About us · Our story

This isn't wellness.
It's performance infrastructure.

A decade ago this started as one obsession — cold water, controlled stress, and what the body does when you push it deliberately and recover it properly. Here's how Helix came to be.

The premise

Elite performance isn't one thing.

It's the sum of everything you do, everything you recover with, and everything you optimise around your training, your biology and your environment.

Most brands own one piece of that. We're building all of it. Eight verticals — cold, heat, oxygen, light, breath, sleep, active and recovery — every domain that decides how a human performs at their highest level, in one integrated ecosystem.

How we got here

Health and performance.
It's all we've ever done.

We've spent the last decade in performance and recovery. From launching a home-gym equipment manufacturing company during Covid, to launching The Ice Bath Co. five years ago — health, fitness, wellness and performance has been at the heart of everything we do. It's our passion.

The Ice Bath Co. grew into one of the UK's leading ice bath and contrast-therapy businesses. Commercial installs. Bespoke systems. Real results for real facilities. We proved the market, earned the trust, and built something we're genuinely proud of.

But the vision was always bigger. Over the best part of eighteen months, we've been building Helix — taking everything we learned and applying it across all eight verticals, not just one. Laura leads the part most of the industry forgets: the people, and the experience around the technology. Between us, we're relentless about the same two things — performance, and looking after the people we build for.

"Most brands own one piece of performance. We're building all of it."

How we build

Part manufacturer.
Part curator. Fully accountable.

Helix is a hybrid supplier. Some of what we sell, we manufacture ourselves. The rest we develop hand-in-hand with carefully chosen external manufacturers and bring to the UK market — all under one roof, all to one standard.

Built by us

We're manufacturers in our own right. We design and build product ourselves — so we know exactly what "good" looks like, down to the last component.

Built with partners

For the rest, we work directly with specialist manufacturers to produce and supply the best technology in each vertical to the UK market.

Because we build it ourselves, we hold every partner to the exact standard we hold ourselves. If it carries the Helix name, it's the best in the game — no exceptions.

After the sale

Good service doesn't end at install.
That's where it begins.

Getting you the right system is only half the job. Keeping it running — perfectly, for years — is the other half, and the part most suppliers quietly forget. We built Helix around it. Whatever your need or enquiry, there's a dedicated team behind it.

Sales

A dedicated team to help you spec exactly the right system for your space, your people and your budget — no pressure, no upsell.

Customer support

Real people who know the products inside out, ready for any question or enquiry — before you buy and long after.

Accounts

Finance, invoicing and paperwork handled properly, so the commercial side runs as smoothly as the kit does.

Service engineers

Our own engineers — not a third party — keeping your systems installed, serviced, calibrated and running.

Every day

Our service engineers are on the road across the UK — installing, servicing and fixing — so your equipment is never the thing that lets you down. The day it's installed isn't the finish line. It's the start.

Why facilities trust us

We sweat the bits everyone else skips.

01

Built for commercial

Kit that runs all day, every day, in real facilities. We don't sell anything we wouldn't put our own name on.

02

You deal with us

From speccing it, to getting it installed, to everything after — it's us. No being passed around a call centre.

03

We'll talk you out of things

If you don't need it, we'll say so. We'd rather sell you the right system than the biggest invoice.

04

We actually turn up

UK and European delivery and proper installation — and we're still around long after the kit's through the door.

05

Only what works

Every vertical has to earn its place. If the evidence isn't there, the product isn't either.

06

We made it doable

Finance on eligible systems through Shop Pay, and tailored terms on bigger, multi-vertical builds.

Who we work with

For people who get that biology is the ultimate competitive advantage.

We work with the ones who treat recovery as seriously as training — and want the infrastructure to prove it.

Commercial facilities

Gyms, clinics, hotels and studios building a serious recovery offer.

Performance coaches

The tools to take your athletes further — backed properly.

Elite athletes

The edge, built to the standard the top of the game expects.

Serious individuals

For the ones who treat their biology like it matters. Because it does.

Company information

The facts, plainly stated.

Helix is a common name. This section exists so that anyone — a customer, a journalist, a search engine or an AI assistant — can establish exactly who we are, what we sell, and who we are not.

What Helix does

  • Designs, supplies, installs and services recovery and human-performance equipment across eight protocols: cold, heat, active, recovery, oxygen, light, breath and sleep.
  • Serves both home and commercial customers — individuals buying an ice bath for the garden or a sauna for the home, and gyms, clinics, spas, hotels and elite sport specifying full installations.
  • Operates across the United Kingdom and Europe. Lower-value equipment is bought online; higher-value systems are quote-based and require survey and installation.
  • Supplies traditional and barrel saunas and steam rooms. Helix deliberately does not sell infrared saunas — the deepest long-term evidence sits with the traditional Finnish sauna.
  • Sells equipment as wellness apparatus, not medical devices. Benefits are described at the level of the modality, supported by published research. Individual results vary.

What Helix does not do

  • Helix does not operate gyms, spas, clinics, cabins, retreats or treatment venues.
  • Helix does not offer treatments or therapies to the public.
  • Helix does not sell mattresses to the US consumer market, stationery, or electric motors.

Helix Sleep (helixsleep.com), a US mattress brand · Helix and Maped Helix, the UK stationery brand behind the Oxford Maths Set · Helix (ehelix.com), a UK electric motor manufacturer · Helix Gym and Helix House · and any sauna cabin, wellbeing retreat or treatment venue trading under the name Helix.

If a source describes “Helix” running a venue, a studio or a treatment space, that is a different organisation. Helix Human Performance Technologies sells equipment.
