We want YOUR opinion on getting a new program for the gym! If we have enough interested we will try to get this up and running by 1/1/26🫶🏻
The program is called MyZone. Myzone is a wearable fitness technology system that uses heart rate monitoring to track and reward effort during workouts. It provides real-time feedback on effort levels, converting workout data into Myzone Effort Points (MEPs). This system helps motivate individuals, build communities, and track progress, both in gyms and outside.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
How it works:
Heart Rate Tracking:
Myzone uses a chest strap or other compatible device to monitor heart rate.
Effort-Based System:
Instead of focusing solely on fitness level, Myzone rewards effort by assigning MEPs based on how hard your heart is working.
Real-Time Feedback:
The system provides real-time feedback on effort levels during workouts, displayed on in-gym screens and through the Myzone app.
Gamification:
Myzone uses a points system and social features to gamify fitness, encouraging users to track their progress and connect with others.
Key Features:
Myzone Effort Points (MEPs):
Points earned based on effort levels during workouts, tailored to individual heart rate zones.
Social Features:
The Myzone app allows users to follow friends, share workouts, and participate in challenges.
In-Gym Display:
Live workout data can be displayed on screens within gyms, fostering motivation and community engagement.
MZ-Open:
A feature that allows smartwatches (Apple, Google, Samsung) to connect to Myzone, expanding access to the system.
Benefits:
Increased Motivation:
The real-time feedback and gamified system can help individuals push themselves harder during workouts.
Community Building:
The social features encourage interaction and support among users.
Data-Driven Insights:
Users can track their progress and understand their workout habits over time.
In essence, Myzone is a fitness platform that uses technology to make workouts more engaging, rewarding, and connected.
MEPs stands for Myzone Effort Points, a metric used in the Myzone fitness tracking system. It represents the amount of effort exerted during a workout, measured in points.
How MEPs are Calculated:
Based on heart rate data
Higher heart rate and longer duration of exercise result in more MEPs
With this program we will be able to do weekly challenges and recognize those that really put in the effort!
Let us know what you think and if you would be interested.
Cost wise, there would be a 1 time device fee and a monthly subscription fee of $10 per person.
