Achieve four times the muscle-training results of a normal workout!? Body makeovers made efficient with Japan's first high-altitude space personal training and training machines.
FITLABO×4, a specialized high-altitude training studio, celebrated its grand opening on June 5, 2018. Here, you can experience personal training using machines in a "high-altitude space" with an oxygen concentration equivalent to that found at an altitude of 2,500 meters.
This is the first specialized high-altitude training studio in Japan to offer personal training with machines, in addition to walking and running on treadmills.
High-altitude space training places a load on the body simply by being in a low-oxygen environment, similar to high altitudes. This allows for high effectiveness without strenuous exercise; it's said that just 30 minutes of walking can be equivalent to two hours of regular exercise.
Furthermore, research papers (※) indicate that while the perceived exertion during strength training in a low-oxygen environment is comparable to that in a normal oxygen environment, muscle cross-sectional area can increase by more than four times, and muscle strength begins to increase more rapidly in a low-oxygen environment.

Training Programs
① RUN & WALK PROGRAM
The basic program at FITLABO×4: Rebuild your body from the inside by training your cells.
The RUN & WALK program, where just 30 minutes of walking can yield the effects of two hours of exercise, is designed to be accessible and efficient for everyone from beginners to advanced trainees, utilizing self-powered treadmills.
During running or walking in the room, staff will measure your blood oxygen levels every five minutes to control your training. This RUN & WALK program, the most fundamental aerobic exercise, transforms your body from the inside by training and activating your cells.
② STUDIO PROGRAM
Achieve the ideal body balance and flexibility.
When considering starting exercise, aerobic activities like walking and running often come to mind first. However, the studio program focuses on the next steps: improving flexibility, recovery ability, and basal metabolism, as well as stress relief through enjoyable exercise. These programs are designed to balance the body and lead to a more stable life, with enhanced effectiveness in the high-altitude space.
③ PERSONAL TRAINING PROGRAM
Customized one-on-one training for each individual's ideal physique.
To approach your ideal physique, it's essential to assess each person's physical condition and perform appropriate training tailored to their goals. The personal training program addresses challenges that may be difficult to overcome with basic aerobic exercise or body balancing alone, through individualized one-on-one training.

■ Strength Training in a High-Altitude Space
The training environment at FITLABO×4 is a "high-altitude space" with an oxygen concentration equivalent to that of a 2,500m mountain. Simply being in this low-oxygen environment places a load on the body, allowing for high effectiveness without strenuous exercise; it's said that just 30 minutes of walking can be equivalent to two hours of regular exercise. Research papers (※) indicate that while the perceived exertion during strength training in a low-oxygen environment is comparable to that in a normal oxygen environment, muscle cross-sectional area can increase by more than four times, and muscle strength begins to increase more rapidly in a low-oxygen environment.
Additionally, the risk of injury is significantly reduced. Due to its high efficiency and low risk of injury, this training method has been adopted by many top athletes.
