What is Myzone?
How does it work?
Myzone's innovative heart rate belt or watch straps to your chest or wrist, which then wirelessly transmits real-time heart rate stats to an app on your phone AND to a television display on the wall when participating in a REGYMEN workout or Myzone Cycle class.
Myzone vs. MZ-Open
MyZone: Separate device with high accuracy for tracking your heart rate that can be worn on the chest, arm or wrist.
MZ-Open: Software that integrates with your existing smartwatch with no added device needed.
Who can use it?
Everyone can use it! Because your workout is guided by your own heart rate, workouts that use Myzone technology are a great fit for all fitness levels. By getting to and staying in the zone color that your coach/instructor has determined (or that you've determined when using it on your own), you're getting the maximum benefit from your workout, based on your body's ability.
How is the Y using Myzone?
You can find Myzone technology in cycling classes at various YMCA locations! Myzone is also the heart rate monitoring technology that is used in the Y's premium workout option, REGYMEN. REGYMEN is now available at the Blocker Norfolk Family YMCA and the YMCA at Edinburgh. And of course, you can use your Myzone tracker whenever to track your activity through the Myzone app!
Myzone Technology in Cycle Classes
YMCA cycling classes use Myzone to help you stay motivated and track your progress. This heart rate monitoring system displays your effort in real time using color-coded zones, so you can adjust intensity and stay on track. You’ll earn Myzone Effort Points (MEPs) based on how hard you work—adding fun, accountability, and connection to every ride.
