Data Upload

Club Upload

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

However, if you’re having trouble during a club upload, try these steps:

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

Step 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.

 

App Upload

Uploading workout data through your smartphone can be done by following these steps:

Step 1: Make sure your phone has bluetooth turned on.

Step 2: Open the Myzone App and tap the EFFORT STREAM

Note: If this is your first time using the app, you will be prompted to pair your belt ( you must be wearing the belt during the pairing process).

Step 3: Once paired, the tile on EFFORT STREAM should populate with your nickname and data, and the bottom of your screen will update your successful upload data.

Step 4: There is a data cloud in the top right hand corner of the workout screen, click on this to push the data upload if it doesn’t automatically happen.

 

Data won’t upload?

Make sure you have a strong enough wifi or internet connection to allow upload to the Myzone App.

Goals

Setting personal goals sets you up for success and can help keep you motivated! As you exercise you’ll see your position along the progress bar, helping you stay on track toward achieving your goals.

Your progress can be tracked through the Myzone App or by logging in to your online account. 

How to set a Goal

Setting personal goals for yourself is a great way to stay motivated! Follow these easy steps to set a new goal.

Myzone Live Tile

Overview

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.

Check out the two diagrams below to become familiar with all the data that your tile offers you, one is the tile from the live screen in a gym facility and the other the Myzone App.

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). This is an estimate which is created by using the HUNT formula (2013) but for some users, actual MHR may be higher or lower.

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

 

Tile Colors

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.

 

In the Club

When inside a club, your belt information will be streamed to displays in the form of a color-coded, easy-to-read tile.

Your belt data will not be detected through walls; it requires line of sight and no obstruction, so make sure you are in direct range of the receiver. (Wearing it under a shirt is fine.)

If you block the signal (by facing backwards away from the facility receiver, lying down in a plank position, or go out of range) the signal may be compromised and in that case the data will store to memory on the MZ-3. If you have an MZ-1 no data storage will be in place and this may create gaps in your data.

Your data will then upload when the signal is restored (MZ-3 only).

MEPs

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

The more effort, the more MEPs! Challenges, personal goals, and rankings are all based from 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.
