Experience Cutting-Edge Low Oxygen Training with HYROX in Japan

Unlock Your Potential with Low Oxygen HYROX Training

HYROX, a unique fitness race combining running and various workouts, is gaining popularity across the globe. To promote this innovative training method in Japan, High Altitude Management Co., Ltd., which runs Japan's first high-altitude training studio, 'High Alti,' will host a special session in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, on August 29, 2026. The event features Team Japan athlete Nakayama Wataru, who will guide participants through a free training experience in a low oxygen environment.

Event Overview

This engaging experience consists of two parts: a talk session followed by a 30-minute training session in a low oxygen setting that mimics an altitude of 2,500 meters. Participants will gain insight into the significance of aerobic capacity in enhancing HYROX performance and the benefits of low oxygen training based on Nakayama's own experiences as a competitive athlete.

The free event is open to 20 participants, with a maximum of 10 for each of the two sessions (9:30–10:30 and 11:00–12:00). Registration is required in advance, and if spaces are filled, a lottery will determine who can participate.

Meet the Expert: Nakayama Wataru

Nakayama Wataru, a prominent figure in the world of HYROX, will share his expertise during the talk session. Born in Osaka in 1991, Nakayama was initially focused on soccer before transitioning to strength training and competing in fitness contests. Over the past decade, he has made a name for himself by clinching championship titles and earning accolades at international competitions. His introduction to HYROX in 2024 marked a pivotal point in his career, leading to impressive finishes in multiple events across Asia.

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a fitness race that consists of alternating 1 km runs with eight workout stations, including SkiErg, Sled Push, and Burpee Broad Jumps. The race tests both endurance and strength, breaking the conventional boundaries of athletic challenges. With formats accommodating individuals and teams, it appeals to everyone from novices to advanced athletes, making it a starting point for many to explore their fitness potential.

Unique Features of Low Oxygen Training

The High Alti Shimokitazawa studio is set to be a landmark for HYROX training in Japan. By creating a low oxygen environment, this studio allows athletes to enhance their cardiovascular and muscular endurance efficiently, requiring lesser time and effort than traditional high-altitude training. During training, individual heart rates and oxygen saturation levels are monitored in real-time, ensuring optimal intensity tailored to each participant.

Moreover, the environment dramatically boosts oxygen demand during workouts, elevating key endurance markers like VO2 max and lactate threshold without the risks associated with actual high altitude. This method is not only appropriate for seasoned athletes but also for beginners eager to build a solid aerobic foundation.

Ongoing Benefits and Reasons to Join

Participants from various backgrounds are invited to experience this unique training opportunity. The insights gained from Nakayama's training will help attendees understand the essence of low oxygen training. After the workout, an interaction time will be set for participants to discuss their experiences and take photos with Nakayama.

To celebrate the grand opening of the High Alti Shimokitazawa flagship studio on August 25, HYROX trial experiences will be offered for free until August 31, 2026. This initiative opens up a pathway for more people to delve into this innovative form of training, regardless of their current fitness levels.

If you've ever considered participating in the HYROX race or simply want to challenge yourself with something new, this event is the perfect opportunity to start your journey into fitness under expert guidance.
