Your Breathing Is Holding You Back.

Here's How to Fix It.

Most breathing trainers make you dizzy, lightheaded, and force you to stop – because they don’t control your CO2 levels.

ISOCAPNIC is the only breath trainer that keeps your CO2 perfectly balanced while strengthening both your inhalation and exhalation muscles.

The result: over 200% improvement in high-output breathing control, backed by peer-reviewed science.

What is a Breathing Trainer
and Why Does Yours Matter?

Your respiratory muscles - the diaphragm, intercostals, and accessory breathing muscles - are just like any other muscle in your body. Train them, and they get stronger. Neglect them, and they become your weakest link.

A breathing trainer puts those muscles under progressive resistance, the same way a barbell challenges your legs or a pull-up bar challenges your back. The difference is that most breathing trainers only train one direction - inhalation or exhalation - and none of them control your CO2 levels while you work.

That's where ISOCAPNIC is different. It's the only trainer that strengthens both your inhale and exhale muscles simultaneously, while keeping your CO2 perfectly balanced so you can train harder, longer, and safer than anything else on the market.

Bigger Lungs

Train your respiratory muscles consistently and your lung volumes grow. More capacity means more oxygen delivered to working muscles - which translates directly to better endurance, faster recovery, and the ability to sustain higher outputs for longer.

More Endurance

When your breathing muscles fatigue, your body diverts blood flow away from your legs and arms to keep you breathing - a phenomenon called the metaboreflex. ISOCAPNIC training delays that point, keeping more blood where it counts and extending your performance ceiling.

Breath Strength

Stronger respiratory muscles mean more powerful, controlled breaths under pressure. Whether you're sprinting to a finish line, grinding through a final WOD, or managing a respiratory condition, breath strength is the difference between pushing through and being forced to stop.

Gas Exchange

ISOCAPNIC trains your body to work efficiently at higher CO2 levels, improving your tolerance and your ability to extract oxygen under stress. The result: less breathlessness, better energy production, and faster recovery between efforts.

Just a few weeks of practice but I already feel a change in running. Heart rate is lover on very easy runs. On the other side I get it up higher in hard running but still doesn’t feel like the heart rate is so high. Very interesting and love to see what happens after a longer period. I’m now at Master World Championship in Gothenburg running several races and have it with me so I can keep up my practice

I think it’s a great tool for a lot of different things. I’ve connected some athletes with it to use for respiratory warm ups, intervals, race days warm ups, and post viral recovery.

Been using BWB for a few years now. Super simple! Compact and easy to travel with. I use it everyday as part of my daily training routine. I also get a ton of benefit to using it at altitude. Thanks Coach Luke, Dr Sellars and the Isocapnic team for all the help! Best in the world!!
