HYPOXI is the first weight loss concept to incorporate a workout with advanced vacuum and compression technology to achieve real and sustainable results. Since it's official release in Australia in 2005, HYPOXI has received glowing reviews on A Current Affair, in Madison, Elle, Vogue, New Idea, Who Weekly, OK, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar and Men's Style (just to name a few). This has resulted in an increased awareness about the benefits of HYPOXI over conventional exercise and has prompted a sharp increase in demand. This environment presents a rare commercial opportunity for prospective franchisees to service this over-demand and develop a solid client base. HYPOXI was developed in 1999 by a team of Austrian doctors who recognised the growing need for a natural and scientific approach to cellulite and fat loss. Today, HYPOXI has established itself as a global leader in innovative weight loss systems and is operated in over 50 countries worldwide. HYPOXI® Australia (a division of Ardent Leisure) is the licensed distributor for the HYPOXI technology throughout Australia and New Zealand. The studio network across Australia and New Zealand consists of over 80 studios (independently owned, and company owned); including both stand-alone HYPOXI studios, as well as specialist health, fitness and beauty businesses who have introduced HYPOXI in to their existing service offering.
