MYZONE®
MYZONE uniquely rewards effort, while providing a game based platform and social experience that is both inclusive and engaging to all, regardless of athletic ability. As the name suggests, its technology creates bespoke and responsive targets for each individual, to provide personal feedback – hence ‘MYZONE’.Creating a personal handicap based on your maximum heart rate, it is possible to beat an elite athlete by simply working harder. For example, you might finish behind an elite athlete in an endurance run, but exert greater effort and MYZONE makes you the winner – so everyone competes on a level playing field.
MYZONE encourages competition with other users through cloud-based challenges via a web-based account and bespoke app. The community aspect of MYZONE makes it a Facebook for physical activity. Users can analyze, ‘like’, and comment on each other’s workouts, while the app logs your activity history and even updates you over email. In fact, this is the only system to recognize and notify you when you have attained the World Health Organization’s recommended guidelines for physical activity.
The MYZONE App allows you to sync your MYZONE MZ-3 Physical Activity Belt with your phone meaning you can now see live data and upload stored workouts on your phone. If you prefer to use your MZ-3 with third party fitness apps then your data will still be stored (up to 16 hours) until you sync with your MYZONE® app.
***
* Please note that the app will only work if you have a MYZONE® Account (you can create an account in the app for free if you don’t have one already) and your tile will only be shown and data uploaded if you have the new MYZONE® MZ-3 Physical Activity Belt.”

Less than average. Since most recent update (March 2022?) it doesn't record complete data. Several people at my gym have the same observations. New version looks clean/elementary but is difficult to navigate and not well organized. Hate it. But my club uses it so I've no choice. Don't waste money on the new device unless you swim...you can't get a good response on the wrist device for anything other than swimming.
Works fairly well until it's time to end a workout. ALWAYS hangs up when going from My Tile back to Home. Lost a lot of MEPS on last workout because it wouldn't update the total for the month even though it showed the correct total for the session. Bring back the previous version until the bugs are worked out. Not going to use this if it continues to mess up.
Love the App! Really like the app, great motivator and fantastic way to record progress. Particularly enjoy the '...inator' sessions - great fun, and concentrating on matching zones means you don't focus too much on the exercise itself! Do agree it needs to decide what it wants to be. I like the messaging, but it is a bit clunky. I guess it's not supposed to be a replacement for What's App et al, but if it is it needs some work in terms of speed, ability to reply etc. Still an overall 5⭐
The upgrade is a downgrade. Full of issues. Not processing my workouts and you waste time trying to fix it which is demoralising. The changes are pointless and confusing. Now I have to go through a long process of getting a ticket for assistence meanwhile I am losing days of un processed exercise. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF IT ALL .
I've only started using this app. It's rather complicated although does the job. Maybe I need to become more familiar with it but the worse thing about the service is the post workout email that reads "You have No status. 1 more month(s) at X MEPs will move you to Iron"... It's not very motivating and a little discouraging for a new user. Being friendly and on the user's side is always the best strategy.
Update: The March 2022 update has ruined the app. The app constantly drops connection during the workout and says it's 'searching for device'. Also, when I complete the workout and come out of 'My Tile', the app processes the workout, asks me to label my activity and finalises it as it normally would, but then, despite having removed my belt, it continues to chart my last heart rate whilst the app is open, lengthening the workout and making it inaccurate. I have no clue why it does this.
After the adjustment to the new set up, it is definitely easier to find things. I like it. Great social media app for workouts and adding community to your fit crew or gym. I would recommend it. I also look forward to additions to the app such as group/ video developments. There is a lot of potential to make this the Facebook of workouts and such.
100% agree with previous comments. When the app works its great but since the last update multiple issues. Misses parts of workouts, won't connect to phone or computer most of the time. Have tried all "help" suggestions and none have worked. I use to call it my motivator but now I call it my frustrator.
New update needs an update. Old version was 5 stars. I can deal with the UI changes. That's fine, life goes on. I have two MZ-3 chips. One I leave at work (I work at the gym) and one at home. It used to be easy to swap the chip SN but now it's not. Allow us to add multiple devices to our account.
I really like the MyZone App. It provides yet another stat and allows you to challenge yourself to beat it. My only complaints are: * It needs the ability to split a 'Move' into many moves. I often wear my strap to do multiple workouts of differing intensity one after the other. MyZone recognises this as one continuous 'move' instead of two so I am unable to accurately identify effort * Better integration to other apps. Currently I can integrate with Google Fit and that doesn't work correctly.
I love knowing how much effort I'm putting into my workout. It definitely makes a difference knowing if your pushing yourself enough or not, which makes this a Good device. 👍 Only downfall is if it is connected to a radio (bluetooth device) it disconnects often during your workout. Also once I'm done working out I should be able to push a button stating I am BUT it disconnects when it thinks it's done so those are my ONLY 2 issues I'm having with this device.
I miss the previous version where I could upload a workout. Often times I do different back to back workouts. I want data on them separately but the Tile won't shut off and restart. It just keeps going. Also it doesn't always seem to upload all the data. It may indicate I did 300 MEPS but only uploads 275. Very annoying when in a contest.
Excelente app but since the upgrade and new interface it gets disconnected from time to time and it doesn't record all of my workout even if my cellphone is all the time in my pocket. Also, when battery is at 40% can't get it to connect to Bluetooth. It's a bit waste of money on new batteries. Luckily i have a second usage for them but still its an issue. I gave hou 5 star only because ima long time user and i know what this app use to be. Please fix the issues.
The updated app has got rid of all the best features. You can't see your progress against your target, you can no longer see all your monthly history in one screen. The personal target graphic doesn't always update. Please release the old version as myzone classic.
Not sure how anyone is supposed to use this on a phone. Can't find anything. Can't figure out where to see my current ongoing workout. I put off upgrading because I liked the old version with the tiles, this version is useless to me.
I don't like not knowing my heart rate targets. This is vital information for heart rate training. I don't want to have to keep my eyes on an app. My fitbit gives me these target numbers in its app and I see where my heart rate is. Showing me how much more I need to push. I would also like to point out that I do really like the fact that this shows the effort for a workout and how much can be done to improve a workout too. Please put back the way was. This is lacking needed information.
New update hits glitch when connecting to live class. Starts to connect for a split second, and then goes right back to the screen that says "connect to remote class". In a constant loop.
It is accurate to your workout. It is easy to operate, you can set challenges with your friends. Friends can see your workout and vice versa, it is great for networking.
The new update is awful! 1. Why take away the two progress circles and replace with one? It was useful to be able to see how far ahead or behind I was, and now with only one circle that feature has gone. 2. I can no longer view and scroll through only my workouts. Used to be able to do this by clicking the calendar top right, now can only view one day at a time. Very cumbersome to compare your results for repetitions of the same classes.
App was great before you messed with it. It was extremely easy to use for my clients that aren't as tech savvy. Now I even have trouble figuring out where anything is. My gym clients are extremely frustrated. I've been taking it up and now they can't figure out how to use it. Stuff is all over the place and disorganized. Terrible update.
Wish I hadn't bought this. The app doesn't show my full work outs, only bits. Support told me to delete cache but it didn't work, then to reinstall app, which did work & now it's gone again. Also no option to stop a workout. I have classes with a 20 min break in-between, I would like to record these separately as one is a hiit class & I like to aim for better than the last time but instead my zone gives me an average including my 20 min break - even though I disconnect it from the belt.
