MyZone

What is Myzone?

Myzone aims to help people feel-good about exercise through technology. Myzone is a world renowned heart rate training ecosystem that uses heart rate monitors, in-gym screens, and a training app to create a connected fitness experience powered by personal effort, accurate tracking and real-time feedback.

Myzone is unique in that it tracks your effort. Effort is different for all of us, so when we work out, we should be rewarded for what we put in. Myzone Effort Points (MEPs) are tailored to how hard your heart is working, not just your fitness level or ability, and they're based on your individual heart rate zones. Myzone calculates your individual heart rate data and splits it into five zones. Each zone represents a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Every time you move, you’ll earn MEPs for every minute you’re in a zone.

Join live in class gym boards by simply scanning a QR code with a smartphone when you enter one of our Malta, Saratoga Springs or Wilton branch classroom. Members can easily monitor calories burned, current effort level, heart rate, and MEPs. By viewing your live tile, you can easily see whether you should be working harder or giving yourself a rest.

The Myzone app offers an inclusive community fueled by physical activity, fitness and well-being with the heart rate monitor that rewards effort over ability. Build your own community among your family, friends, classmates and fitness enthusiasts around the world. The Myzone app uses game-based mechanics and social elements to prove time and time again that we’re stronger together. The app creates personalized zones based on your maximum heart rate, which means anyone can compete together on a level playing field.
