What is
Altitude Training?
Altitude training, also
known as hypoxic training, involves exercising in,
living in or otherwise breathing oxygen reduced air for
the purpose of improved athletic performance,
pre-acclimatization to altitude and/or physical
wellness.
Traditionally, individuals had to travel to or live
at high elevations to obtain the benefits of this
phenomenon. Circa 1995, the patented technology of Hypoxico
Inc. eliminated this hardship by allowing high altitude training
facilities to be set up anywhere. Through the production
of normobaric hypoxic (oxygen reduced) air, we can
simulate altitudes of up to 21,000ft/6,400m. As a
result, athletes, fitness enthusiasts and health
conscious individuals worldwide can take advantage of
the benefits associated with altitude training while at
sea-level.

Why it works
When the human body is
exposed to hypoxia (oxygen reduced environments), it
struggles to produce required amounts of energy with
less available oxygen. This struggle triggers the onset
of a range of physiological
adaptations geared towards enhancing the efficiency
of the body's respiratory, cardiovascular and oxygen
utilization systems.
