Why Altitude Systems Are Better Than Altitude Camps

Why Altitude Systems Are Better Than Altitude Camps

Altitude camps have long been a popular option for endurance athletes, but altitude systems offer unmatched convenience, control, and efficiency. Whether you’re aiming to boost performance or sustain adaptations year-round, here’s why an altitude system might be the smarter, more sustainable choice:

1. Flexibility and Accessibility
Altitude camps require athletes to travel to high altitude locations, often disrupting routines and creating logistical challenges. With an altitude system, you can replicate high-altitude conditions from the comfort of your own home. This eliminates travel time and costs, allowing you to integrate hypoxic exposure seamlessly into your daily life.

2. Year-Round Adaptations
Sleeping in an altitude system enables consistent hypoxic exposure across all seasons. This helps maintain elevated hemoglobin levels and oxygen-carrying capacity year-round. Unlike altitude camps, which are seasonal and temporary, altitude systems ensure you’re always primed for peak performance, no matter the time of year.

3. Controlled Environment
Box Altitude systems offer fully adjustable altitude settings, allowing for a gradual, personalised acclimatisation process. This controlled environment minimises the risks associated with rapid altitude exposure, helping athletes fine-tune their adaptations according to specific performance goals and current fitness levels.

4. Enhanced Recovery and Training Efficiency 
Altitude camps often combine high-altitude living and training, which can reduce workout intensity and lead to fatigue. With an altitude system, you can separate these elements by training at sea level – where you can perform at higher intensities – and recovering at altitude, optimising both performance and recovery.


5. Cost-Effectiveness
The costs of attending multiple altitude camps can quickly add up, with expenses for travel, accommodation, and camp fees. Investing in an altitude system offers a more cost-effective, long-term solution. With a one-time purchase, athletes gain unlimited access to altitude exposure whenever they need it, making it a smart investment for sustained performance gains.

6. Proven Results
Professional cycling teams like EF Pro Cycling have seen measurable improvements using Box Altitude systems. These systems are highly effective in promoting key physiological adaptations such as increased red blood cell production, improved oxygen utilisation, and enhanced endurance – all without the logistical hurdles of attending an altitude camp.


Elevate Your Training

Altitude systems empower athletes to maximise their physiological adaptations – such as enhanced aerobic capacity and recovery – while enjoying the convenience and comfort of training at home.
