Where Kigali Comes Together.
Coffee. Movement. Family. Conversation.
Start your morning with coffee. Fit in a workout before work. Let the kids disappear into MindMotion.
Meet friends for dinner. Stay for the game. However your day looks, there’s always a reason to come back.
A Place You'll Return To.
Again. And again.
The best days are rarely planned.
They begin with coffee, turn into a workout, become lunch with friends, an afternoon by the pool, a meeting that lasts longer than expected, or dinner that turns into an evening together.
The Rec was created for those moments.
A place where movement, work, family, food and community naturally come together – without ever feeling like you’re rushing somewhere else.
Seven Worlds
One Destination.
Every space at The Rec has its own personality.
Feel Better. Every day.
Whether you’re chasing a new PB, taking your first class or simply moving after a long day, Soho is designed to fit naturally into your routine.
Movement looks different for everyone.
Some come to lift. Others to stretch. Some arrive before sunrise. Others after work.
Whatever brings you here, Soho Rec gives you the space, coaching and community to keep coming back.
A place where movement becomes part of everyday life.

- Group Classes
- Personal Training
- SOHO Padel
Recovery is part of the work.
Some people need to slow down, others need to move. Some come to recover after training, others simply want one quiet hour in the middle of a busy week.
Ucyeye is a complete wellness club designed around the way people actually live.
Heated pool, jacuzzi, ice bath, sauna, steam, Turkish bath. Reformer Pilates, hot yoga, spin, meditation.
Massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, physiotherapy, nutrition.
Whatever you came in needing, it’s here.
Ucyeye sits inside The Rec for a reason. The gym and the spa are not separate decisions.
- Heated Pool
- Sauna & Steam
- Therapeutic Massage
- Nourish
The Best Part
Of The Morning.
Bagels baked in-house. Coffee dialled in. A counter worth lingering at before the day takes over – or after the gym does.
Rare Society Coffee & Bagels is where The Rec starts. It’s also where deals get made at 8am, where the afternoon slows down, and where you don’t need a reason to sit for another hour.
Come for the coffee and stay for everything else.
- Hand-Rolled Bagels
- Specialty Coffee
- All-Day Café
- Artisan Bakery
Where Great Days End Well.
Some nights are about the match. Others are about the people around the table.
At Rare Society, you’ll find both.
Rare Society was created for people who enjoy great food, lively conversation and unforgettable sporting moments.
Whether you’re here for a perfectly cooked steak, Sunday lunch with the family, the Champions League final or a quiet drink after work, every visit should feel relaxed, welcoming and worth staying for.
We believe great hospitality is simple: good food, good drinks and people you enjoy spending time with.
Some memories happen long after the final whistle.
- Live Sports Viewing
- Craft Beer
- Game Days
- Private Events
Big Adventures
For Little People.
A place where children can explore, create, play and build confidence – while parents enjoy everything else The Rec has to offer.
Every child discovers the world differently. Some love building. Some dance.
Some paint, climb, imagine and ask endless questions.
Mind Motion is designed to nurture that curiosity through creative play, movement and hands-on learning in a safe, welcoming environment.
While the children are making memories, parents can enjoy a workout, lunch, a massage or simply an hour to themselves, knowing they’re just a few steps away.
A little independence for them. A little time for you.
- Arts & Crafts
- Music & Dance
- STEM Learning
- Creative Workshops
Some Bottles Are Worth Sharing.
An intimate wine and champagne destination for those who appreciate meaningful conversation.
Every bottle tells a story.
Some are opened to celebrate, some simply because the company is good.
Whether you’re discovering a new favourite, sharing a bottle over dinner or ending the day with a quiet glass of wine, In Vino Veritas is designed to make people slow down, connect with each other and enjoy the moment.
Sometimes the wine is just the beginning.
- Curated Wine
- Champagne
- Tapas
- Private Gatherings
Climb Higher One Hold At A Time.
Whether it’s your first climb or your hundredth, Basecamp is a place to challenge yourself, learn something new and enjoy the process.
Climbing has a way of bringing people together.
It teaches patience, builds confidence and rewards persistence more than strength.
Basecamp welcomes complete beginners, experienced climbers, families and anyone curious enough to give it a try. Come for an hour, learn something new and leave with a sense of accomplishment.
Every climb begins with a first step.
- Indoor Climbing
- Bouldering
- Beginner Programs
- Kids & Families

Kigali Is Growing.
So Should The Places That Bring Us Together.
Kigali has changed remarkably over the past decade.
People are living differently. Families are looking for more meaningful ways to spend time together. Professionals want spaces where work, wellbeing and community naturally overlap. Neighbourhoods are growing, but places that truly bring people together remain rare.
The Rec was created in response to that.
Not as another gym, restaurant or café, but as a place that fits into everyday life. A place where people can move, meet, recharge, celebrate and simply spend time together.
Because great cities are remembered not only for the buildings they create, but for the communities they bring to life.

- Family
- Creativity
