Question 1

On the VacuTreadmill you'll feel a pressure around your hips and thighs — as if someone is sitting on your shoulders — while your legs warm up from the infrared. Your vacuum level always starts low and increases gradually to your comfort. On the Body Roll you simply relax while the rollers work from your calves to your back. Neither machine is painful when used correctly.

Question 2

A minimum of 2–3 sessions per week is recommended throughout your first 3 months for visible results. Fewer than 2 sessions per week will slow progress significantly. After completing your initial programme, 2–4 sessions per month is recommended to maintain your results.

Question 3

Fitted leggings or gym shorts — not loose or baggy, as the vacuum seal needs a close fit to work correctly. A breathable vest or T-shirt. Clean trainers and socks are mandatory for the VacuTreadmill (socks are required for hygiene and to prevent friction). No jeans, denim, or thick fabrics — these block both the vacuum seal and the infrared heat penetration.

Question 4

The Body Roll features cylindrical mechanical rollers combined with Philips infrared radiators. You lie or lean against it while it massages from your calves to your back, stimulating the lymphatic system. It is the "drain" phase that completes the VacuTreadmill's "stimulate" phase — together they create the Stimulate → Drain cycle that produces results faster than either machine alone. It is strongly recommended alongside VacuTreadmill sessions.

Question 5

We do not offer a standard money-back guarantee — meaningful body transformation depends on consistency over time, not a once-off session. Instead, we reduce your risk upfront with a free 15-minute private studio tour and consultation. You can see the studio, understand how both machines work, discuss your goals with Althea, and ask all your questions before making any financial commitment.

Question 6

Not at all — everyone is welcome. While most clients come for body shaping and cellulite improvement, the technology works equally well for men looking to tone, improve circulation or speed up recovery. Age is also not a barrier — programmes can be adjusted for clients over 60, with pace and settings adapted to your comfort and health status.

Question 7

Many clients notice early changes — lighter legs, reduced bloating, feeling less puffy — within the first few sessions. More visible changes in skin texture, body shape and centimetre loss usually build from around weeks 4–6, with stronger transformation over roughly 3 months of consistent attendance at 2–3 sessions per week.

Question 8

The treatments are CE certified and have been used safely in 40+ countries since 1998. Please do not use them — or consult your doctor first — if you have active cancer or are undergoing chemotherapy, a pacemaker or implanted electronic device, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), an active infection or open wound, severe uncontrolled heart failure, or a fever. Pregnancy is a contraindication. Althea screens every new client before their first session.

Question 9

No strict diet or exercise programme is required — the technology works on its own. That said, good hydration (at least 500ml before and 500ml–1L after every session) makes a significant difference to results. Focus on reasonable nutrition and adequate sleep. Adding light walking or swimming outside of sessions will accelerate progress.

Question 10

A gym membership gives you general access to equipment. The Body Reset Space provides a private, technology-assisted, low-impact service with vacuum-assisted cardio, infrared heat and body rolling working together to focus on circulation, water retention relief, centimetre loss and body confidence. You are paying for focused treatment time, specialist technology, privacy and one-to-one guidance — not just access to a room full of equipment.
