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

    • Runners

    • Cyclists
