My company has just aquired two altitude chambers from Colorado Altitude Training. Obviously I plan to use them to help the athletes we coach, but I would also like to rent them to generate additional revenue. What would be a reasonable price to charge for rental of a chamber? Have any other coaches rented the chambers out before? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

I would rent it for $50 for a week if that helps.

Just throwing a consumer's view point atcha.

Check www.hypoxico.com as they have rental prices for the nitrogen tent

Are you ordering a real altitude chamber, is it pressurized?

Or is it a nitrogen tent

How much does a shot of EPO run these days? Two weeks in a tent should be the equiv, right?

My tents are by CAT and the air unit pumps hypoxic (low oxygen) air into the tent.

The advantage over EPO is that a lab can't test your six year old urine for hypoxic tent use.
