UFIT Singapore - Getting Started on Myzone

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Get in the zone.

Myzone works in five zones. Each zone represents a percentage of your maximum heart rate (MHR).

Effort over ability.

Myzone calculates your MHR from the moment you start training. You can track your effort as you go.

Make it count.

Reach different zones based on your MHR. The harder you work, the more Myzone Effort Points (MEPs) you earn.

Gamification gains.

MEPs help to transform any workout into a challenge. The best kind of motivation!

Red and Yellow Zones of Myzone heart rate training

The yellow and red zones come into play with high intensity physical activity and cardio workouts. Whether you're running, performing plyometric movements, taking a spin class or interval training, pushing yourself into these zones will burn more calories and earn more Myzone Effort Points.

Most people shouldn't be aiming for the red zone with every workout. Nuances between the different zones are much more beneficial to your wellbeing than trying to max out with every movement.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR DEVICE

Once you have picked up your Myzone device from your preferred UFIT location, follow these 4 simple steps:

Download the Myzone App or register here.

SET UP

Activate your monitor by following the instructions given (you may need to charge it first).

JOIN UFIT

Search facility ID: UFISG001 to join the Move In May challenge. You will then receive an invitation from your Team Leader.

GET MOVING

Once your monitor is activated, it will start registering your activity as your heart rate goes up. The harder you work, the more MEPS you earn!

Top Tips For Your Myzone Device

You can wear the monitor either on your wrist, arm, or round your chest. Round the chest is the most accurate.
The monitor is waterproof up to 10m.
You should only wear your Myzone monitor when doing exercise that will elevate your heart rate, such as walking, swimming, cycling, workout out etc, (not all the time like a Fitbit).
The app can be slow to update points and leaderboards so be patient!

How does the MYZONE DEVICE measure my heart rate?

Wrist or forearm: In this location, MZ-Switch uses optical blood flow, also called PPG (short for Photoplethysmography). This technology shines a LED light into your skin that measures the volumetric variation of your blood flow to predict your heart rate.

Chest: In this mode, the black sensors on the strap read your heart rate via electrocardiogram, or ECG, which traces the electrical activity of your heartbeat.

How do I upload data in a UFIT Location?

Uploading your data in a UFIT facility is easy! Most of the time you probably don’t even notice when it happens.

However, if you’re having trouble, try these steps:

1. Stand within 10 feet of a Myzone receiver while wearing your belt.

2. When your name and the current time appear on the feed at the foot of the display screen, your upload is complete and your belt is empty.

Your workout data will now be viewable through your online Myzone account.

Can I store workout data on my Myzone device?

Yes, when you are not streaming to your app or gym display, your device stores up to 36 hours of exercise data. You can upload your workout through the app or at your gym - just put your belt on, power it up, then connect!

On the app, keep your belt on until you receive the message the top of the home screen indicating all data has been received. At the gym, stand within 10 feet or 3 meters of your gym display. Your name will appear scrolling at the top of the screen once your data has uploaded.

What are MEPs?

Myzone Effort Points (MEPs) are awarded for every minute spent exercising in your personal intensity zones.

The more effort you put in, the more MEPs you earn. Challenges, personal goals, and rankings are all based on your MEP count.

When looking at your live tile, you can find your current MEP count in the bottom right corner, next to the pulse line.

How do I use my Myzone DEVICE?

Wrist: Use your wrist strap for swimming and other non-gripping, repeatable movements.
Arm: Snap your module into your arm band for improved accuracy during non-gripping activity and repeatable movements, excluding swimming.
Chest: Chest is best to get the most accurate results for all activities except swimming.

Check out this comprehensive table of activities for specific guidelines.

MZ-Switch Recommended Activities Table

How do i know my belt is working? The belt will beep one time when the belt is activated and 3 times when you take it off.

What are Myzone Live tiles?

Understanding your Live Tile is the key to a successful, productive workout with Myzone!

The tile is what you see on the Myzone app when you exercise or on the screen in the gym.

The percentage shown on your tile is a % of your effort or maximum heart rate (MHR). The equation for estimating your max heart rate is 211 – (0.64 x age).

Note: If you achieve a higher MHR when wearing the belt, your MHR and zones will be automatically adjusted.

WHAT DO MYZONE LIVE TILE COLOURS REPRESENT?

Live tile colors represent the zone you’re working in according to your effort.

Grey = 50-59% – Earns 1 MEP/minute
Blue = 60-69% – Earns 2 MEPs/minute
Green = 70-79% – Earns 3 MEPs/minute
Yellow = 80-89% – Earns 4 MEPs/minute
Red = 90-100% – Earns 4 MEPs/minute

Note: exercising in the Red Zone will continue to earn you 4 MEPs/min because Myzone does not want to encourage overtraining by rewarding the Red Zone with higher MEPS.

Is the Myzone device safe to use with medical devices such as pacemakers?

Yes, it is safe to use with medical devices. However, these may interfere with the chest strap, so please wear your Switch on your wrist or arm.
