THE STORY
Based in Austria, HYPOXI has been at the forefront of research, design and manufacture of cellulite and body shaping equipment for the last 10 years. Dr Norbert Egger, the founder of HYPOXI, had a clear objective in mind; targeted body shaping through the unique combination of therapy and training. After 20 years experience in the fitness industry, he achieved superior results with the interaction of treatment and exercise – at the same time, through isolated usage.
Using one of three specialised HYPOXI machines designed to act on the stubborn areas on the stomach and/or the bottom and thighs, we offer an effective way to lose the lumps and bumps that you want to disappear.

HYPOXI® is completely non invasive, targeted body reshaping, developed by sport scientist Dr Norbert Egger in Salzburg. Dr Egger, noticed that stubborn fat deposits in poorly circulated areas were resistant to diet and exercise. The solution was to activate the burning of fatty acids by increasing blood circulation in problematic areas. HYPOXI® technology uses vacuum and compression therapy with moderate kinetic exercise to stimulate the circulation into the problem areas and improve the metabolism. HYPOXI® equipment is ergonomically designed and can target specific fat areas: stomach, hips, buttocks, and thighs.
The HYPOXI®-Coach is integral to the success of the HYPOXI®-Method and will continually offer clients sound, practical, nutritional guidance, together with ongoing monitoring, support and motivation. All clients have key statistical data, including circumference measures and photographs taken regularly by their HYPOXI®-Coach. HYPOXI® offer a module based approach to HYPOXI®-Coach training with no one operating the HYPOXI® machines without having undertaken a full intensive 5 days of training with a qualified and highly experienced International HYPOXI® Trainer. HYPOXI®-Coach training has been continually developed and enhanced, and Sylwia Blackman successfully completed the highest level and most prestigious award of module 3 in 2014. Module 3 training was supported in person by two of HYPOXI®'s Austrian Directors who personally flew to the UK to be an integral and inspirational part of this training and assessment.
How HYPOXI® works and the results that are typically achieved.
HYPOXI® works by getting clients to gently exercise to optimise blood flow to allow the unique changes in pressure at optimum intervals to improve the circulation in fatty areas of poor predisposition, thus changing the metabolism in these areas and enabling targeted fat burn. Typically with 6 weeks of HYPOXI® training, clients lose a comfortable dress size / couple of trouser sizes, shedding 3-6kg of FAT, predominantly from those stubborn hard to get rid of areas of stomach, buttocks, hips and thighs. Typical circumference losses are reported in below when evidence of shape changes: apple to hourglass, and pear to perfect are reported. Improvements in skin tone, and overall feeling of health and wellbeing is also overwhelmingly evident following a course of HYPOXI®.
The HYPOXI®-Coach will address individual clients, with individual problems, with individual solutions to achieve results often beyond client's wildest expectations. The initial consultation with clients sets the quality of current and future support. Client concerns are understood with empathy and realistic expectations of what would be involved and the results that can be achieved with HYPOXI® are set. Potential clients will see inspirational before and after pictures of previous client bodies so they can appreciate the magnitude of change possible in various time frames. After 9 years HYPOXI® South Woodford has an impressive bank of before and after pictures of all shapes and sizes so potential clients can often spot someone with a similar body shape and size. Client confidentiality is always maintained and integrity and discretion forever paramount. Before clients experience any kit, a comprehensive medical form is completed and an unobtrusive physical / fitness check is undertaken. At the beginning of, during, and at the end of a client's HYPOXI®-Therapy course photographs are taken, circumference and weight measurements recorded, progress celebrated and future results are motivated. For example weight is recorded once a week and circumference measures are typically taken every 2 weeks. A body report is shared with a client post HYPOXI® treatment, showing that the client continued to not only maintain her weight and fat results, but actually improve them.
Normal HYPOXI®-Training would typically be 3 times per week, however curative, intensive, therapeutic or preservative programs would modify this frequency to a maximum of 5 sessions per week to a minimum of once a week.
Optimum HYPOXI® treatment is set by the HYPOXI®-Coach based on an understanding of the client's target areas for body reshaping, and machines are programmed cognisant of a clients, age, weight, and analysis of their skin, vein, and muscle. Positive and negative pressures are set to a maximum of +/- 40 millibars and aerobic training with 50-60% intensity, at a heart rate of 100-140 beats per minute according to age and fitness.
Following 30 minutes of gentle exercise on one of 3 different types of targeted fat burn machines, the HYPOXI®-Coach will be confident through ongoing monitoring that the client has had an effective treatment and will be metabolising fats in their target areas for the next 6-8 hours. During HYPOXI® training, client’s heart rates are monitored and training modified if necessary, and for the pear shapes the additional measure of a temperature increase in their thigh. Temperature in the thigh would normally drop during conventional exercise but with 30 minutes of HYPOXI®-Training our pear shaped ladies see an increase of between 3-8 degrees in their thigh, demonstrating a successful targeted fat burn session.
Clients are encouraged to eat a low GI carbohydrate 1-4 hours prior to HYPOXI® to fuel their fat metabolism, as well as drink 2-3 litres of calorie free fluids that day. Post HYPOXI®, proteins should be consumed in order to maximise the targeted fat burn. On non HYPOXI® days clients are advised to eat a healthy balanced diet avoiding processed foods and minimising sugars. Clients are supported with food diaries and meal plan ideas.
In order to maintain targeted fat burning for as long as possible after HYPOXI®-Training no sport activities should be undertaken as natural predisposition takes over after just minutes of sport and the body reverts to its natural metabolism. HYPOXI®-Training increases the metabolism and fat burning in the tissue instead of increasing fitness and musculature, so is doing a very different job to conventional exercise that would be supported on a non HYPOXI® day.
In addition to the targeted fat burn machines, HYPOXI® offer the dermology bed, which is amazing for skin tone, and delivers remarkable changes to cellulite and improvements in connective tissue. There is no risk to saggy skin, losing weight with HYPOXI®. The HDC (dermology bed) operates a similar principle to cupping massage. With 400 active pressure chambers strategically placed within the HD-Pressure suit (similar to a masseuse's 2 cups), it is exercising the skin. It is a pleasurable and relaxing treatment for clients with the benefits of oxygenating their skin, putting nutrients into their blood and improving their lymphatic system. Many client programs include 20 minutes on the HDC, followed by 30 minutes on the most appropriate targeted fat burn machine. Such a combination has proven to deliver improvements in overall skin tone, and cellulite reduction for women of all ages.
Pear shaped ladies, show legs, buttocks, hips and lower stomach as their target areas. Poor circulation in the dermal and fatty tissue layers of these problem areas give a restricted metabolism. Conventional training or diets have practically no effect on female figure types due to their unevenly distributed circulatory system and the restricted metabolism. HYPOXI® training on the S120 (upright bike encased in pod), or the L250 (lie down bike encased in a pod), perhaps in combination with the HDC will quickly and effectively reduce these targeted areas. With 6 weeks of HYPOXI® on the S120/L250, we see on average an 8cm reduction in a single stomach measurement, and 5 cm reduction in a single thigh measurement (figures concluded from a study of 100 HYPOXI® South Woodford clients 2011-2015).
For the apple shaped ladies and gentlemen, the waist nips in, the stomach reduces, and the love handles diminish achieving an all round balanced body change on the targeted area of the tummy. HYPOXI®'s vacunaut machine provides the pressure changes through a unique suit to the tummy area, whilst simply walking on a treadmill and keeping the heart rate below a certain level. On average in 6 weeks, clients will lose 8cm from a single measure through the tummy button(figures concluded from a study of 1000 HYPOXI® South Woodford clients 2010-2015). With 6 weeks of HYPOXI® (undertaking 3 sessions per week) we see an average reduction in dangerous visceral fat of 12%, and a total average fat reduction of 4.8kg (figures concluded from a study of 1000 HYPOXI® South Woodford clients 2010-2015).
Academic studies, as well as practice, show HYPOXI® to be 3-5 times more effective in terms of circumference loss versus conventional diet and exercise for the same amount of weight loss. A study conducted 23/11/10, and the subsequent paper written by Prof.Dr.med.Christoph M Bamberger of the University of Hamburg concluded that "HYPOXI® provides a scientifically proven method of systematic body fat reduction in the problem areas.".
HYPOXI® is a safe, non-invasive, effective body reshaping suitable for most
Within our HYPOXI®-Studio we have treated men and women aged 11-78. Clients who have had recent knee replacements, hip replacements, MS, ME, fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety to name but a few conditions. Clients must however, not be suffering from any severe illness of the heart, circulatory, metabolic, muscular or skeletal illness. Further contraindications include: pregnant women, those with pathological or inflamed varicose veins, those with extremely high/low blood pressure and those with any kind of pain, inflammation or infection.
Maintaining HYPOXI® results made easy!
Following a course of HYPOXI® treatment clients are encouraged to maintain the healthy balanced eating pattern they have enjoyed during their HYPOXI® course. For those we know who need additional motivation, or struggle to maintain weight loss given medication and/or medical conditions we recommend they continue with HYPOXI® training once a week. A study of HYPOXI® South Woodford clients show that 12% do weekly maintenance, 47% return on a short term ad hoc basis eg before holidays and special occasions, and the remaining 59% maintain perfectly on their own with no additional support from HYPOXI® to date.
