MyZone Heart Rate Training Intro
Where: Get Fit NH Concord
When: Saturday February 28th, 2015
Time: 9:00am
Our clients in Epsom have been using the Polar Team system for quite a few months now, and Coach Nancy has done a phenomenal job of integrating heart rate training into the overall Get Fit NH training model. The Polar Team system is a very good system, however as we looked at bringing heart rate monitoring and training into Get Fit NH Concord, we discovered Polar was discontinuing the Team system and working on other offerings. We looked into the new systems a number of months ago, and just were not satisfied the technology and software platform was right for us. Our search for new platforms brought us to MYZONE and we will explain what MYZONE is in a minute. First here is what Epsom student’s have to say about their success with the Polar system:
“I like to see exactly where I am at. Sometimes we are not always good at judging if we are working hard enough to get the heart rate up. I also like to see where others are at to see how I compare. As my fitness increases, I need to do more to get my heart rate in the red… so being able to see it helps to know for sure. I like seeing the report later to look for the peaks. I also like seeing that even when I work super hard I am able to recover faster, even than a few months back. This is part of my overall goal so I can do more outside of training with running, hiking etc.

“At first I was a bit skeptical about using the heart monitor while working out because it was new, but after wearing it for some time during training, I realized it was very helpful to me. It allowed me to check how fast my heart was responding to the amount of effort I was putting into the specific exercise I was doing, whether I needed to slow down or pick it up. I also like the visual of having a numbers on the projector so I could see if I was in the red, yellow, or green to help me when I need to adjust my workout pace. It has become important for me to use on a daily basis.
-Doreen Mathison”
“The heart rate monitor has been a great addition to my training. It has given me more awareness of how my heart is performing during training. I’m able to see how fast my heart rate climbs and then how quickly I’m can calm it back down between sets which has become a game in itself for me. Recently, I had to visit the doctor for some heart related concerns. I explained that I trained during the week but rather than leaving it at “I train” I came prepared with printouts of the training report I’m emailed and my doctor was able to see how my heart was performing during exercise. This was very valuable in helping my doctor understand what was going on and in turn provide proper treatment for me. – Amy R.”
“I love using the heart rate monitor. It confirms to me when I am working to my fullest potential. Without the heart rate monitor I thought I was giving it my all but this keeps me in check. Thanks – Lori P”
“Heart Monitors…really?? OK no problem nobody will see it but me. Boy was I wrong…. there it was up on the wall for all to see. Do I mind wearing the heart monitor, not really. Do I like seeing it up on the wall, not at all. Ok let’s get to the point. I have been an active person all my life and all my life my heart has raced when working out, playing sports etc. I had a stress test years ago and the Dr’s could not find anything wrong. No Dr ever saw what I was feeling. But thanks to the heart monitor and the fancy fancy graphs that are emailed to us I was able to print them out and take them to my Dr. After looking at my graphs and going through some tests I was finally diagnosed with SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardic). An electrical condition I was born with. My graphs can be emailed right to my Dr so I can be monitor by them. So to wrap this up the heart monitors are the reason why after many, many years of no answers the Dr’s were able to figure out what was going. Heart Monitors…really!! Yes really, it is a win win. – Kathy C.”
As you can see our Epsom student’s have not only had great success with their heart rate training, it has also helped their doctors with diagnosis and treatment. We are excited to role this out and get all of our student’s on board!
So What is MYZONE?
MYZONE is a tracking device that rewards EFFORT for all physical activity, both inside and outside of the gym. The MYZONE physical activity belt displays HEART RATE, EFFORT LEVEL and calories in real time, while automatically storing all exercise, goals and results in a personalized online profile.
Why MYZONE?
We know that when you get positive feedback, it’s a lot easier to stay motivated. This feedback helps keep you on track, and staying on track delivers the RESULTS you want. It is one more way we can measure progress and make sure your training is effective.
Live Feedback Inside The Gym
When you wear your MYZONE Physical Activity Belt at the gym, your information will be instantly streamed on the overhead in the form of color coded, easy-to-read tiles, showing you in real time the effort required to get the results you want.
Live Feedback Outside The Gym
With the option MZ-50 watch, you can take your training on the go, allowing you to get the most out of your activity outside the gym.
The MYZONE Lite App
All your MYZONE activity in the palm of your hand. Using your smartphone, you can monitor your activity calendar, training graphs, and challenges. You can even upload before and afters and keep a picture food log. Through the web interface you can also set and track personalized goals, challenge your friends and share your progress through Facebook and Twitter.
Guys I am stoked about bringing MYZONE to Get Fit NH. I have used other systems, such as a FitBit and other heart rate monitors, but they never really jazzed me up that much. I could never really tell if I was doing what it takes to get the training effect I need from a particular session to get results. MYZONE solves that challenge.
Getting Started
We will be rolling out MYZONE at Get Fit NH Concord first, as Epsom is already enjoying their heart rate monitor training using Polar Team. We will get the system rolling smoothly, and then evaluate the Epsom timeline. Please join us Saturday February 28th at 9 AM to learn more about this system and how it will benefit you and your training. There will be live demonstrations at each training time starting next week!
Ok, so how much?
This is a super affordable solution as well. Most other devices on the market are upwards of $100 or more. During our initial rollout your MYZONE activity belt will only be an investment of $55.00, and if you want an MZ-50 watch we can order those for only $39.00 each. We will even cover the shipping!

I had the opportunity to attend the Captain’s Breakfast a few weeks back, and I wish you all could have been there. Shawn Riley, Team Captain of “Steph Strong” told the story of his wife Stephanie, who died shortly after Christmas after a courageous battle with cancer. She participated in the race last year, and this year she is gone. As I sat there through the tears and laughter as he shared the story of the love of his life, with their young daughter watching her brave daddy, I could not help but think “What if that was me?”
