Altitudespaces

Proud to be able to contribute to the preparation of young cycling talent !

As the protégé of former pro cyclist , Rodolfo is fully committed to his development. We are therefore thrilled that he can do his altitude training... simply at home, in his own bedroom!

This allows him to recover and train optimally in a familiar environment, without extra travel.
We wish you tremendous success, Rodolfo! We look forward to everything you will achieve in the coming seasons.

Do you want to get more out of the same training hours?

Most athletes think progress comes from doing more — more kilometers, more intensity, more sessions.

But often, the real progress comes from changing the stimulus.

By introducing hypoxic training or altitude simulation, you challenge your body in different ways. Your system becomes more efficient, your oxygen transport improves, and your endurance can increase without adding extra load.

Sometimes, smarter beats harder.

Can less oxygen actually make you perform better?

It sounds counterintuitive. But it's exactly the principle behind intermittent hypoxic training, or IHT.

With IHT, you alternate short periods of breathing air with reduced oxygen levels through a mask with short periods of normal breathing. Your body gets a targeted stimulus without being continuously and heavily loaded.

What happens then? Your respiratory muscles work harder, your body becomes more efficient at extracting oxygen from every breath, and your aerobic system gets an extra push to level up. Over time, this leads to better oxygen transport, improved endurance, and a higher VO2max.

The key is timing. Short, controlled hypoxic moments work best when your body is still fresh enough to respond and adapt. If you apply this when you're already overtired or stressed, the stimulus simply accumulates without making you better.

So it's not just about what you do. It's about when and how often you do it.

Smart training means the right stimulus, at the right time, with enough room actually to recover from it.

Good luck and success Remco Evenepoel and team Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe 👍🍀💪

What if better sleep could directly improve your performance?

As an athlete, recovery is just as important as training. And a big part of that happens while you sleep.

During deep sleep, your body repairs muscle tissue, balances hormones, and restores energy levels. But poor air quality or insufficient oxygen can disrupt that process without you even noticing.

Sleeping in a controlled environment, like an altitude tent or with optimized air quality, can support deeper recovery and better adaptation.

Because it’s not just how hard you train… but how well you recover at night.

Why do some athletes recover faster than others?

You might train the same, eat the same, and still feel like your recovery lags.

A key factor is how efficiently your body delivers oxygen to your muscles. Oxygen is essential for repairing tissue, clearing waste products, and restoring energy.

When that process is optimized, your body bounces back faster, and you’re ready for the next session sooner.

Tools like hyperbaric oxygen therapy can support this by increasing oxygen availability where your body needs it most.

Recovery isn’t passive. It’s something you can actively improve.

Woohooh good job 👏💪

Mission accomplished. ❤️‍🔥

Do you ever feel like your breathing is holding you back during intense efforts?

You’re pushing hard, your legs are ready, but your breathing becomes shallow and uncontrolled. That’s often not a fitness issue, but an efficiency issue.

Your body depends on oxygen to produce energy. The more efficiently you breathe and use oxygen, the longer you can sustain high intensity without burning out.

That’s where targeted breathing training or hypoxic sessions can make a difference. By challenging your system in a controlled way, your body learns to use oxygen more effectively and stay calmer under pressure.

Performance is not just about power but about how well you support it with oxygen.

What if your training environment is the reason you’re not progressing?

You show up, you put in the work, and you stay consistent. But if your body keeps receiving the same stimulus, it eventually adapts and progress slows down.

Training in a controlled low-oxygen environment adds a completely different dimension. Your body is challenged to use oxygen more efficiently, support red blood cell production, and improve endurance without simply adding more volume or intensity.

A gym equipped with an altitude room allows you to integrate that stimulus directly into your sessions, without changing your routine completely. You train as you normally would, but your body is pushed to adapt on a deeper level.

Sometimes progress doesn’t come from doing more, but from changing the environment in which you train.
