Anyone who loves OTF workouts but doesn’t need (or want) to see their name on the monitors or the linked to the screen above their treadmill should get this app. The display is easy to read with the critical information in large numbers. Coupled with the OTF color zones, you can understand your status with a quick glance. The end of the workout summary is fantastic - showing but time spent in the zones and a visual breakdown of of the workout by color. It would be nice if future version would be able to have some customization of the display screen, even with a simple swap between actual heart rate and the zone %, but that isn’t a show stopper. Also, would be good if it could do more of the settings/set-up via iPhone versus only on the watch or at least have a walk through prompt set up, especially with the haptics (on/off).

Hey there @kemmott, you can now tap on the display during a workout to toggle between BPM and zone %. Let us know what you think! suppport@pkfitness.comLook for the ability to adjust settings on the phone in a future release!

I love this app!! I use it at my OTF studio. I don’t have one of their heart rate monitors because I found this. I love that I can just see it right on my watch. It syncs up with your activity on your watch as well- for my classes it puts it in as a HIIT workout which I love that it syncs. I had this app on in my first OTF class when they let you use one of their heart rate monitors for free - and it was very accurate to what I got through them as well. You just need to calculate your max heart rate and put it in which is so easy. This seems to have been updated because the app on your phone does now save the workouts which is good to look back on. Can’t go wrong with this app! Especially if you don’t want to buy a heart rate monitor from OTF for $129 and want the same experience with the points system.

Updated review - amazing customer service & app!

After posting the initial review below, I received an email from customer support within 24 hours. I then continued to receive responses to follow-up emails within an hour or less with helpful information until my issue was resolved and app is working correctly. LOVE this app, can’t workout without it. Can’t believe that with this kind of customer service, the app is free! I would pay for this app. —I have tried using this app while wearing the watch on my wrist (series 3) and also around my bicep using an arm band. On both occasions I couldn’t get a heart rate reading - the screen just stayed stuck at 48%, even though the time kept ticking. Help!

Glad to see we got you working! We love feedback (support@pkfitness.com).
Great for OTF, kind of.

I started using this app years ago as it allowed me to use my Apple Watch and obtain the Orangetheory fitness-type experience. However, as I continued to focus more on my body and learn about health metrics, I discovered that that OTF uses their own HR Zone scale that deviates from the standard scale used by Cleveland Clinic, Harvard Health, Garmin, Polar, Apple, etc. This app uses the OTF HR Zone percentages rather than using the scientific/health community’s validated HR Zone percentages. The app also doesn’t allow adjustment based on Lactate Threshold. So, if you buy-in to OTF and only plan to focus on their system, this app will closely match OTF’s and you will have a great experience. Personally, I think OTF got it wrong here and this app is following the wrong formula. I’d rather follow my true HR Zone rather than OTF’s custom HR Zones.

Thanks for your review. Based on your feedback and others, Orange Zones now supports a variety of industry standard zone model and even the ability to customize you own model. The latest version with this support is version 1.61.0. We have you will give this a try and let us know what you think. Since it's just been released, it may not be available in your territory yet. If you don't see version 1.61.0 as an option to update to, delete the app on your phone and watch and then re-install it from the App store. This should force an update to the 1.61.0 with custom zones support. Again, thank you for your review. support@pkfitness.com
