Meet the Founders
Co-founders Scott Reynolds and Peter Hickey brought Australia its first simulated altitude training club over a decade ago. With a passion for fitness and innovation, the idea for Combine Air was born from a desire to bring the benefits of simulated altitude training—previously reserved for elite athletes and adventurers—to the everyday fitness enthusiast.

Scott Reynolds
During the first COVID-19 lockdown, Peter and Scott took the opportunity to evolve the concept of their previous venture, Peak Altitude Training, into Combine Air, creating a fun, engaging, and scientifically-backed fitness experience accessible to all. Their mission is simple: to help people train like athletes without needing to be one.
Our Name. Our Mission.
The Combine, originally a hallmark event in the NFL where athletes showcase their strength, agility, and athleticism, inspired our training philosophy at Combine Air.
Just like athletes at the Combine, our members—our “All-Stars”—step into the arena to push their limits and unlock their full potential. Every session is a chance to level up your strength, endurance, and skill, all while training at altitude.
Combine Air uses the world’s most elite training technology with training programs of purpose, creating fitness benefits that have been preserved for the elite for over 50 years.
The Goat
A Symbol of Greatness
The mountain goat symbolises the ‘Greatest of All Time’ (G.O.A.T), embodying our belief that every ALL-STAR has the potential to become the best version of themselves. Just as the mountain goat excels in high altitudes, we challenge our ALL-STARS to push beyond their limits in our simulated altitude environment. With each elevation gained, the mountain goat serves as a source of inspiration, encouraging us to explore new possibilities, broaden our horizons, and pursue continuous self-improvement. Its resilience, agility, and strength reflect the physical and mental transformation we seek to unlock in everyone who walks through our doors. The mountain goat’s spirit urges us to break free from comfort zones, seize growth opportunities, and ascend to new heights of personal discovery.
Evolution of CA
Combine Air has been on an incredible journey from when its doors opened in Rozelle in 2020 – constantly pushing the boundaries to offer the best possible experience for our All-Stars. In 2022, we transitioned from “Combine Air Training” to “Combine Air,” expanding our services to include a full range of recovery options like infrared saunas, compression boots, and cold plunge therapy. This move positioned us as more than just a training space, but as the ultimate destination for both high-performance training and recovery.
By 2024, we reached a new milestone by launching Reformer Pilates at altitude – a world first. This addition reflects our commitment to innovation and our mission to give our members everything they need to thrive. As we continue to evolve, Combine Air remains dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions that combine intensity and recovery, helping our All-Stars reach their full potential and achieve greatness.
