Why Pilates at Altitude?
If you love Reformer Pilates, you already know its power to strengthen, lengthen, and tone – all while being low-impact. But what if you could amplify those benefits with every session? At Combine Air, we’ve taken Pilates to new heights – literally. By training in a simulated altitude environment set at 3,500m above sea level, your heart rate is naturally elevated, allowing you to burn more calories and improve fitness without having to work longer or harder, and without having to leave the reformer bed. This means you can get more out of every session while staying true to the controlled, low-impact nature of Pilates.
The Science: Why Altitude Makes a Difference
When you train in reduced oxygen, your body has to work more efficiently. This means:
Increased calorie burn – You’ll burn up to 25% more calories per session, meaning a more efficient workout in less time.
Boosted endurance & strength – Your muscles adapt faster, helping you tone and build strength with every session, faster than sea-level training.
Enhanced after-burn effect – Your metabolism stays elevated post-workout, so you keep burning calories long after you leave the arena.
Structure & Progression: Know What You’re Walking Into
We’ve designed our Pilates program to be structured, clear, and results-focused. With a mix of strength, conditioning, and control-based sessions, you’ll always know what to expect – whether you’re looking to loose fat, build strength, refine technique, or improve mobility.
Our sessions run in 8-week blocks, following a carefully planned cycle to ensure progression. Each block is mapped out in advance, so your training evolves in a way that keeps you challenged while avoiding plateaus.
