The Altitude Centre
The Altitude Centre is the UKs only Pre-acclimatisation specialist, utilising the latest technology in simulated altitude (hypoxic) training to prepare the Everest West Ridge Teams for this great exploration.
"We have the ability to start the acclimatisation process at home, even before they head to the mountain. Greater time spent acclimatising helps make trips to high altitude safer and more enjoyable" says Richard Pullan, Director of The Altitude Centre.
The Altitude Centre is pleased to provide the team with training and equipment. Allowing the team to exercise or sleep at any simulated altitude, whilst located in the comfort of their home surroundings.
Acclimatising the body to become more efficient with available oxygen doesn't just help those going to high altitude. Sports people looking for the edge are also incorporating altitude training into their daily training schedules to naturally boost performance at sea level.
The Altitude Centre makes accessible something that has previously only been available to a select few. The Centre provides bespoke solutions to meet individual needs, with a list of blue chip clients including professional sports bodies, teams, gyms and individual athletes and climbers.
"We are unique in what we do; by offering all forms of simulated altitude training we are able to create a training strategy that is right for the individual" says Pullan.
The following services are currently available from The Altitude Centre:
- Specific advice on altitude training and preparation
- Altitude training sessions at their Covent Garden location, London
- Rental of Simulated Altitude Equipment
- Sales of Simulated Altitude Equipment for individual or team use
More information is available at their website www.altitudecentre.com
"We are very pleased to be working with EWR2006 and wish all of the team a safe and happy trip".
