Elgi Equipments, renowned for its air compressor manufacturing expertise, has joined forces with AIRLAB Fitness in Miami to create a state-of-the-art high-altitude training environment. This innovative setup, fueled by Elgi’s EG37 Series screw air compressor, offers AIRLAB’s clientele accelerated endurance and recovery benefits. AIRLAB’s selection of Elgi’s solution was due to its precise air composition control and reliable performance backed by Elgi’s UPTiME promise.
Elgi Equipments, a global air compressor manufacturing leader, has transformed AIRLAB Fitness, based in Miami, into an innovative studio offering high-altitude-like training environments. Utilising ELGi’s EG37 Series screw air compressors in conjunction with Altitude Training Systems’ hypoxic chambers, AIRLAB can simulate various altitude levels for enhanced endurance and quicker recovery. ELGi’s commitment to reliability and maintenance support ensures AIRLAB can prioritise their fitness services without concern for equipment upkeep.
Varun Jay Varadaraj, Co-CEO of AIRLAB Fitness, highlighted the company’s ethos of “Train high, live low” as fundamental to their training regime. He emphasised the significance of ELGi’s contribution, stating that their efficient air system allowed them to leverage Miami’s unique environment, pushing their members to new heights while ensuring swift recovery. Varun expressed his gratitude for ELGi’s reliable support, which has been instrumental in AIRLAB’s operational success and growth, particularly appreciating the reduced need for them to become compressed air maintenance experts.
“The high-quality and energy-efficient compressed air system from ELGi translated to lower operating costs, a vital aspect for a start-up like ours. With their uptime guarantee, we are assured of continuous support. Thanks to the unwavering support we received, I don’t feel the pressure of becoming an expert in compressed air and compressor maintenance. As a new business with a growing clientele, operational efficiency is crucial to our continued success”, shared Varun.
Compressed air is essential for simulating a high-altitude environment in AIRLAB Fitness’s hypoxic chamber. This process involves taking regular air and adjusting its oxygen levels to mimic conditions found at higher elevations, essentially by enriching the air with nitrogen. North American ELGi subsidiary Pattons provided the necessary compressor and equipment, enhancing the hypoxic technology developed by Altitude Training Systems (ATS), a division of Pulford Air & Gas under ELGi in Australia.
Scott Sutton, Vice President of ELGi Distribution Operations, commented on the synergy between ELGi’s air technology and AIRLAB’s fitness innovation, underscoring their dedication to fulfilling the unique needs of diverse businesses. Ramesh Ponnuswami, Executive Director at Elgi Equipments Limited, praised ATS’s hypoxic training solutions for their effectiveness in establishing the ideal conditions for AIRLAB’s specialized fitness programs, propelling the studio to excellence.
The EG Series EG37-125 compressor from ELGi, selected for its flow capability, cubic feet per minute (CFM) rating, and energy efficiency, proved to be a game-changer for AIRLAB Fitness. This model facilitated the creation of a controlled altitude environment swiftly and economically, allowing the studio to simulate various atmospheric conditions. Assistance from Industrial Air Centers, ELGi’s distributing partner in Florida, enabled a swift setup and service with AIRLAB operational in a single day.
ELGi’s air compression solutions have been crucial for AIRLAB Fitness, simulating reduced oxygen levels characteristic of high altitudes by modifying ambient air in hypoxic chambers. This technology is integral in creating a challenging workout environment that accelerates endurance and recovery. Pattons, an ELGi subsidiary, provided the necessary equipment, enhancing the studio’s offerings with a reliable and energy-efficient system. The ELGi EG Series compressor was chosen for its optimal flow, efficiency, and ability to meet the studio’s operational demands within a tight timeframe, ensuring AIRLAB’s quick transition to business readiness.
