Altitude training isn’t just for elite athletes. The beauty of hypoxic (low-oxygen) training is that it meets you exactly where you are.

For the everyday & time poor athlete: Cloud9 allows you to burn up to 20% more calories and significantly boost your aerobic base in short 25-60 minute sessions. You get a high-intensity cardiovascular workout with drastically less mechanical strain on your joints. Think bigger fitness gains, in less time, with lower impact.

For the competitive & elite athlete: When you’ve plateaued at sea level, you need a new stimulus. Hypoxic training stimulates red blood cell production, boosts your VO2 max, and enhances muscular buffering capacity. Whether used with your smart bike, treadmill, or rower, it triggers powerful adaptations at the muscular level that increase energy production and can significantly improve athletic performance.

For the master athlete: As we age, our cellular health and metabolic efficiency naturally decline - but altitude simulation acts as a powerful longevity protocol.
Cellular renewal: Hypoxic conditioning triggers mitochondrial biogenesis (the creation of new cellular powerhouses) and activates anti-aging pathways.
Active rehab & prehab: Facing an injury? Cloud9 lets you maintain elite cardiovascular fitness through "passive" breathing protocols or low-workload active sessions, keeping your heart and lungs strong without overloading healing joints.
Vascular health: Physiological adaptations include the dilation of blood vessels and the growth of new capillaries, allowing for improved oxygen delivery, reduced blood pressure, and faster recovery for both athletes and clinical patients.

Ever wondered how a double Olympic Champion keeps finding that extra 1%?

Alistair Brownlee trains at home using the Cloud9 system.

Performing targeted intervals in a low oxygen environment triggers adaptations that can’t be achieved with normal oxygen levels.

These adaptations can lead to huge performance benefits both at altitude and sea level, giving you the edge over your competitors! 💪

One of our largest projects to date was this huge two floor extreme altitude and environmental chamber at the Nad el Sheba Sports Complex in Dubai. And it was a pretty extreme environment already, with outside temperatures hitting 45 degrees!

Used as a training camp by elite athletes and premiership football clubs, the entire complex includes an athletics track, football pitches, gym, indoor courts and a diving pool.

No packing. No flights. No jet lag. Just pure, high-altitude performance right from your own space.

If you’re looking to unlock the benefits of hypoxic training - like boosted VO2 max, enhanced endurance, and faster recovery - the Cloud9 System offers elite-level mountain training without leaving home.

Zero travel required: Skip the airport, expensive hotel bookings, and disrupted routines.

Seamless integration: Train at simulated altitude, then continue with your normal day. Fits perfectly around work and family life.

Total control: No unpredictable mountain weather. Just a precise, controlled hypoxic environment tailored to your exact training goals.

Consistency is the real secret to athletic breakthroughs. By removing the friction of travel, Cloud9 lets you accumulate altitude hours effortlessly week after week.

Want the benefits of altitude training without travelling to the mountains?

The Live Low, Train High (LLTH) method lets you live your normal life at sea level but perform specific workouts in a low-oxygen (hypoxic) environment. It improves your muscles’ efficiency at using oxygen and tolerating fatigue.

There are two very different ways to do it. Here is the breakdown so you can choose the right one for your sport:

1. IHT (Intermittent Hypoxic Training)

What it is: Controlled, sub-maximal intervals (70%+ max heart rate) at moderate simulated altitudes (2,000–3,000m).

The Goal: Build your aerobic engine. It forces your body to become highly efficient with the oxygen it does have, boosting VO₂ max and endurance.

Best for: Endurance athletes (runners, cyclists, triathletes, rowers, cross-country skiers) who need to sustain power over long periods.

In short: It helps you push harder for longer.

2. RSH (Repeated Sprint Training in Hypoxia)

What it is: All-out, maximal sprints (

If you’ve hit a plateau, the only way is up. Altitude training could be the new stimulus you need to push harder and get even stronger.

The Cloud9 altitude simulator safely replicates oxygen levels at 2,700m–4,000m and offers all the benefits, without the travel. And you don’t have to wait months to see the payoff.

With just 2 to 3 short sessions per week (we're talking 25–60 minutes), you can see measurable performance gains in as little as 4 weeks.

By introducing a controlled hypoxic stimulus, your body is forced to adapt, increasing red blood cell production, improving oxygen efficiency, and boosting endurance. The result? A huge performance advantage when you return to normoxia (sea-level oxygen conditions).

Huge congratulations to Dr Shaunna Burke on her successful second summit of Everest! At 3am on 23rd May, Shaunna became the first woman with stage 4 cancer to stand on top of the world’s highest peak.

Determined not to let a cancer diagnosis stop her living her life, Shaunna inspires hope in other cancer patients, demonstrating what is possible with incredible mental strength.

We’re proud to have helped her on her journey, alongside Dr Barney Wainwright and Leeds Beckett University, preparing her body for the huge challenge of climbing at altitude.

So far, she’s raised over £30,000 for so let’s help her reach her £50k target! Donate here: https://givestar.io/gs/dying-to-climb-shaunna-burkes-return-to-everest

The Cloud9 is a super versatile altitude training tool. No matter how you choose to move, it fits seamlessly into your existing routine:

🏃‍♂️ Treadmill & cross trainer: Level up your interval sessions with hypoxic training to see pacing and endurance improvements in just a few weeks.

🚴 Indoor bike: Level up your Zwift or Wattbike sessions. Just 2–3 short Cloud9 sessions a week can smash through fitness plateaus and spike your functional threshold power (FTP).

🚣 Rowing machine: Rowing is already a great, full-body workout. Adding hypoxic air just takes it to a whole new level, making your body work harder and forcing physiological adaptations that can’t be achieved in any other way.

🧗 Stairmaster: Replicate actual mountaineering conditions. Perfect for high-altitude expedition prep or building bulletproof leg strength and endurance.

🏋️ Resistance & weight training: Yes, weight training! Performing free weights or resistance work under simulated altitude places a massive metabolic stress on your muscles, accelerating strength adaptations and lean muscle toning without needing to overload your joints with heavier weights.

Whether you are aiming for peak athletic performance, accelerating weight loss, or maintaining your engine while rehabbing an injury with low-impact tools, Cloud9 delivers. It’s compact, incredibly easy to set up, and safe.

Work smarter, not just harder. It’s time to train above the clouds. ☁️💪
