In addition to the right equipment and materials, we offer a complete high altitude concept. 

Together with strong partners we do not only possess technical knowledge but also the right scientific support to answer any question regarding high altitude training. From sport to health and from knowlegde to experience, we have it all.    

The human body responds the same way in a high altitude room as it would in mountainous areas with the same (simulated) heigth. One of the first reactions the body will show is an increase in heart rate and rapid breathing to make up for the lack of oxygen. 

At the same time, the production of red blood cells is stimulated, which will eventually lead to acclimatization. Similar as in the mountains, people could get altitude sickness. This can be prevented by starting at a low level and increasing the height step-by-step (as described in our user manuals). 

When you are uncertain regarding your health, please advice your doctor before using high altitude training techniques.    

High altitude training has proven to be very effective for not only athletes but also people with certain health conditions like diabetes. Most people that regularly train in oxygen deprived air have felt an increase in strength, stamina and performance.    

All our products have a 1 year guarantee. Important is the fact that the product should be maintained and treated as described in the user manual.

Our professional high altitude rooms equipped with a VPSA nitrogen generator are extremely low-maintenance and very durable. These systems come with a 5 year warranty.

Oxygen molecules are spaced further apart at high altitudes because the pressure is lower; thus less oxygen gets inhaled per breath in comparison at sealevel. We simulate this effect by lowering the concentration of oxygen in the air (so not by lowering the pressure). The body responds in exactly the same way as it would if it was standing atop of a mountain.    

The generator does make some noise but you don’t have to worry; by extending the hose through which the air travels, you can easily put the generator into another room. This way, you can enjoy your nights rest.

Our larger professional systems (altitude chambers & mobile chambers) are extremely quiet.   

The tent is not very large but if you and your partner are used to lying close to each other, than we do not forsee any problems. 

Regarding the use of air you don’t have to worry. The generator will provide the necessary air.   

Mask (in combination with a high altitude generator):
– Flexibility: you can train nearly everywhere as long as there is a socket nearby for the generator. 
– Free choice in training equipment or method e.g. spinning machine and bench pressing. You can easily move the generator from one place to another.
– Very easy to install and use at home 
– Cheaper solution compared to a high altitude room

Altitude room:
– Complete movability: because you are not hooked up to a machine, you can move freely without keeping in mind you’re connected to a machine.
– High comfort: simply because without a mask, it is more relaxed to exercise.
– Room for more than one person at a time; for teamsports such as basketball or soccer.  

It certainly is! The generator is the machine that controls how much oxygen the air contains he regulates. This is something you can control yourself. Of course, we will give you proper advice before you go home with our products.

Our larger custom systems can be individually set per room. You can even upload a full schedule to set the altitudes for an entire week.   

The generator can simulate heights up to 5600 meter. Because research proofs that for 90% of the athletes, 2500 meter is the ideal training height, we advise this to mostly everyone. We do not advice you to sleep at a level higher than 3000 meter. The exception to this rule are mountaineers who wish to acclimatize before going on a trip.

Our custom systems (mobile chamber, climate chambers and built-in hypoxic chambers) can reach altitudes of up to 9000 meters.
