Sleep
SLEEP AND TENT OPTIONS
We supply a range of options so you can easily sleep at altitude including small tents that can be set up over the head of any bed, to complete bedroom fit out where your room is kept at a constant altitude and controlled from the tip of your finger.
ALTITUDE TENTS:
Altitude tents have been used for many years by elite athletes to aid performance and mountain climbers to prepare for treks. Our systems are very compact and just cover the head area of your bed. This allows your body to regulate temperature resulting in a better nights sleep and gain all the benefits of sleeping at altitude.
Spending time in an altitude tent is a very powerful form of altitude exposure and research has proven that the benefits from sleeping at altitude are so great, that it will improve the performance of any individual no matter what sport or activity they undertake. These benefits include:
- Stimulation of the body’s natural production of erythropoietin, increasing red blood cells and oxygen delivery to muscles
- Improved athletic performance and fitness
- Faster recovery
- Weight-loss
- Increased energy levels and quality of life
- General health and well-being
- Cost effective
Renting or purchasing a sleep system includes a consult via phone, Skype, or FaceTime. We run through the simple set up process and discuss the protocol to follow for your entire altitude program. Support continues after your purchase for any queries or clarification about your program.
A typical program will run 4-8 weeks depending on your goals and a specific protocol is developed to suit your needs.
Prices start from as little as $400
ALTITUDE ROOMS:
We can quote and build a custom fit out system in your home or office so you can gain the benefits of altitude exposure without using the tent system. The install is a quick and easy process and can be managed via a smart phone app and exposure is the same as what some of the best NBA, NFL and AFL players use to increase performance, reduce injury and effectively extend their careers.
The Benefits
How it works
IMPROVING OXYGEN EFFICIENCY
Training at altitude exposes the body to reduced oxygen levels, meaning the body works harder, adapting and becoming more efficient – get the body you want at Altitude.
INCREASE ENDURANCE, SPEED & PERFORMANCE
Experience boosted performance from training at altitude. Train longer, harder and more consistently than ever before and experience gains of up to 37% more endurance, 9% more strength and 3% power and speed.
MAXIMISING PERSONAL PERFORMANCE
Dream about achieving a Personal Best? Training at altitude will accelerate weight loss, increase fitness and improve your immune system leading to significant improvements in your performance, health and fitness.
BOOST INJURY REHABILITATION
Performing your rehabilitation exercises at altitude will hasten recovery, boost oxygen transportation and allow you to clear injury by-products more efficiently.
Our unique mobile unit filters oxygen out of the air which is then delivered to you inside the hypoxic chamber. Hypoxic training kick starts the pre-acclimatisation process if you are planning a trip to high altitude, preparing your body for the conditions ahead.>
If you are training for sport, it will enhance the oxygen transportation and utilisation system and enable you to clear by-products from physical exercise (such as lactate) more efficiently.
SPECIFIC BENEFITS:
Hypoxic training is also an important part of rehabilitation. Training in hypoxia enables you to unload muscle groups while maintaining a high cardiovascular and respiratory load. This means there is less impact on your fitness levels while injured. This training method also increases the production of human growth hormones that help the body to recover. Research in the area of bone healing is particularly interesting, and it has shown that hypoxia can increase mineral density to make bones stronger, and speed recovery.
Training at altitude is like giving the body a tune up. You feel better, you have more energy, can run faster and further and there is less wear and tear on your internal engine. You achieve more, by doing less.
With Altitude Training, experience:
- Maximized speed, endurance and recovery
- Elevated strength and power
- Enhanced energy levels and overall wellness
- Less muscle fatigue
- Improved your oxygen efficiency
- Increased your metabolism and boosted fat-loss
- Rejuvenated skin and improved general wellbeing
- Fast-tracked rehabilitation, minimising loss of fitness due to injury and promoted healing
- Increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the site of soft tissues injuries.
WEIGHT LOSS
Exercise is a key in any weight loss plan. You burn calories when exercising and for hours following exercise. This is where altitude training can take your weight management to new levels.
Training at altitude exposes the body to reduced oxygen levels, meaning the body has to work harder. With less oxygen available in the air, less oxygen is circulating in your blood (measured by a finger pulse oximeter). In response to this stress, the body makes adaptive changes as to how it uses the available oxygen as well as its energy stores.
If you are carrying extra weight, you generally have poor carbohydrate and fat metabolism, and have a lower exercise capacity overall. The body utilises fat stores differently at altitude and activates the burning of fat stores immediately, resulting in a greater overall weight loss effect.
The way the body updates and utilises glycogen from the system also changes and thus makes energy consumption more efficient. The equivalent gains of exercising hard for 1 hour at sea level can be achieved in 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise at altitude.
Minimum time and effort = maximum benefits.

Training at altitude (a hypoxic environment) is scientifically proven to trigger a range of physiological responses not achievable in normal training programs as the body adapts to cope with the reduction of oxygen taken into the lungs. These physiological adaptions include enhanced fat metabolism, boosted production of red blood cells and capillaries and a strengthened immune system, and can lead to significant improvements in your performance, health and fitness.
Research and testing has shown that training at altitude can provide gains of up to:
- 37% more endurance (exercise-till-exhaustion)
- 25% more efficient workout than at sea-level
- 15% more weight loss
- 9% more strength
- 3% more power and speed
The proof of the effectiveness of training at altitude is evidenced by its elite pro athlete users.
