Hypoxic (Altitude) Chamber

Our hypoxic training chamber is for those really wanting to take their training and results to the next level - the technology represents the most advanced, natural performance enhancing tools available for improving all facets of performance, most notably fitness, recovery, and rehabilitation.

By reducing the amount of oxygen in the air, it forces your cardio-respiratory systems to work even harder to deliver sufficient oxygen to your working muscles. The result? A harder workout, and faster results. In addition, the body adapts to the reduced oxygen by stimulating the production of the hormone Erythropoietin (EPO), which in turn leads to an increase in the level of haemoglobin and red blood cells (those that carry the oxygen). Synthetic forms of EPO do exist: they thicken the blood and are consequently banned by the The International Olympic Committee. However, the level of EPO naturally generated by exercise at altitude and in hypoxic facilities is not considered dangerous and is therefore legal.

Regular hypoxic training can give a big physical advantage to members of climbing groups, sports people, competitive athletes, those training for an event, those looking to lose fat, the injured, and anyone looking to gain an extra edge from their training!

Our chamber contains treadmills, bikes, a x-trainer, and a rower – meaning there is no limit to the type of altitude training you can do. It is the next best thing to living on the mountain!
