Altitude training for cycling
Bring altitude into your training week, with overnight exposure at home and planned indoor sessions.
Choose your altitude system
Sleep Cloud suits riders who want overnight exposure, Training Cloud adds indoor hypoxic work, and an Altitude Bedroom System turns altitude into permanent training infrastructure.
Bring altitude exposure into your cycling programme while keeping outdoor rides and key power sessions at their normal elevation.
Why cyclists use altitude
Altitude blocks are part of endurance cycling preparation. Home systems make it possible to add exposure without relocating for every block. The right approach depends on the rider, the event and the rest of the training programme.
Live high, train low for cyclists
Sleeping in a simulated-altitude environment separates exposure from the setting for your rides. That lets you plan intervals, long rides and recovery days around your normal routes and training facilities.
Planning around races and training camps
Work backwards from your event with your coach. Record exposure, sleep and how key sessions feel. There is no single finishing date that guarantees a haemoglobin peak or a race-day improvement. See altitude camps and home exposure.
Indoor cycling at altitude
Training Cloud can accommodate a compatible indoor trainer and bike. Treat hypoxic sessions as a distinct workout: review intensity and duration instead of assuming your normal power targets will feel the same.
Cycling clubs and teams
For shared installations, specify room dimensions, equipment and occupancy before choosing generators. Talk to Box Altitude about a club or team system.
What the evidence can tell you
Structured live-high, train-low studies have reported increases in haemoglobin mass and aerobic performance. These findings apply to the exposure and athletes studied; they do not establish a fixed increase in watts or a race-time saving for every user. Review a published live-high, train-low study and its protocol when planning your approach.

Frequently asked questions
How much will altitude training improve my performance?
There is no fixed improvement that can be promised. Study outcomes depend on the protocol and participants, and individual responses vary. Assess your own progress with your coach rather than using a promised percentage or race-time saving.
How should I time a block before a race?
Plan the block with your coach around the race, travel, training load and your previous response. There is no universal number of weeks that guarantees a peak on race day.
Can I keep training in my usual environment?
Yes. A home altitude sleep system allows overnight exposure while your daytime sessions remain in your usual training environment.
Is altitude suitable for amateur cyclists?
Suitability depends on your goals, health, training and ability to follow a consistent plan. Professional use does not guarantee the same outcome for an amateur athlete.
Which system should I choose?
Sleep Cloud is designed for overnight exposure, Training Cloud for compatible indoor exercise setups, and an Altitude Bedroom System for a dedicated room. Choose the configuration around your space and intended use.
