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
- Improved breathing in those with breathing issues.
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 like the diaphragm, 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, calibrated 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 breathing 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.

Works for people who have had collapsed lungs! Gets rid of literally 100% of the pain, which I found advertised nowhere! Also helps reduce risk of return.

Thank you for your review and we’re delighted to hear that POWERbreathe IMT has helped you, although the medical advice (in Precautions and Contraindications) is to not use IMT or EMT if you have a history of spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung that was not due to traumatic injury e.g. broken rib), as it may lead to a recurrence of the condition. We do always recommend that people check with their medical professional first, before beginning any new form of exercise if they have a medical condition, so thought it best to bring it to your attention here, as we wouldn’t want you to make yourself poorly. Best wishes, POWERbreathe
