Why we’re doing this
The people who run towards danger deserve a door that's open.
The people who run towards difficulty are usually the last to switch off. You carry a load most people never see, and you carry it quietly. This month, our doors are open to you, on us. Come and use what we've built. No catch, no paperwork beyond your veteran or first responder ID.
The offer
Unlimited free sessions, 1 to 31 October 2026
If you serve or have served, come in as often as you like this October. There is no charge, no catch and no limit on the number of sessions.
The offer runs 1 to 31 October 2026 — then it closes.
02 / Choose your shift
Three ways to run the session
Shiftwave vibration chair — full-body vibration, sound and guided breathing to release physical tension.
Light-and-sound lamp — a precisely timed light and sound session to settle a racing mind or sharpen up for the day.
NanoVi device — 30 minutes of breathing work that supports your body’s own recovery.

Inside the studio
What a session is like
Sessions use gentle vibration, light, sound and guided breathing in a quiet, private space. Many people find it a calm break in a busy week.
Cheat Code Playground is a recovery and performance studio. Sessions are not medical treatment and do not replace care from your doctor or health professional.
No awkward sales pitch
Straight answers
Is there a catch?
No. It’s free for the whole of October, it’s our way of saying thank you, and there’s nothing to sign up to.
Do I need to be at breaking point to come in?
No. Plenty of people come in running fine and just want to keep it that way.
What do I actually do?
Sit back in a private room. Clothes stay on. Follow a few simple cues. That’s the whole thing.
How often can I come?
As often as you like until 31 October 2026. No limit on the number of sessions.
