What is MyZone, and how does it work?

MyZone is an innovative wearable heart rate monitor that uses wireless and cloud technology to track your physical activity.

Strap on the belt during a workout and it tracks your heart rate, calories burned, and time exercising. It then converts these into MyZone Effort Points (MEPs).

The focus is on effort rather than fitness, giving you a more accurate view of how effective your session has been. The belt connects to an app so that you can stream your activity, upload your data, and review your results from your smartphone.

You’ll be able to monitor your activity calendar, workout graphs, and set challenges, as well as upload personal before and after photos.

When would you use MyZone?

On your own or with a friend - One of the great things about MyZone is that you can use it on your own for motivation (and to see how much effort you’re putting in).

You can use it with a friend as the app allows you to set goals along with other users. With this you can encourage and monitor each other’s progress. The social accountability will keep you on track and earning badges and climbing status rankings also keeps you focused.

Working with a personal trainer

Using MyZone with a personal trainer is extremely useful as it lets your trainer track your progress and effort even when they are not there. Information is streamed directly to your trainer, so they can access your information remotely when they need to.

The tracker also allows your trainer to track your effort levels over a long period of time. This gives accurate data to compare against previous workouts so they can see how you are improving.

In a group exercise class

Hook up to the club system, letting your information be streamed onto a screen alongside other class members. This is extremely motivational as you can track your effort levels and heart rate throughout the class.

You can also use MyZone playing tennis or any other sport, to track your progress.

Types of MyZone classes

The MZ-Burn program centres around 5 different cardio stations to provide variety and to cater for all ages and fitness levels.
