Brush off those MyZone chest straps. It is about that time! Starting on April 1, 2023 we will be starting our challenge to hit 2300 meps in the month of April.
Why get a heart rate monitor at DCF? What we like about MyZone that is different from using your watch or another system like Polar or Garmin is that we can integrate it into our gym and have your heart rate for you to be able to monitor while you work out as well as watch how quickly you recover from efforts as you work to hit the stimulus in your workout.
Price? Our monitors are priced below what it would cost for you to get a fancy watch or Garmin or buy online at Amazon. It is $125 for you our members. MyZone also needs a facility code for it to work so if you do choose to buy online you would need to ask a coach to do so.
What does it do?
It will monitor the zones you are in and you get points for which zones you are in through different workouts. Certain cardio will get you in to red and some are more toward yellow, green or blue. When you purchase one every workout you complete you will receive an email that will give you are readout of what you did during the time it was on your chest. Each zone and for how long and your points for each workout and an average heart rate percentage.
How does it calculate percentage?
There is a standard algorithm that determines max heart rate for individuals and MYZONE will also automatically calibrate as you get more fit to determine your actual max based on your age and other factors that it will learn over time as you do more workouts.
Why get a MyZone I have a watch?! All the wearable technology is constantly adapting and getting better. We at DCF love to test out new technology as it comes out. Whoop we have used it. Oura? Yep we have used it for a few years as well. Chest straps like Garmin or Polar? Absolutely. What we like is that MYZONE is for DCF and the community aspect as well as knowing that chest straps are more accurate overall. Our Myzone’s come with a charger and three options for straps for wearing on your chest, bicep or wrist.
