In January, Islington welcomes Reset, a new luxury wellness destination set to open its doors at 240 Upper Street, Islington. Purpose-built for those seeking to reset, recharge, and reconnect. Reset combines state-of-the-art contrast therapy with evidence-based breathwork, creating an immersive wellness experience.
Each experience at Reset is rooted in proven physiological benefits and every detail is crafted to support transformation. At the heart of the space is a striking 25-person sauna, among the largest in London. Heated between 90°C and 105°C, the sauna features curated music, aromatic oils, and therapeutic herbs to ease inflammation, boost circulation, support detoxification, and restore clarity of mind. The ice plunge, maintained between 1°C and 9°C, reduces inflammation, elevates dopamine, strengthens the nervous system, and builds mental resilience while providing a deeply restorative release.
Practiced together as contrast therapy, alternating between hot and cold immersion amplifies these effects, enhancing cardiovascular function, accelerating recovery, and delivering a profound reset for both body and mind.
Complementing this is guided breathwork, which rewires subconscious patterns, regulates the nervous system, releases stored stress and emotions, stimulates stem cell production and opens the body’s natural energy pathways. Combined, these practices provide measurable physical and mental benefits, expanding clarity and raising the body’s baseline of homeostasis.
Reset offers a variety of ways to engage, from free-roam sessions that allow guests to move through sauna and ice baths at their own pace, to expert-led classes that combine contrast therapy and breathwork in structured formats. For
those seeking connection, the unique ‘Contrast Social Club’ blends community, music, and health tonics with immersive sessions. Tailored multi-session journeys and flexible memberships provide the framework for lasting change Memberships reflect the flexibility of modern life with options ranging from individual passes, starting at £35 for a one hour ‘Free Roam’ session, to monthly memberships, including the ‘Explorer’ (£175/month), ‘Class Pass Membership’ (£250/month), and ‘Unlimited’ (£300/month), with additional guest passes included.
With its opening, Reset sets a new benchmark for wellness in North London, combining luxury, science, and intentional living into a singular experience.
