HAVE QUESTIONS? WE HAVE ANSWERS!
Naturally, you will have questions about the HYPOXI training system – perhaps even doubts! Below are our most commonly answered questions. For more information, please browse our Press Releases section where you can read independent magazines have to say about us, or check out our Before & After Results Gallery of our previous clients and their amazing results.
What sort of results can I expect to achieve?
Naturally, results are going to vary between each individual. However as a guide, from a random sample of 100 clients, not one individual lost less than 12cm in total circumference from the lower half of the body over 12 treatments. A controlled study conducted on the effects of HYPOXI training concluded, that individuals using HYPOXI lost 3 times more circumference in the lower half of the body than those that carried out conventional exercise. That is, with HYPOXI training we can dictate/isolate where the majority of fat will be lost while exercising.
The greatest benefits of HYPOXI training is the ability to lose weight in the right areas. The effects of the combined positive and negative pressure phases are profound and have resulted in some clients seeing up to 90% improvement in cellulite, not to mention between 15cm to 45cm in total circumference loss over 12 sessions.
What are the potential benefits?
The usual benefits experienced are:
- Fat loss in the stomach, hip, buttock and thigh regions
- Marked improvement in skin tone and texture
- Increased fat metabolism
- Improved circulation
- Detoxification
- Lymphatic drainage
- A feeling of rejuvenation
- Reduced appearance of cellulite
Is HYPOXI training dangerous?
No, all HYPOXI sessions are completely safe. HYPOXI training is designed for men and women of all fitness levels and ages. Throughout the treatment, your heart rate and skin temperature are constantly monitored. HYPOXI Training does not require any particular degree of physical fitness and is perfect for someone who is thinking about getting back into exercise for the first time in years. You will be required to complete a client information form when you attend your studio, as there are certain illnesses & conditions which preclude people from undertaking treatments. If in doubt, we recommend you speak to a medical professional – your safety is paramount to us.

How do I start HYPOXI?
Initially, you will need to book into your closest studio for a consultation in order for us to assess your requirements and objectives. This session is also an opportunity to learn more about this unique system and go through the training schedule. Just let us know if you are closer to Burleigh or Southport, we have early morning, evening & Saturday appointments.
-
Is it painful?
No, it is completely non-invasive and pain free. HYPOXI is a low impact training method and the horizontal position in the L250 and HYPOXI-DERMOLOGY machines takes pressure off the joints. If you are doing VACUNAUT sessions you will never be walking at more than a brisk pace. If you haven’t ridden a pushbike for a while the upright S120 seat can take a few sessions to get used to.
-
How many times per week should HYPOXI be undertaken?
For optimal results, HYPOXI training should be done consistently 3 times per week for at least 4 weeks. It is advisable to have an even spread throughout the week, however this is not mandatory. For best results during the initial HYPOXI - Training, the HYPOXI-Method dictates 3 sessions a week for 4 weeks (total of 12 sessions). However, this is dependent on your weight loss goals. Plan on 12-24 sessions per clothing size you are aiming to lose. Many clients continue to do 3 sessions a week for 3-6 months. After you have reached your goal, you can choose to move to a long term maintenance plan that is 1-2 HYPOXI sessions per week.
-
How much does it cost?
HYPOXI sessions are very reasonably-priced when compared to other fitness services & cellulite treatments on the market for the results that you achieve. The return on investment with HYPOXI is high when you compare the time and money invested compared to the results. The recommended retail price is $69 per session, or $690 for a course of 12 sessions or $1180 for the 12 session HYPOXI-DERMOLOGY combination course. After your initial programme we have long term memberships to save you money. Direct debit payment plans to spread the cost of your programme are available if you don’t want to pay up front.
-
How long does a HYPOXI session take?
HYPOXI is perfect for the time poor because each session only takes 30 minutes to achieve optimal fat-burning results. The HYPOXI-DERMOLOGY is only 20 minutes which means if you use it in conjunction with a HYPOXI - Training device you can still be in and out in under an hour!

How long before I will see results?
You will have your measurements taken at your first, 6th session and final session. By your 6th session, the majority of clients will be starting to see results.
-
What if I am not seeing results?
If after your 6th session you have not seen any results – be persistent & consistent. Every individual body is different. It is important to review your nutrition and ensure you are following the nutritional guidelines as outlined. Are you following all of the guidelines we issued? Are you getting enough sleep? Drinking 2 litres of water? Avoiding excessive alcohol? All of these factors can affect your results.
-
Can I still do other forms of exercise?
Absolutely! Doing HYPOXI - Training does not mean you need to stop your other exercise. We encourage you to live an active lifestyle. However, to achieve maximum results whilst undergoing HYPOXI, you should not participate in any exercise on your HYPOXI-Training days. Plan your other exercise activities for your non-HYPOXI days.
-
Will I lose weight in other areas of the body?
What makes HYPOXI so unique is that it is targeted weight and fat loss around the hips, bottom, thighs and tummy. Because you are doing aerobic exercise and following a healthy eating plan you will no doubt see incidental fat loss in other areas such as the chest and arms, and improved skin texture across your body as a result of better circulation, however the largest cm loss will be in the targeted areas ie. hips, bottom, stomach, thighs.
-
What if I am pregnant?
HYPOXI does not allow pregnant women to undergo HYPOXI treatments. If you do fall pregnant whilst undergoing HYPOXI, don’t worry, you can suspend your treatment package until you are 12 weeks post birth to continue your training when you need it.
