Healthy, strong breathing muscles make breathing easier. When breathing becomes easier, you will feel fitter, reduce the symptoms of breathing conditions and enhance your sporting performance. You can achieve this by strengthening your diaphragm with breathing training using the POWERbreathe Classic Medium Resistance device.
Benefits of inspiratory muscle training with the POWERbreathe Classic include:
- Improved sports performance
- More energy with less effort
- Faster recovery after exercise
- Reduce heart rate and blood pressure
- Improve symptoms of COPD, heart failure, asthma, COVID, stroke and more
Strengthen your diaphragm- Breathing training with the POWERbreathe Classic Medium Resistance strengthens your diaphragm rather than your lungs. This is because your lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs, and not muscle, and so cannot be strengthened.
9 adjustable levels- The breathing device has 9 levels of resistance – you move up to the next level when the resistance no longer challenges you. The range between each training level is broader than that offered by the light resistance model.
As your breathing muscles become stronger and you move up one of the training levels by increasing the resistance, there is a larger increase in cmH2O, making training more of a challenge.
The device offers a ‘medium resistance’ to breathing in, provided by the adjustable spring loaded valve. This ‘load’ training is similar to weightlifting, and provides a variable level of load setting (weight lifted) in increments of 20cmH2O, from 10cmH2O to 170cmH2O.
Results after 4-6 weeks- If you persistently follow the training regime of 30 breaths, twice a day you should see results in 4-6 weeks. You will feel less breathless during exertion and have increased stamina.
This is scientifically proven. Learn more about how the POWERbreathe IMT device works in our guide.
Trusted brand- The POWERbreathe Classic is the first breathing trainer we developed and it’s still as popular as when we first introduced it. Over the last 20 years, POWERbreathe has created innovative breathing products which have improved people’s health and wellness.

Hi Barbara and thank you for your message. Would you like to send an email to enquiries@powerbreathe.com letting them know which POWERbreathe IMT device you have and how you feel after using it and they should be able to advise you. It may simply be that you’re training too hard, on a higher load than your breathing muscles are able to cope with at the moment. But it’s better if there’s a conversation and with email it can be done with more privacy for you. Hope that helps. Thank you.

I’m not sure. I feel worse after using the Powerbreathe or any breathing gadget and I don’t know why.

The benefits of training the lungs in this way is immeasurable
When I informed my consultants/doctors that I had purchased one they were pleased and spoke of the benefits of using it. However, they did not offer to prescribe. There needs to be a bigger campaign to bring Powerbreathe equipment and training to the health industry. My awareness of it was only because of my involvement in the fitness industry. The benefits of training the lungs in this way is immeasurable! I have found excellent results and recommend it to anyone who has breathing difficulties or those who wish to increase their lung capacity for sport or fitness. Let’s get Powerbreathe equipment/training recognised and widely available in treatment plans for people who struggle to breathe!!
