Altitude Training

in Portland, OR

Experience the Only Altitude
Training Room in Portland, OR.

Altitude training isn’t just for elite athletes or mountain climbers, it’s one of the most effective ways to improve performance, burn fat, and accelerate recovery.

At Evolution Healthcare & Fitness, you can experience the scientifically backed benefits of training in a hypoxic (oxygen-reduced) environment right here in Portland, OR.

Our 650 sq. ft. Altitude Training Room simulates elevations of 10,000′–13,000′, allowing your body to adapt, strengthen, and perform at a higher level without leaving the city.

Train High, Live Low

Altitude training changes the way your body uses oxygen, helping you break through plateaus and
achieve results more efficiently. But before you get started, let’s clear up some common myths.

  • I might pass out. Altitude training can be a more intense workout, but you have a monitor to measure your Sp02 levels. And if you get light-headed, just step out.
  • It’s only for elite athletes. Wrong! This is great for people of any experience level. It has been shown to help with weight loss, recovery from injury, strength, and cardiovascular performance. Anyone can take advantage of this unique training experience.
  • I’m not going to a high altitude location, I don’t need it. Yes, it helps people acclimate before going to high altitude destinations. However, Altitude Training has also been show to stimulate dramatic physiological changes to people living at sea level. You’re training your body to carry more oxygen and deliver it more efficiently, regardless of your elevation.
  • I don’t have time. Fantastic results have been measured with as little as three hours per week for one month. Have more time, do more. Have less time, you can still see benefits. Considering the proven benefits, the time commitment is relatively small!

Scientifically Backed Benefits of Altitude Training in Portland, OR

Training in a hypoxic environment triggers a cascade of physiological adaptations, the same methods used at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. The body responds to low oxygen by increasing EPO (erythropoietin) production, creating more red blood cells to deliver oxygen more effectively. The result: improved performance at any elevation. Proven Benefits Include:
