Respiratory Fitness blends the knowledge of physiology, performance, and behavior modification to address the needs of a diverse group of people, but because of my specific background, we focus on competitive world-class athletes, people suffering with chronic pain, sports performance, workplace performance, toastmasters/public speaking, people interested in enhanced personal health and performance, birthing mothers, improved productivity in the workplace, people with chronic health issues, and most importantly, informing the general public about respiration and breathing’s profound impact on people’s health and performance in their everyday lives!
Respiratory Fitness
Respiratory Fitness Inc. was founded and incorporated in 2009 in New York City, USA. The company was established based on The Breathing Sciences, where the combining of textbook physiology with textbook behavioral psychology and the use of capnography instrumentation would provide an effective means of working with performance and health in people of all ages and needs.
The use of CapnoTrainer instrumentation was first established by founder, Alexander Stewart, in 2007.
Respiratory Fitness Inc. is now Respiratory Fitness LLC., New York City, USA.
Respiratory Fitness Institute AS was established in 2013. The Oslo, Norway based company was formed to serve the needs of the Scandinavian marketplace in response to the demand for breathing education which RFI responded to by introducing and educating about the uses and applications of the Applied Breathing Sciences.
Mission

Capnography and the use of CapnoTrainer
Our use of capnography (CapnoTrainer) as an established part of our work with the Breathing Sciences gives us a powerful tool that provides a direct means to determining whether or not, if, when, where, and how dysfunctional breathing habits may be present and to what extent the performance and/or health may be compromised.
Our use of the CapnoTrainer instrumentation is a carryover from the US based company, Respiratory Fitness LLC, (formerly Respiratory Fitness Inc.), and was first implemented in 2007.
