Our Story

Built because
nothing was
good enough.

Two athletes who wanted a proper cold water therapy system. Everything they found was overpriced, underpowered, or under-guaranteed. So they built one.

02Why Vanguard Exists

UK brands charge £800–£1,300 for the chiller alone. Tub sold separately. Single-stage filtration. 12 months.

We asked: what does the ideal system look like if you build from scratch for serious athletes and price it to be accessible?

The VP-1 Pro is that answer. 770W. 4-stage filtration. 3°C. 18-month guarantee. App control. Tub included. £899.

Two founders, direct sourcing. No VC, no marketing budget. Just people who take recovery as seriously as you do.
