Herriott Sports Performance is the only training facility in the Pacific Northwest to offer respiratory muscle training. We use the Spirotiger Respiratory Trainer and are proud to be the Pacific Northwest distributor for Spirotigers.

Respiratory Training is the latest innovation in training. Until the creation of the Spirotiger, it was impossible to safely selectively train the respiratory system for endurance. The only way to challenge the system was through the musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary systems. This device is the only respiratory trainer that works for endurance. Other systems focus on resistance, which is analogous to weight lifting rather than endurance training. Studies have shown up to 50% increase in endurance for untrained individuals and 10% increase for trained athletes. Regular use of the Spirotiger has been shown the following results:

• Substantial increase of endurance and performance.
• Improved top performance in all phases of competition.
• Improved metabolic processes.
• Shortened recovery times during and after events.
• Delayed lactate production.
• Improved of coordination of the respiratory system under stress.
• Energetically efficient breathing under stress.
• Elimination or threshold increase of stress asthma.
• Improved oxygen supply to the skeletal muscles, also under stress.
• Complement to or partial replacement of interval training.
• Training that is non-stressful to the heart and cardiovascular system.
• Personal control of performance development.
