THE MYZONE® FEATURE SET
Accuracy is of paramount importance
when it comes to motivating people to
put in the effort required to get the results
they want. For this reason, we chose
to measure intensity through heart rate,
the gold standard of activity tracking.
The MYZONE® physical activity belt is
99.4% accurate to an EKG machine, and
automatically and seamlessly uploads
up to 16 hours of stored workouts every
time your users walk into your club!

TVs around the club provide a real time
display of a members heart rate, calories
burned, and points earned. Instant
feedback and immediate rewards keep
members on track, helping them to
make every session count and keep
coming back for more.

The MYZONE® MZ-50 Watch is an
option for those members who also exercise
outdoors, away from the club. Instant
feedback is a compelling and addictive
benefit, leading to simple upsell and
secondary revenue opportunity to existing
users. Available in 4 colors!

Members can view their online log
book from the convenience of the MYZONE®
Lite App. Furthermore, at the touch of
a button trainers can achieve deeper and
more meaningful engagement with their
clients through the tracking of their exercise
and nutrition. This holistic approach to
fitness and wellness will keep clients
motivated and engaged.

The online user pages leverage goal
setting, status ranking, badges, and social
accountability tools to drive members to
exercise more, and sustain that motivation
over time. All these elements are key for
client retention and satisfaction.

Club operators can pull a series of
reports that are full of information that will
help them understand their members that
much more: “To know me is to love me!”
By understanding your customers you can
offer individualized an specific suggestions
therfore improving club-client relationships
and maintaining attendance and credibility.

Let’s take a look at the 4 key areas of club operation

The Fou
Having A Unique Selling Point
• Why It’s Important: Having a
unique selling point is what
separates your club from
alternatives in the market
• How MYZONE® Helps:
Seeing their heart rate on the
big screen brings sport science
to the regular gym member, is
impressive on the tour, and the
honor board is a powerful goal
setting tool that helps the sales
team illustrate how the club
ensures that its members
achieve their desired results. It’s
proof, plain and simple.

Member On-Boarding
• Why It’s Important: The first
45 days is the single most
important window of opportunity when it comes to new
memberships. Members who
join on impulse but never
engage are headed for quick
failure. Members who join but
convert their impulse to time
spent in the club are set for a
lengthy tenure!
• How MYZONE® Helps:
By rewarding new members
for getting their name on the
Honor Board in their first
month (with 2x PT Sessions
valued at $150, for example),
you can incentivize the sale of
the belt and add value to their
purchase. When a $75 belt
purchase is suddenly worth
$225 dollars with the added
training, the risk of not getting
their money’s worth from your
club has already been
eliminated, and most
importantly you’re driving
exercise adherence during
those first 45 days.

With a strong USP, a well on-boarded member, high PT penetration, and with
referral sales from the promoters within the club, which is why using MYZONE

ns, and how MYZONE® helps move the key metrics.

ur Pillars
Personal Training Upsell
• Why It’s Important:
Your highest yielding product,
the first class upsell of our
industry.
• How MYZONE® Helps:
Use the MYZONE® Lite app
to help build the enhanced
value of training during the
sample sessions. It shows the
member that the trainer can
now keep them accountable
to their cardio homework, and
it can be used to engage in
convenient food tracking. The
MYZONE® app helps elevate
the trainer to more of a coach
over the member’s entire week,
even when they are out of the
gym.

Retention
• Why It’s Important: Members
naturally yo-yo with their club
usage, at some point not
bouncing back, leading to
them becoming an attrition
statistic. According to IHRSA
studies, members who use the
gym > 100 times per year will
stay 18 months longer than
members who visit less than
50 times per year. Club usage
matters.
• How MYZONE® Helps:
MYZONE® uses gamification,
status ranking, challenges and
leaderboards to capture this
mass movement in usage and
create a "reboot" type effect.
Challenges, for example, have
been shown to drive usage
from 4 visits per month to 11
visits per month.

Using Goal Setting and Gamification in Conjunction
with Tracking to Drive Member Behavior

Three themed challenges per year provide
hype and a sense of camaraderie. A great
way to promote MYZONE®, and a great
way to induce engagement in members.

ZONE MATCH™ is a fun, engaging
and easy-to-follow group cardio class that
will take your heart through different
levels of intensity based on the MYZONE®
effort zones. Your aim is to try and
control your heart rate by altering effort
to remain within the preset color zones
provided to you throughout the class.

The Numbers Don’t Lie - MYZONE® Changes
Behavior for the Better!

BASIC STUDY
A recent study completed at Pat Laus’ award
winning Atlantic Club in New Jersey showed
that a control group of members visited the club
25% more, (January, year on year) once they had
adopted MYZONE®.

A MORE TELLING NUMBER
More interestingly, it was established from that
same case study that those members who would
typically only visit 4 times in a January period,
would visit 11 times once engaged with MYZONE®.
In effect, projecting their attendance to be 132
visits for the year instead of 48, moving them from
no or low engagement to high engagement. This
is where the rubber meets the road.
CHALLENGES WORK
A separate quantitative study completed
by CFM International, the global distributor of
MYZONE®, showed that members already using
MYZONE® would exercise 80% more frequently
when engaged in a 6 week challenge with
their peers.

RETENTION RATE
New findings by the UK Active Research
Institute show that the average retention rate
of non-MYZONE® users is 65%; but for
MYZONE® users that number jumps to 77%,
a significant improvement!

their visits by 158%
when comparing
January 2012 to
January 2013, with the only significant
change on this control group being
the application of MYZONE®. This
MYZONE® initiative took our low usage
members from 4 visits per month, to 11
visits per m

to be a real driver of member usage
which is critical to retention.
