Read his story below.
Bret’s Success Story:
“Prior to taking our classes, members are encouraged to undergo our exclusive assessment, where we measure an individual’s fitness thresholds. This assessment is what makes our classes unique. We have had numerous classes where there was a huge disparity between fitness levels of our members. With Heart Zones, we are able to produce workouts that are tailored to each individual, despite their differences in level of fitness. This makes for fun and engaging classes where everyone leaves satisfied.”
“Prior to the inclusion of Heart Zones technology, we already offered a variety of exercise modalities and class styles including balance, cardio, strength, high-intensity, and combo classes. Thus, we wanted to offer something truly unique and different, something that is separate from everything else. Fortunately, we were able to accomplish that by creating a class called TruZones that uses the Heart Zones technology. “
Testimonials
“Since Heart Zones gives specific, real-time feedback based on the individual’s fitness level, it has been an invaluable tool for our members to reach their goals. Members love how easy it is to see exactly where they are in their workout”
– Heather McIntire, Personal Trainer
“Our members are much more in tuned with their bodies with Heart Zones. Some participants did not even know what a Heart Rate Threshold was until they tried Heart Zones. Now they are using it to push themselves, track their workouts, and improve their overall fitness!”
-Holly Holcombe, Personal Trainer/Group Ex Instructor
“I did TruZones [with Heart Zones] 2-3x/week for two weeks, changed nothing else about my diet, and was finally able to fit into my summer shorts after hitting a plateau for months. I love how energized I feel and the fast-paced class atmosphere made it fun!”
-Candis Hidalgo, Member
“My fitness experience with TruZones [with Heart Zones] has helped transform my body and meet goals that I haven’t been able to achieve in the past. Each coach has introduced me to different exercises, the equipment we use is different, and the Heart Zones monitors show you where you can be pushed.”
