GENERAL INFORMATION HYPOXI

Now you can slim down 1 size in just 4 days with the world's latest ''Healthy Body Shaping Method''.

Hypoxi is a brand new fitness and vacuum therapy that helps you burn stubborn fat in your body using 4 types of equipment and special clothing. Hypoxi is a much more natural method compared to surgical weight loss alternatives. It is applied in combination with exercises and calorie reduced diets. Since Hypoxi is a program aimed only at eliminating fat, the absence of excess fat will not yield the desired slimming results! Localized fat in the body should first be evaluated by a Hypoxi expert, after which a personalized program is created.

Prior to your Hypoxi reservations, you will receive a client information form which needs to be filled out and sent back to the hotel to be evaluated by a Hypoxi expert. If the participant has health problems that preclude the undertaking of Hypoxi treatments, is over the indicated weight limits, or fits the criteria for the ''who cannot participate'' list, reservations will not be accepted. When reservations are taken, fish, chicken, or red meat preferences should be stated for the preparation of your diet.
