Revolutionary Technology

The Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning (CVAC) System is the world's only multi-baric system.

Through precise changes in air pressure, density, and temperature, this unique and innovative technology supports natural oxygenation, enhances circulation, and optimizes physical conditioning and post-workout recovery. 

Why this matters

Who is this for?

Everyone.  If you're reading this, we mean you!

for athletes and everyone

How it works

While you are comfortably seated with a large, panoramic window surrounding you (no claustrophobia here!) the air pressure, density and temperature will change up to 500 times during a single 20-minute session.

This acts like a natural pump, rhythmically compressing and releasing tissues to promote fluid flow through tissues, lymphatic, and blood vessels throughout the entire body from head to toe.

Are there any limitations?

The multi-baric system is designed for people of any age or fitness level.

The process is entirely natural and purely achieved through continual air pressure changes, rather than using supplemental oxygen under constant high pressure. There are zero chemicals, additives, or banned substances involved, making it 100% compliant for competitive athletes.

If you are medically cleared to fly in a commercial airplane, you can use the multi-baric system.

What are People's Experiences?

From athletics to everyday life, here are just a small sample of people's experiences using the CVAC multi-baric system:

There have been a number of articles from various publications and scientific studies on the benefits of intermittent hypoxic exposure which you can find here:

Frequently Asked Questions

Come as you are! 

Any type of clothing, jewelry, cell phones, tablets, headphones, books, food and drink are allowed.


  • If you are medically restricted from flying due to a recent procedure or medical condition.  (Pregnancy Note: Airline flight restrictions stem from mid-flight labor risks rather than pressure exposure; as with any wellness activity, we recommend expectant mothers consult their doctor prior to their first session.)
  • If you have an active condition that prevents you from equalizing ear pressure (similar to flying). Examples include acute sinus congestion or infection, cold or flu, or an active tooth infection.
  • If you have participated in SCUBA/deep sea diving or used a hyperbaric chamber within the last 24 hours.
  • Laptops without a solid state (SSD) hard drive (the air pressure changes may damage moving parts)
  • Fountain pens or felt markers (will likely leak). Ball point pens are okay, pencils are best.


Bring a water bottle if you can.  Being well hydrated will improve your results.


There is no limit.  You can come in as often as you'd like for as long as you'd like.  There are no hypoxic ill-effects.


History of the CVAC Multi-baric System

The Theory

In 1984 Carl Linton, a respiratory therapist, was asked to take over research associated with the work of Dr. S. Tromp into the effects of “serial short stays at simulated altitude.” 

Carl was skeptical when he was told that the Tromp method was a “cure” for asthma. He found himself challenged to either verify or disprove the statement.

The Research

Carl spent the next five years and over 10,000 hours on what was essentially the first theoretical research done on the effects of short stays at simulated altitude. 

This altitude simulator provided a suitable model for testing his theories. 

First Use

From it came the first commercial use of the CVAC process for thoroughbred race horses!

The results proved so effective (one horse, retired due to injury, went through 120 sessions and made a comeback breaking the track’s record time) that the next step was to design a system people would be able to use. 

Early Design

An early “beer can” design.

Next Generation

A more streamlined prototype in 2000 but a little claustrophobic.

Better Design

A lot of design went into the production model. 

Production Model

The latest design was much roomier and put into production 

(...well, roomy enough for you and your pet but, maybe, leave your friends and family outside... after all, we have three pods for a reason!)

Growing

The number of places around the world that have multi-baric systems are growing!

See For Yourself

Come in and experience the benefits.

We have three pods waiting for you, your family and your friends.

See you soon!
