1Rebel

Pro Chill ice baths paired with infrared sauna across a collection of boutique gyms, including "Reset", the contrast therapy experience at Chelsea.

1Rebel: RESET, contrast therapy across the estate

Why RESET

Ice bath in the 1Rebel RESET suite

1Rebel saw members wanting more from their gym than a place to sweat. They wanted somewhere to go after a hard class or a hard day at the office, and a reason to stay. RESET gave the estate that space, and made what happens after the workout part of the membership.

Talking numbers

1Rebel chose a Pro Chill, which holds 3°C for up to 75 users a day. Single RESET sessions are £12, with seasonal bundles (Summer Sweat) and location bundles (the Euston triple) on top. Sessions are self-guided, so the suite runs with very little staff time, and the routine maintenance fits the ops team's day. That leaves room to add guided breathwork sessions later.

Reformer studio next to RESET at 1Rebel Chelsea

At 1Rebel Chelsea, Reset brings sauna, breathwork and cold water immersion together in one calm, considered space, next to the Reshape and reformer Pilates studios. The team use it to teach members to take what comes after the workout as seriously as the workout itself, and members use it together, as a shared part of their visit.

Onboarding came with support through the HALO app, WhatsApp and a responsive support team, so the Chelsea team felt confident running the equipment and talking members through it from day one.

Looking ahead

With RESET working in its first sites, 1Rebel plans to take it to more locations across the estate.

“The numbers don't lie really! Whenever you set up something new, you've got some teething problems. You've got to teach people that behaviour, let's say in a new concept. But overwhelmingly our occupancy is some of the highest we've got.”

James, 1Rebel

“Adding the cold plunges has rounded off the whole experience for us. It's been an amazing opportunity to educate customers and encourage them to take their recovery as seriously as they take their workouts, it just betters the entire experience.”

Abbie, General Manager, 1Rebel Chelsea
