Low Pressure Fitness

What Low Pressure Fitness does

Low Pressure Fitness (LPF), operated by International Hypopressive & Physical Therapy Institute S.L., is a Spanish-based training and certification company founded in 2014 in Vigo, with 58 employees. LPF sells a protocolized postural and respiratory training system inspired by hypopressive technique, combining miofascial stretching, postural reeducation, respiratory reeducation, and dynamic neural mobilization under a structured neuroeducation methodology. The company positions itself as the first standardized hypopressive training program globally, with peer-reviewed research backing and a 2015 Research & Innovation Award.

The product portfolio spans three delivery modalities — in-person training (15 hours per module), online self-paced training (100+ videos with tutor support), and live videoformación via Zoom — plus a four-level professional certification (LPF-CT) with 2-year mandatory recertification, advanced specialization courses (Wall Series, Postural Geometry), short-format workshops (LPF Embarazo, LPF Postparto), and physical fitness accessories. Pricing per level is €350, with combo packages ranging from €595 to €840 and certification exams at €95. Go-to-market is a hybrid model combining direct e-commerce sales (multi-language: Spanish, English, Portuguese) with an exclusive international distributor network covering Spain, Argentina, Brazil, USA, Mexico, UK, and Portugal, supported by installment payments via SeQura.

The primary customer segment is health and fitness professionals (physiotherapists, personal trainers, pilates/yoga instructors) who purchase training to add hypopressive services to their offerings, with a secondary end-consumer base of women seeking pelvic floor, postpartum, and menopause support. The Brazilian partnership with Companhia Atlética (the country's largest fitness chain) is the most material enterprise anchor. Revenue is generated through one-time course fees, certification/recertification fees, and product hardware sales, with no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, and founder control retained by Dr. Tamara Rial and Piti Pinsach.
