Huge congratulations to Dr Shaunna Burke on her successful second summit of Everest! At 3am on 23rd May, Shaunna became the first woman with stage 4 cancer to stand on top of the world’s highest peak.

Determined not to let a cancer diagnosis stop her living her life, Shaunna inspires hope in other cancer patients, demonstrating what is possible with incredible mental strength.

We’re proud to have helped her on her journey, alongside Dr Barney Wainwright and Leeds Beckett University, preparing her body for the huge challenge of climbing at altitude.

So far, she’s raised over £30,000 for so let’s help her reach her £50k target! Donate here: https://givestar.io/gs/dying-to-climb-shaunna-burkes-return-to-everest

The Cloud9 is a super versatile altitude training tool. No matter how you choose to move, it fits seamlessly into your existing routine:

🏃‍♂️ Treadmill & cross trainer: Level up your interval sessions with hypoxic training to see pacing and endurance improvements in just a few weeks.

🚴 Indoor bike: Level up your Zwift or Wattbike sessions. Just 2–3 short Cloud9 sessions a week can smash through fitness plateaus and spike your functional threshold power (FTP).

🚣 Rowing machine: Rowing is already a great, full-body workout. Adding hypoxic air just takes it to a whole new level, making your body work harder and forcing physiological adaptations that can’t be achieved in any other way.

🧗 Stairmaster: Replicate actual mountaineering conditions. Perfect for high-altitude expedition prep or building bulletproof leg strength and endurance.

🏋️ Resistance & weight training: Yes, weight training! Performing free weights or resistance work under simulated altitude places a massive metabolic stress on your muscles, accelerating strength adaptations and lean muscle toning without needing to overload your joints with heavier weights.

Whether you are aiming for peak athletic performance, accelerating weight loss, or maintaining your engine while rehabbing an injury with low-impact tools, Cloud9 delivers. It’s compact, incredibly easy to set up, and safe.

Work smarter, not just harder. It’s time to train above the clouds. ☁️💪

Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) is the perfect way to work your cardiovascular system, while minimising the mechanical load on your body. It transforms low intensity exercise into a high intensity workout for your heart.

By simulating high-altitude conditions at sea level, your body is forced to adapt to a lower-oxygen environment.

Here is why it’s great for injured athletes and older adults:

Zero impact, maximum cardio: You can sit on a stationary bike, spin the pedals under low resistance, and still get your heart rate and aerobic systems working like you’re sprinting up a mountain.

Maintain performance while injured: When structural injuries (like stress fractures or tendonitis) keep you off the track or pitch, the Cloud9 system ensures your VO2 max and metabolic fitness don’t slide backwards while you heal.

Saves the joints: For older fitness enthusiasts, high-intensity intervals on a treadmill can be brutal on knees and hips. IHT gives you the profound cellular and cardiovascular benefits of a grueling HIIT session at a fraction of the physical strain.

It’s not about training harder—it’s about training smarter. Bring the mountains to your recovery protocol and keep your fitness soaring, no matter what your joints have to say about it.

Over the winter, the Sporting Edge team wrapped up a massive, state-of-the-art altitude installation for Team Denmark, designed to optimise elite athlete training and recovery.

When you need athletes to get 10+ hours of altitude exposure a day, comfort and mental well-being are just as important as the science. That’s why we designed a 6-bedroom setup connected by a communal altitude lounge—giving athletes the freedom to socialise, relax, and log their hours together.

Behind the walls, we integrated the altitude tech directly with the hotel’s AC system. It’s a complex bit of engineering controlled seamlessly from reception, while still giving athletes individual temperature control.

We’re pretty sure this is a European—if not global—first for this level of integration.

Dr Barney Wainwright talks about his acclimatisation for climbing Mera Peak in Nepal recently, supporting in her quest to summit Everest with incurable cancer.

Barney and Shaunna both used the Cloud9 altitude simulator before travelling to Nepal to prepare their bodies for lower levels of oxygen, reduce the chances of altitude sickness and give them the best possible chance of reaching their goals and enjoying it too!

Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) is invaluable if you’re preparing for an expedition or race at altitude, but it will also improve your performance at sea level.

You don’t need to live on a mountain to get the benefits of altitude training.

Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) with the Cloud9 system brings the mountain air straight to your home or gym, and the results are impressive.

Improve your performance and endurance without adding hours to your training schedule.

⏱️ Time efficient: You only need 2–3 sessions per week to see significant physiological adaptations.

👍 Convenient: No travel, no altitude sickness, and no complicated setups. Just pure, science-backed performance gains from the comfort of home.

⚡️ Quick sessions: Each session lasts between 25–60 minutes or it can be part of a longer ride or brick session.

Work smarter, not harder...
By breathing reduced-oxygen air, your body works harder at a cellular level, improving your oxygen efficiency and endurance. Whether you’re a pro athlete or just looking for that extra edge, IHT is the ultimate tool for higher output and better recovery.

Happy Friday! Here are a couple of shots from a recent trip to Paris where we installed an altitude room in a physical therapy clinic in 2024.

This chamber can reach 5750m altitude and is used to assist in rehabilitation for cardiovascular conditions.

Hypoxic training - both active and passive - is increasingly used for wellbeing and longevity due to its many health benefits, including cardiovascular and muscular fitness, weight management and metabolic health.

Our chambers can be installed in almost any space and we offer ongoing servicing.

Train in the mountains without leaving home 🏔️

Ever dreamed of getting those elite high-altitude gains without the expense and disruption of travel? Now you can.

The Cloud9 System is your personal gateway to the ultimate altitude advantage, right in your own home.

Why Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT)?

By safely reducing oxygen intake during your sessions, you’re not just working out; you’re biohacking your biology. Cloud9 mimics elevations up to 4000m, triggering unique adaptations that can help to:

🩸 Improve VO2 Max and oxygen delivery

💪 Increase muscle power

🫀Boost cardiac output

🔥Burn more calories: Your metabolism works harder even at lower intensities.

⚡️Recover faster: Lower intensity training means fewer DOMS

The Cloud9 difference ☁️

No bulky tents or permanent renovations. Our sleek, portable system integrates seamlessly into your existing setup. Whether you’re a triathlete looking for a PB, a mountaineer prepping for a summit, or a fitness enthusiast wanting an edge – the mountains are officially calling.

Ready to level up your oxygen game? Check out our website or get in touch for more information.
