What is the Zone?
Our members would often tell us that they wished we had a way of tracking their effort levels from each session. They also wanted to know how many calories they were burning during the sessions and how this compared to others. For a while, we scratched our heads and then the answer struck us…MyZone
Why don’t we just get in the Zone?
MyZone to be exact!
So What is MyZone?
In essence, MyZone is a new wearable technology system that you can use inside AND OUTSIDE of the gym that helps you workout in the right zones for your goals.
It is also a great way of keeping you accountable as you can be tracked from the gym facility and you can challenge yourself to a monthly points total or even challenge others if you dare.
MyZone is run from a small tablet and everyone in the gym is displayed on a large TV screen so everyone can see how hard your working (or not as the case may be)…
All Or Nothing
You see, a number of our gym members had the ALL or NOTHING mentality, and they believed that the only way to train was to get as much of a sweat on as possible and to push themselves to breakpoint each time.
But all that this did was to run them into the ground.
We have advocated for as long as I can remember that not all fitness needs to be done at 100% intensity in order to create a MASSIVE change.
In fact, most training should be done between 70-85% of your maximum heart rate.
And the information, stats, and feedback helps us make better/ more informed decisions about how hard to push our clients and when to take the foot off the gas.
Accountability
The resounding feedback we have had informs us that the MyZone belts help to keep people accountable too as people will work as planned when wearing the belts and the accumulation of points turns an activity into a game, with leaderboards and prizes to be won monthly.
This has developed the competitive streak in some and has fostered a number of friendly rivalries too ?
Another added bonus of the MyZOne system is that you can use it out of the gym and it will sync back up with the main computer when in range in the gym.
This works well for 2 reasons:
- It gets people out and about for walks, runs, swims, bike rides etc
- Plus it also has people eager to get to the gym so their belt calibrates with the gym mainframe to update their scores.
All in all, it is a brilliant system and it has helped us to foster an even closer community spirit, help to keep people more accountable and make the sessions even more fun that it already is…!
If you’re keen to train in an environment that fosters all these attributes whilst making exercise fun and turning it into a friendly and healthy game that you can compete in then get in touch.
