Exalt XP is essentially a sealed, modular room that can simulate altitudes up to 20,000 feet and temperatures up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit. The core idea is to put the body through a "Goldilocks amount of stress"—enough to stimulate positive adaptation, but not so much that it causes harm or requires weeks of recovery. As Leo explains, there is a scientific concept called "eustress," which relates to the optimal amount of stress needed to bring about the best possible adaptations.
