Train At Altitude. Perform At Sea Level.
Our Normobaric Altitude Chamber simulates high-altitude environments up to 3500m above sea-level, with oxygen concentrations of just 13.5% to stress the aerobic system. This helps our athletes & members to improve aerobic capacity and performance. Athletes can train smarter, adapt faster, and gain a competitive edge without leaving Perth.
Why Train at Altitude?
Altitude Training exposes the body to lower oxygen environments, forcing it to adapt and become more efficient at utilising oxygen during exercise. The result? Improved endurance, enhanced aerobic fitness, better recovery capacity, and increased performance output. Traditionally reserved for elite athletes and overseas training camps, Athletic Institute brings advanced hypoxic training technology to Perth athletes looking for a smarter way to improve performance.
This service is most popular with those training for Mount Everest Base Camp and those preparing for hiking at altitude.

Simulated High-Performance Environments
Our Altitude Training room uses normobaric hypoxic technology to reduce oxygen concentration and simulate training at high elevations.
This creates physiological adaptations that may help improve:
Aerobic capacity
VO2 max
Endurance performance
Recovery efficiency
Cardiovascular fitness
Oxygen utilisation
Fatigue resistance
All without changing atmospheric pressure or leaving sea level.
-
Less Oxygen. Greater Adaptation.
When oxygen availability decreases, the body is challenged to work more efficiently.
Over time, consistent Altitude Training may stimulate adaptations such as:
Improved oxygen delivery
Increased mitochondrial efficiency
Enhanced cardiovascular conditioning
Improved endurance output
Greater work capacity
This allows athletes to train their aerobic systems more effectively in shorter timeframes.
-
Designed for Athletes Who Want an Edge
Altitude Training is ideal for:
Triathletes
