The full reset
One hour, all three
Ten minutes of light, thirty on the VacuTherm, fifteen on the Body Roller. Every package includes at least one a month.
Sports recovery & readiness · Private sessions, built around your traininG
Your training is fine.
It's the recovery that's falling behind
You plan your sessions to the minute, then leave recovery to a foam roller you skip and an ice bath you dread. Three recovery technologies, in a private studio in Kempton Park, and thirty minutes that make the next session count.
No oblogations, no commitments, no prssure

Light wavelengths
Red and near-infrared light across five wavelengths,
reaching your whole body at once
PrepareRecover
Train hard. Recover properly.
More good training days, week after week.
How It Works
Three technologies. One routine.
Recovery that keeps up with your training
At The Body Reset Space, the session is chosen by where you are in your week, not by what's free. Prepare before the sessions that matter. Recover after the ones that hurt. Condition on your easy days. Althea maps it to your training at your free consultation.
No effort and nothing to learn. You lie back, rest or walk at your own pace while the technology works on the part of training you've been leaving to chance.
Thirty to sixty minutes. Completely private. Personally guided by Althea.
Full-Body IR
Red and near-infrared light across five wavelengths reaches your whole body at once. It works with light rather than heat, so this is nothing like a sauna, and you lie still for the entire session.
The Body Roller
Cylindrical mechanical rollers and infrared work from your calves to your back while you relax. Everything a foam roller promises, without the pain or the effort — for legs that feel heavy rather than sore.
The VacuTherm
You walk at an easy pace inside a vacuum and infrared capsule for low-impact conditioning on your easy days. The mechanism was independently researched by NASA and the German Aerospace Center.
Matched to your week
Prepare before a key session, Recover after a hard one, Condition in between, or take all three in a Complete Performance Reset. One swap a month keeps the rhythm with your training block.
Is This For Me?
You'll recognise yourself
in at least one of these
Recover is for people who already train and want a more structured way to think about what happens between the hard sessions.
For runners, cyclists, triathletes, strength athletes and active people who want recovery to fit around the training they already do.
01
“I can still train. I just don’t bounce back like I used to.”
You’re still doing the work. The gap between demanding sessions simply feels harder to manage. Recover gives you lower-effort options that can fit around the training you already do.
02
“Sunday was hard. Tuesday still matters.”
The next important session is already on the calendar. Some days may call for very low effort, others for mechanical input or gentle movement. The point is choosing what fits the day.
03
“I don’t need another workout. I need something around it.”
You already train enough. Recover gives you access to Light, Mechanical and Movement experiences so recovery does not automatically mean adding more hard work.
04
“I have an event coming. I need to keep the preparation together.”
Your event is built from the sessions you can keep completing in the weeks beforehand. Recover helps you think about where a realistic recovery routine could fit into that preparation.
05
"I'm out at the moment and going backwards."
You cannot do your sport right now, and the fitness you built is draining away. Recover gives you low-impact options that load nothing, alongside whoever is treating you.
Why it works
Real technology.
Honest promises.
We don't promise faster times or personal bests. We promise a recovery routine as structured as your training, using technology you won't find in a gym.
The Body Reset Space technology is CE certified and meets ISO 9001 quality standards.
The equipment
Three machines, one plan
The VacuTherm for movement without impact, the Body Roller for legs that feel heavy, Full-Body Infrared for the days you cannot add anything.
Placement
Timed to your training week
Althea places each visit against your week rather than at random — clearing after the hard session, priming before the one that matters.
Load
Nothing that costs you a session
You lie still, or walk at your own pace inside the capsule. No impact goes through the knees, hips or ankles.
The honest part
What it will not do
It will not make you faster on its own, and it will not fix an injury. If what you need is a physiotherapist, Althea will say so.
Race week
The week before is different
Three visits in the seven days before, and deliberately no Body Roller — deep work close to a start line can leave you flat. The full reset comes within 48 hours after.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does a recovery session feel like?
Nothing like an ice bath or a foam roller. In Full-Body IR you lie still while red and near-infrared light works across your whole body. It uses light rather than heat, so it feels nothing like a sauna. On the Body Roller you relax while the rollers work from your calves to your back, and in the VacuTherm you walk at an easy pace. No effort, nothing to learn, and nothing painful.
Should I book before or after training?
It depends on your week. Prepare sessions go before a key session or race, Recover sessions follow your hardest efforts, and Condition sessions fit your easy days. At your free consultation Althea maps your sessions to your training plan, and you get one swap a month as your block changes.
How often should I come?
Most athletes start with one or two sessions a week around their hardest days (Performance 4 or Performance 8). In heavy blocks or double-session weeks, three a week works best (Performance 12). Training for an event? Race-Ready 8 builds ten sessions over eight weeks, working backwards from your race date.
Will it make me faster or help me set a PB?
We don't promise faster times or personal bests. What athletes notice, built up over a training block, is lighter and looser legs, less lingering soreness and more good training days, so your next hard session isn't compromised before it starts.
I'm coming back from injury. Can I still use it?
Yes, carefully. Our Rebuild programme uses low-impact sessions at a measured pace, with frequency set for you and reviewed as you go. We work alongside your physio or doctor, never instead of them. Althea screens every new client first. Not suitable during pregnancy, or if you have a pacemaker, active DVT, an uncontrolled heart condition or an active infection.
What should I wear?
Comfortable training kit. For the VacuTherm, fitted leggings or shorts are essential because the vacuum seal needs a close fit, and clean trainers and socks are mandatory. No jeans or thick fabrics. Drink water before and after your session.
