The Breather Fit Respiratory Lung Trainer | Improve Breathing & Recovery | Strengthen Lungs | Boost Endurance & Performance | Guided Coaching App Included

This is really a great product. After doing the online class it took 20 minutes off my walking time around the course I walk. Started with pretty low 90's O2 while at rest. The Lung exercise inhale and exhale helped unbelievably.

I recently tried The Breather Fit Respiratory Lung Trainer, and it's been a game-changer for my breathing and overall fitness. The device is simple to use and helps strengthen respiratory muscles, improving lung capacity and endurance. I’ve noticed a significant difference in my stamina during workouts and even in my daily activities. It’s compact and portable, making it easy to incorporate into my routine. If you’re looking to improve your breathing or boost your athletic performance, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Product works as described. I didn’t have any problems with the application. It does take some time getting used to the pace but it is beneficial and informative. I definitely recommend as I have been using it for about a week and notice a difference.

I'm a speech language pathologist who has used expiratory muscle strength training with some of my patients with swallowing disorders. When I heard about the Breather Fit during a continuing education unit (the presenter wasn't affiliated with the company and discusssed a variety of products from various manufacturers), I was curious and decided to check it out since I am also a recreational runner.The breather fit is both an IMST (inspiratory muscle strength) and an EMST (expiratory muscle strength) devuce. I found that the research on respiratory muscle strength training for athletes primarily focuses on inspiratory muscle strength and has generally found modest improvements in various areas including performance, although the research is far less compelling than the use of EMST in swallowing.I was still curious, so I purchased a Breather Fit, and I've been following the protocol for 2 weeks, since March 10th.Above, I have attached my Garmin watch's estimate of my VO2 max. Watches are not particularly good at calculating a precise VO2 max, so take the above with a grain of salt. You will see that coming off a long winter of dealing with snow, ice, and an injury, I had lost some fitness. Starting within days of when I began using the Breather Fit I regained it and then some. It should also be noted that I started training harder at that time as well, so it's impossible to say how much of the gains were due to the breather fit vs. training. I will say that my estimated VO2 max is higher than it was even at peak training a couple years ago, and I am noticing less perceived exertion at a given pace.Now for the product itself. It does work as advertised for me, although as others have mentioned it feels a little bit cheap in the hand. My main concern is that the protocol specifies that you should be working at a seven or eight out of 10 exertion level. After 2 weeks, even with the Breather Fit on the settings to provide the most resistance, it's too easy unless I cup my hand around the intake and output ports to provide additional resistance. For reference, I'm a woman in my late 30s, living and training at 5,000 ft.The app leaves a lot to be desired. It does a decent job of walking you through your daily exercises by telling you when to breathe in and breathe out and timing your 1 minute rest break between sets. However, for the first time in my life I have actually sort of wanted some notifications; it doesn't have the ability to remind you to do your exercises, although it can email you if you miss a few days. The protocol also specifies that you should not use the breather fit on days that you compete or have a hard work out, but there's no way to tell it that you're skipping a day for that reason, which is annoying if like me you enjoy seeing a perfect streak. As you can see in the screenshot above, the handy little infographic showing you how many tasks you've completed and how many breaths you've taken doesn't work, as I've done all of my sets for today but it's still saying zero. Contrary to some of the older reviews, however, there is an Android app.All in all, I would say that this product is worth checking out if you're an athlete looking for that extra little edge or just easier-feeling workouts It's not a miracle device (don't look for me in the 2024 Summer Olympics), but it may be that boost you need if you want to eek out a PR this year.

I am a 59 year old woman with asthma. Im a gardener so I am in good (but certainly not excellent) shape. I think anyone in normal shape could use this device. Why buy the blue one, then spend more to 'step up' to the black one? (Its a marketing ploy.) The device itself is great. Easy to use, fully adjustble, easy to clean, and most imprtantly, its EFFECTIVE. One thing to note is that the exhale side looks like the photo. I thought it might be missing a piece but it wasnt.

I really like that it helps to train both the inhale and the exhale. I have used it for a couple of months and feel that it does create more strength and volume in my diaphragm. What I did find that I didn't like was that if I followed the app I found that I was pushing to do it longer and a bit harder than I was comfortable with. I started to get headaches after I used it. I may just turn it down to the lowest setting and do 15 or 20 breaths in the morning at my own pace. I think the pace that they have on the app may not be for everyone. Also the intensity levels in my opinion may not be realistic for many people if not all people. For example I tried it once at their highest/hardest setting and I felt that I was engaging muscles that were not necessary to engage in order to breathe that hard. Wasn't sure that there would be any functional value to strengthening at that level. Could not think of any real world examples that would require that level of breath intensity. Perhaps unless one was studying to become an air compressor?;)

I upgraded to the Breather Fit from the Pink Breather, and it has made a noticeable difference in my breathing. The increased resistance levels are a great challenge, and I can feel my lung strength improving with each session. It's perfect for anyone looking to take their respiratory training to the next level. The design is still easy to use, and the guided app continues to be helpful. Highly recommend for those serious about improving their breathing fitness!
