Myzone MZ-3 Physical Activity Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitor

Product Information

It is now an ideal solution for a corporate and school environment, and our partnership with BGF and Vin will help drive these new markets in addition to building on our longstanding support of the traditional fitness industry.” Typically available as chest straps, these heart rate monitors don’t see quite the same levels of innovation as the smartwatch space, but this is exactly what Myzone intends to put a stop to by shaking things up with its newest piece of kit. I’ve spent a great deal of time testing the MZ-Switch and I can now say with confidence that the change was worth the wait. Design If the eyes of your peers just isn’t quite enough motivation for you, then you’ll be glad to know that Myzone also employs a ranking system wherein, the more consistently you exercise, the better your status. Completing workouts will earn you MEPs (Myzone Effort Points) – a system that’s based upon recommended guidelines from the World Health Organisation – 1300 of which will you nab you iron status, then bronze, silver and so on.

Tech entrepreneur Vin Murria OBE – the British founder of Advanced Computer Software plc – has also invested in the business and joined it as non-executive chair. When it comes to making meaningful changes to your health and fitness, it can sometimes be a bit of a battle to know where to start with wearables.Even though it does away with numbering conventions, the MZ-Switch is technically a successor to Myzone’s previous heart rate monitor, the Myzone MZ-3. Both of these devices keep the Myzone logo front and centre, whilst also making use of the same colour palette, but otherwise the MZ-Switch is considerably smaller than its predecessor. Originally from Australia, Mr Wright worked as a personal trainer where he met his now wife, Adrienne, before moving to the UK to start a new life together. One of the best things about the system is that you don’t lose out on MEPs if you use the belt as an external sensor connected to a running watch or other hardware. Simply connect the MZ-Switch with your phone and each session is automatically uploaded to the app from internal storage, regardless of what else you were using it for before. He set up gyms such as FeelGood Fitness in Grantham, as well as a health and fitness marketing company which encouraged people to sign up to gyms.

He said: “We have been in a very fortunate position in that we have grown organically to date, without the need for external capital.Whether you use the optical or the electrical sensor is up to you – it’s mostly about personal preference. If you’re uncomfortable wearing a chest belt during certain activities, this gives you the option of wearing the monitor on your wrist or forearm. Continue to follow the prompts. To ensure your Myzone readings are as accurate as possible, enter your gender, height, weight, and date of birth. He said the tech was now used in some of the biggest health clubs around the world and has also broken into new markets such as elite sports teams, hospitals, schools and universities.
