Concordia to introduce cutting edge technology to maximise work out results

Concordia Leisure Centre is introducing MyZone, a heart rate monitor, to many of its gym sessions, so that participants can exercise at their optimum level and get the maximum results for their workout.

 

The technology is fitted into a belt  which uses wireless and cloud technology to monitor heart rate, calories and time exercising.

 

An open day is being held at the sports centre on Saturday 29 February so that anyone wanting to find out more about the technology and how it works, can come along, speak to an instructor and give it a try.

 

The new equipment will be used in cardio classes on the cross trainers and rowers and in functional training classes, but can also be used independently in or outside the gym.

 

Nicole Rowley Health and Fitness Manager at Concordia said:

 

“ The benefit of MyZone is that you can see exactly how hard you are working and whether you need to push just that bit harder to get the best out of your workout. It displays real-time heart rate, calories, and exercise intensity using five simple color-coded personalized zones.

 

“ The technology is personal to you and your own body so if you are unfit or older, then your optimum heart rate will be different to someone who is younger and trains regularly, making the playing field even.

 

“ Those using the technology can also accumulate Myzone Effort Points and receive medals so we hope this will help to keep people motivated during the sessions. There are also challenges and personal goals to achieve so I am sure it will introduce a bit of friendly competition and community spirit into the gym.”

 

Demo belts will be used on the day, but belts that normally retail at £129.99 can be bought at Concordia for £49.99 or you can add £5 to a 12 month membership.
