1Rebel doubles down on recovery space with its RESET contrast therapy experience expanding to Holborn

Launching on the 9th January, 1Rebel, London’s high octane group fitness studio group, is expanding its RESET contrast therapy experience with a new facility at its Holborn studio, adding a central London location to complement its High Street Kensington destination.

The new RESET space will feature two cold plunge pools and an 8-person capacity traditional sauna, as well as an additional social area in between, creating a more spacious and interactive environment for recovery. Whether for individuals or small groups, the enhanced facilities will offer even more opportunities for 1Rebel fans to explore the benefits of contrast therapy.

RESET is 1Rebel’s new recovery experience launched in October 2024, bringing contrast therapy to the forefront of London’s boutique wellness scene. Designed to promote physical recovery, elevate mood, and boost overall well-being, RESET combines the benefits of heat and cold exposure with a modern, accessible format.

Louise Mortimer, 1Rebel’s Contrast Therapy and Recovery Expert, explains: “Contrast therapy accelerates recovery by alternating hot and cold exposure, which reduces inflammation and muscle soreness while promoting blood flow. This method helps to stabilise the nervous system, alleviate stress, and promote quicker recovery, all without affecting your regular training. It’s the perfect way to balance the intensity of the signature classes and boost overall wellbeing."

“Cold exposure reduces inflammation caused by high-intensity workouts, while alternating between heat and cold can help alleviate DOMS [delayed onset muscle soreness] by flushing out lactic acid and metabolic waste. Contrast therapy not only speeds up recovery but also boosts energy levels, helping you return to your next session feeling stronger and more refreshed."

During the 45-minute self guided sessions, participants alternate between a sauna and cold plunge. This combination aids muscle recovery, reduces inflammation, and helps regulate the nervous system - perfect for balancing intense workouts or managing everyday stress.

RESET is included in 1Rebel’s membership packages and available on a pay-as-you-go basis, making it easy to incorporate recovery into your routine, whether post-workout or as a standalone wellness ritual.

With further expansion plans for 2025, 1Rebel’s RESET is set to continue redefining recovery for Londoners, providing an effective and accessible way to recharge both body and mind.
