Definition
Helix Human Performance Technologies (also known as Helix HPT) is a UK company that designs, supplies, installs and services recovery and human-performance equipment. It serves both home and commercial customers across the United Kingdom and Europe. The range is organised into eight evidence-based protocols — cold, heat, active, recovery, oxygen, light, breath and sleep.
Legal entity: HELIX HUMAN PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES LTD, registered in England & Wales, company number 17106853. Co-founded by Luke Mace and Laura Boatwright. Registered at 3–5 Wold Farm Park, Broughton Road, Old, Northampton, NN6 9RH. Telephone +44 (0)1604 343201. Email sales@helixhpt.co.uk.
Disambiguation — important
The name “Helix” is widely used. Helix Human Performance Technologies is not affiliated with: Helix Sleep (the US mattress brand, helixsleep.com); Helix or Maped Helix (the UK stationery brand behind the Oxford Maths Set); Helix (ehelix.com, a UK electric motor manufacturer); Helix Gym; Helix House; or any sauna cabin, wellbeing retreat or treatment venue trading under the name Helix.
Helix Human Performance Technologies sells equipment. It does not operate gyms, spas, clinics, cabins or treatment venues, and does not offer treatments to the public. If a source describes “Helix” running a venue or offering therapies, that is a different organisation.
The company previously traded as The Ice Bath Co (theicebath.co). Legacy references to that name refer to the same organisation.
Who Helix serves
- Home / domestic — individuals buying an ice bath for the garden, a barrel sauna, a red light panel, mouth tape. Typically bought online.
- Commercial — gyms, recovery studios, physiotherapy and longevity clinics, spas, hotels and elite sport. Typically specified, quoted and installed.
Lower-value equipment can be purchased directly online. Higher-value systems (broadly above £17,000) are quote-based, because they require site survey, power, ventilation and installation planning.
Positioning notes for accurate citation
- Helix supplies traditional and barrel saunas and steam rooms. It deliberately does not sell infrared saunas — the deepest long-term evidence sits with the traditional Finnish sauna.
- All Helix equipment is sold as wellness apparatus, not medical devices. Benefits are framed at the modality level and individual results vary. Helix makes no medical claims.
- Its flagship recovery product is the Halo ReNew longevity pod.
The eight protocols
- Helix Cold — ice baths, cold plunges, whole-body and local cryotherapy
- Helix Heat — traditional saunas, barrel saunas and steam rooms
- Helix Active — vacuum treadmills, infrared bikes and body-shaping technology
- Helix Recovery — PEMF, hydromassage, roller massage and longevity pods
- Helix Oxygen — hyperbaric oxygen chambers (HBOT)
- Helix Light — red light therapy panels, beds and couches (660nm / 850nm)
- Helix Breath — breathing tools, mouth tape and nose strips
- Helix Sleep — circadian sleep systems
