I decided over almost 2 years ago to buy the heart monitor because my gym was selling it and because people were getting a better work out from actively tracking their HR DURING their workout, not after. Yeah there’s a small lag time, but it’s so small by the time I look up I know where I am and what I need to do. Fast forward and I’m not at my gym now but completely understand my zones and where I need to be for what I want to accomplish. My Ymca is using this as their monitor and even though I don’t go often to the Y I feel good knowing I have it. I bought a Peloton bike a few months ago, who uses their own HR monitor they sell, but I trust myZone so much now I just love to stick with it. It’s easy, still have my friends fromMy old gym and the Y and it syncs with my Fitbit well. So yeah it has a little lag time but by the time I take it off, undress for the shower and hop out it asks me if I wanna name my workout. Sure I can do that now. I don’t need to do it in an instant. It’s all in your own perspective. Oh and 2 years ago I bought mine... it just now got to 55% and I’ve NEVER charged it... ever. I love MyZone.

I love seeing my info on the screen as soon as I enter a group fitness class. The color-coded monitor shows heart rate as a percent, and I find myself continuously moving just to keep myself in the blue (60%) status or above. The MEP point system is perfect for goal setting. I enjoy naming each saved workout and adding a picture behind the bar graph data table.When the monitors are off, the wearable device requires the phone nearby with app open and logging in order to retain workout data. I lost an entire workout because I left my phone behind and there were no active screens on that day. I would like to be able to return home from a workout or return to the gym the next time the displays are active and sync up recent workouts or movements. I thought the device would have some memory for the $99 cost.Another nice feature would be the ability to truncate the timeline of your saved bar graphs. One day I had worn the device while driving to and from the gym. The device had logged ALL data with the device worn, including the non-workout times. Contrary to what I said in the earlier paragraph, the phone was in range, but with the app closed, not actively displaying data.Finally, I’d like to edit more than just a title and photo. Maybe add ability edit / delete the comments?

I’ve been having problems lately where the MyZone app fails to load historical data off the belt. I don’t typically work out near a MyZone receiver or with the belt streaming to the app on my iPhone. I know for a fact the belt is recording HR because it displays on the gym equipment. I used to do my workout (out of phone range) then open up the app on my phone before taking the belt off and it would load my workout data. That doesn’t work any more. Now the only data that gets saved in the app is for the period I am within range of the phone. The actual workout data never gets imported off the belt. I used to get around this by installing the app on an iPad and use it to load the data hours after the workout. It took a few tries sometimes but it usually worked. Fed up with the app I tried streaming to my Apple Watch. Today when I went to upload data from my watch it showed there were nearly 300 samples. It hit “upload” and got confirmation that upload was successful. The data is not in the app on my IPhone. The workout data is just gone. It appears that if the belt is streaming data over Bluetooth that it doesn’t save data to its internal memory so it can’t be imported later. I never had problems before they added Apple Watch suppprt. I am use the most updated versions of everything. If I keep having problems I’m going to quit using it because it isn’t worth the hassle.

I work for a gym that sells Myzones. I heard the owner throwing out his pitch to a few of the customers, and honestly I thought he was full of it! He was telling them, “This thing will change your life!”... Really!? Change your life??? That’s a little too much dude... or so I thought! Fast forward a week or so, and I’m thinking, I want something just to track the amount of calories I’m burning when I work out. I’m fairly low body fat %, but I’m a big numbers guy, so I really just wanted to make some minor tweaks and better track my diet.And it does that... but it also does SO MUCH MORE!!! This thing connects with the TVs at my gym, so I can see my efficiency in real time as I am working out! I no longer have to guess numbers when performing reps; I don’t even count the reps anymore, I just continue until my heart rate hits my target zone, and then rest accordingly. The workouts I was doing prior to myzone I was burning anywhere from 400 to 600 calories over 2 hours or so. Now with the myzone I’m maximizing my effort, and am burning double that in less time! This thing has honestly CHANGED MY LIFE! I LOVE IT!!!
