THE BENEFITS OF MYZONE: • You will be able to view your effort live in club on the Gym TV’s AND on your smartphone • You will be able to record ALL your activity (inside and outside of the club!) • You will receive email workout summaries • You will earn points, gain status rankings and get rewarded • You can enter challenges or set your own challenges • You can connect to 3rd party equipment for maximum versatility
INTRODUCTORY LIMITED TIME SPECIAL OFFER Purchase during Know Your Numbers and get a
MYZONE BELT FOR JUST £50 OR TWO FOR £80 (Amazon RRP £129.99)
If you are still not convinced then ask the Wellbeing Team to trial a demonstration belt for a few days. 07
SEE HOW MYZONE HELPS PEOPLE LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES... “MYZONE has taken my workout to different heights. I’ve learned that more is not necessarily better; efficiency is the real target. I’ve also become more aware of what I eat because MYZONE tells you how many calories you burn in a workout session. Also, I don’t overtrain. I make small goals for myself and by using MYZONE to calculate my exertion rate and calorie burn, I am getting better results. ”
“MYZONE has made my gym a better club. My PT showed me how to use the MYZONE belt and what I needed to do
to get into the red zone. I’d got into a bit of a rut with my training, but MYZONE got me back on track. I’m averaging four workouts a week now - three times in the club with a run outside. I’ve only had my belt for four months What people say about Body Composition and I’m completely addicted. ”Analysis (Bodystat)?
“ I used to get so disheartened when I would weigh myself to find that I had hardly lost any weight even after being really strict with my diet and spending hours in the gym. Now with Bodystat, when I see my body fat reduce and muscle mass increase, I feel great about myself. I no longer allow myself to feel dejected by a lack of weight loss and all the hours spent in the gym finally seem like they were worth it. ”
Wherever you are in your fitness journey, let MyZone take it to the next level.
Don’t letI your effort unrewarded. “ Before started using go Bodystat I always struggled to stick to any diet and fitness regime. Bodystat was an absolute gamechanger. I love being able to track my progress and I get a huge deal of satisfaction when I achieve personal goals.There truly is no better feeling than seeing hard work and dedication pay off. ”
