Diplo has all of the toys you’d expect (cold plunge, sauna, hyperbaric chamber) and some you wouldn’t. He recently had the engineers at Hypoxico build an altitude chamber large enough to fit his Peloton, so he can simulate riding at 10,000 feet.“People think I’m just, like, a drug addict or something because I’m a DJ,” says Diplo, who…
