiences to reflect just that:

Fire & Ice Therapy

Inspired by contrast therapy used by athletes. Hot/cold cycles reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and leave you feeling rebooted.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Floods the body with pure oxygen to speed up healing, boost energy & even enhance skin clarity. It’s not science fiction—it’s cell-deep recovery.

LED Light Therapy

Clinically backed wavelengths that calm inflammation, ease muscle fatigue, and help skin bounce back from stress or sun. 

Deep Tissue Massage

A manual reset. Undo tightness, stimulate lymphatic flow and let your nervous system exhale.

The Courtside Glow: Skincare That Shows Up

Let’s talk about skin. Because Wimbledon’s beauty game is strong—and it’s all about simplicity. From Sienna Miller’s classic red lip to influencer Morgan Riddle’s “glow but no-glam” look, the vibe is effortless.

Behind it? Skin that’s looked after.

PURE Spa Skincare is 100% oil-based and built on plant actives and antioxidant vitamins. No harsh foaming agents. No trend-chasing formulas. Just spa-grade goodness that protects your skin barrier and supports long-term glow.

Pair it with our signature facials or LED add-ons for a result you can feel—and see.

The Takeaway: You Don’t Need Centre Court to Prioritise Recovery

Wimbledon reminds us that performance is just one part of the picture. What really matters is the ritual behind the result.

And your ritual can be as simple as:

• Scheduling a massage after a long work week

• Booking time for LED or oxygen therapy to reset your glow

• Taking five deep breaths before your next Zoom call

• Applying your SPF or eye serum like it’s a love letter to your future skin

This is your sign to slow down, reset, and treat your body like it matters—because it does.

Book Your Recovery Ritual

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a skincare minimalist, or someone just trying to keep it all together—your body and mind will thank you.

You don’t need the Royal Box to feel like royalty. You just need time—and a little intention.
