The course
Four visits, two weeks
A course with an end, not a subscription. The change builds after it.
Muscle tone, shape & firmness · Private sessions, guided from start to finish
You're the weight you wanted.
The shape didn't follow
Definition comes from muscle, and building it the usual way takes hours you don't have and reaches muscles you can't always switch on yourself. Thirty minutes, lying down, in a private studio in Kempton Park, with Althea guiding every session.

How It Works
Build. Drain. Renew.
Shape you can see, in thirty minutes.
At The Body Reset Space, the EMslim contracts your muscles directly through the nerve, at an intensity you can't produce on your own. Two areas at a time, usually the stomach and buttocks, while you lie still and Althea sets and adjusts the intensity throughout.
A short Body Roller finish moves on what a hard muscular session stirs up, and Full-Body IR supports the skin over it. Build, drain, renew, in one visit.
Thirty minutes. Completely private. Guided by Althea from start to finish.
The EMslim
Electromagnetic impulses contract the muscle directly through the nerve, reaching fibres that are hard to switch on through effort alone. You lie still, and the machine does the work.
Two areas at once
Two applicators are strapped in place, usually the stomach and buttocks, so one session works both. Althea sets the intensity for you and adjusts it as you go.
The Body Roller finish
Cylindrical mechanical rollers and infrared work along the lymph pathways, moving on the fluid a hard muscular session leaves behind.
Full-Body IR
Red and near-infrared light across five wavelengths, supporting the skin over the areas you're working on.
Is This For Me?
You'll recognise yourself
in at least one of these.
For women at or near the weight they want, who want the shape to match the effort.
01
"I train four times a week and still can't see it."
You're doing the work. Definition needs muscle, and some of it is hard to switch on through effort alone. EMS contracts those fibres directly, on whichever area you choose.
02
"I lost the weight, but everything feels soft."
Losing weight quickly often takes muscle with it. Building it back is what firms the shape underneath, and thirty minutes lying down is where that starts.
03
"I've heard promises like this before."
Then start with what it will not do. EMS builds the muscle underneath; it will not take away the layer over it. Althea will tell you which of the two you are looking at.
04
"I don't have hours for the gym."
Thirty minutes of work, twice a week — forty-five in the diary. No weights, no technique to learn, and no gym floor.
Why it works
Real technology.
Honest promises.
We don't promise centimetres or a number on the scale. We promise muscle worked at an intensity you can't reach on your own, in a private studio, guided every session.

Muscle
Worked directly
Contractions reach fibres that are hard to switch on through effort alone.
Your core
Stronger engagement
Deep abdominal muscles contracted while you lie still, with nothing to hold or brace.
Firmness
Shape that holds
Muscle underneath is what firms the shape, not weight loss on its own.
Your time
Thirty minutes of work
Forty-five in the diary, twice a week. No weights, no technique to learn.
Your skin
Supported over it
Add the Body Roller finish: for skin texture, and comfort after an intense session.
Free 30-Minute Private CONSULTATION
See it in person, then decide.
Thirty minutes with Althea at the studio. Talk through your goals and what you've already tried, see the EMslim, Body Roller and Full-Body IR in person, and have your starting measurements taken. Althea checks it's right for your body before anything is booked. Free, and no obligation.
Sessions
Try it once before you commit to anything
Three machines, three different jobs. The EMS builds the muscle underneath. The Roller works the surface over it. The light asks nothing of you at all, which is why it fits a day between sessions.
You can start with one and add another later.
TRY A SINGLE SESSION
One machine, once, to see how it feels. Booked online, no consultation needed.
EMS
30 MINUTES · THE ONE THAT BUILDS
Thirty minutes of strong involuntary contractions in the area you choose. Intense and strange the first time, and nothing like anything else you have tried. You lie still and set the intensity yourself.

START HERE
A course, not a subscription
Most people start here. Four visits over two weeks, then you decide whether you want to carry on — nothing renews unless you choose it.
EMS Sculpt Course
FOUR VISITS ACROSS TWO WEEKS · BUILT TO END
Four sessions, two to five days apart. That spacing is deliberate — the muscle needs the days in between. You feel it working from the first visit, and the shape builds over the weeks after the course rather than during it.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does a session actually feel like?
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.
How often should I come?
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.
What should I wear?
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.
What is the body roller and do I need it?
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.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
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 30-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.
Is it only for women?
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.
How soon will I see results?
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.
Is it safe? Who should not use it?
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.
Do I need to diet or exercise separately?
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.
How is this different from going to a gym?
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.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes — and you can save money doing it. Our buddy packages allow two friends to share a session and swap machines halfway through. The Accountability Buddy Bundle saves a combined R1,000/month, and the Elite Buddy Bundle saves a combined R1,500/month compared to booking separately. Ask Althea which shared option best suits your goals.
