Convection utilizes air currents to warm the air inside the cabinet, so the body is heated gradually, evenly and safely. Members can adjust the temperature to any desired level, ranging from ambient room temperature up to 192F degrees.
Each session is 20 minutes long and can be activated for 1 session every 24 hours per member.
If you are a Dynamic Fit Level member, you will need to register at the front desk during staffed hours where our team members can activate the bed for use.
Synchronized multiple vibration transducers located under the contoured bed can be controlled to achieve the desired level of soothing and invigorating massage. Individualized variable massage motors allow for customized massage vibration locations to the back, legs, or both. In addition, the massage intensity settings can be adjusted to low, mild, strong, intense, and maximum vibration.
Members can select their own personal vibratory massage levels for immediate stress relief, relaxation, soothing relief to the muscles, improved better sleep or recharging power naps.
The dry heat air feature provides holistic benefits including increased core (body) temperature and local blood circulation. As the body responds to the warm chamber environment, the relaxing release of body heat triggers the cleansing and perspiration process that helps maintain a stable core temperature.

Visit our Myzone page to learn more!
Myzone Effort Points, or MEPs, are how Myzone measures effort. You begin earning MEPs once you are above 50% of your max heart rate. The more effort you put in, the more MEPs you get back.
- GRAY Zone: 50-59% of MHR = 1 MEP
- BLUE Zone: 60-69% of MHR = 2 MEPs
- GREEN Zone: 70-79% of MHR = 3 MEPs
- YELLOW Zone: 80-89% of MHR = 4 MEPs
- RED Zone: 90-100% of MHR = 4 MEPs
The red zone does not exceed 4 MEPs per minute because Myzone does not want to encourage overtraining.
The color of the bars in your workout graph is based on the average effort for that entire minute. Therefore if you are at 91% for 30 seconds and 88% for 30 seconds your average for that minute would be 89.5% and your graph would be yellow.
Your Time in Zones is based on the total amount of time spent in each zone over the course of the workout. Therefore your time in each zone may not be reflected directly in the graph.
An example here is that 17 minutes were spent in the Red Zone over the entire workout but only two minutes averaged above 90%.
Myzone estimates caloric expenditure using an equation that was developed in a study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences in 2005. In this study, participants performed steady-state exercise on a cycle ergometer or treadmill at multiple exercise intensities. Heart rate and VO2 were measured throughout.
The equation takes into consideration the user’s sex, weight, age, and heart rate – essentially, as much information about each user as is available.
Myzone does not track calories in the light gray zone, or below 50% of your MHR. The equation is most accurate at intensities above 50% and therefore calories will only be calculated above 50% (grey-red zones).
Myzone uses the following equations to estimate your caloric burn:
Men: C/min = (-55.0969 + 0.6309 x HR + 0.1988 x weight + 0.2017 x age) / 4.184
Women: C/min = (-20.4022 + 0.4472 x HR – 0.1263 x weight + 0.074 x age) / 4.184
Resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute at rest. It is best to measure this first thing in the morning. As you become more fit, your resting heart rate will reduce as your heart becomes more efficient. Resting heart rate is not used in the calculation of MEPs for any information on your Myzone workout tile. If you are sitting or lying and are calm, relaxed, and aren’t ill, your heart rate is normally between 60 and 100 beats per minute (American Heart Association https://www.heart.org/en).
When you first register your Myzone belt, you might notice your resting heart rate starts with a default setting of 100 beats per minute. As you continue using the belt, your RHR will change which is very normal! Each time the belt observes when you maintain a lower heart rate than your current RHR setting, it will automatically lower your RHR down to the new value in your Myzone profile.
Myzone sets your resting heart rate to 100bpm (beats per minute) as standard. When you first register your belt it is recommended that you perform a resting heart rate test. This involves sitting or lying comfortably while wearing your belt for 10 minutes, ideally in the morning. When you next upload your data at the Myzone Console your resting heart rate will recalculate to your actual resting value. You can also ask your trainer to adjust your resting heart rate if it does not appear to be accurate or if you have completed a resting heart rate test.
Maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate an individual can achieve through exercise stress.
Myzone uses the HUNT formula (2013). Research has found that this is the most accurate maximum Heart Rate calculation to establish an estimate for large populations:
Max HR = 211 – (0.64 x age)
This is based on population norms. If you are able to push your maximum HR past this limit for 30 seconds, your Myzone profile will automatically adjust to reflect your capabilities. You can also ask your coach or trainer to adjust the MHR on your profile if it does not appear to be accurate or upon completion of a submaximal heart rate test.
Your maximum heart rate will reduce if you have some time away from exercise. While there is often a correlation between aging and MHR, getting one year older will not cause your MHR to decrease if you have maintained consistent levels of physical activity. Your ability to maintain a higher heart rate will increase with training.
Knowing what intensity you are working at is essential to ensure you get the most from your training and get the results you want. It helps you train safely and effectively when not under the guidance of a trainer or coach.
Many factors affect your resting and max heart rate during exercise including the amount of sleep you have had, stress, nutrition, hydration, heavy training, fatigue, adrenaline, competition, and mental focus.
By measuring your resting heart rate over a period of time or by repeating an identical exercise session and comparing your average heart rate in your Myzone Activity report. When your resting or average heart rate goes down, your heart is becoming more efficient and therefore you are increasing your level of fitness.
Routine exercise is incredibly important to our long-term health. Since physiological adaptations to regular exercise can take several weeks or months, rewarding consistency early on makes it more engaging, and therefore more probable, for us to achieve our long-term goals.
Myzone understands this and developed Myzone Status to encourage people to build the healthy habit from day one. The concept is simple – the more people believe they will be successful exercisers, the more likely they are to keep exercising. Myzone Status focuses on a realistic monthly goal, rewarding consistency and providing a new badge of improvement before the physical results are seen and felt.
Myzone uses the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines to establish the number of Myzone Effort Points (MEPs) needed to earn or keep your status each month. The WHO recommends that healthy adults perform a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardiorespiratory exercise per week (and more for improved fitness benefits). This equals 1,300 MEPs per month.
Your Status will drop if you do not earn at least 1300 MEPs each month. The first month you miss your goal, your status will drop down to the beginning of your current level. For example if you were at Silver +5 months, you would move down to Silver+0.
The first month you are promoted to a new status, your monthly count is 0. If you do not achieve 1300 MEPs in the first month, you will immediately drop to the previous level. You will move down a status level for each month missed from there.
Myzone displays your Status in every post-workout email. It also tells you how many MEPs you need to earn to achieve 1300. You can also track your Status on your Myzone app. It displays beneath your profile image on your home feed. You can also tap Me on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. This view shows your monthly count so you can see how close you are to leveling up.
Yes! We understand life happens sometimes, if you need to freeze your status you can submit a ticket to Myzone Support to process your status freeze.

InBody devices use direct segmental measurement bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-BIA) to precisely measure body composition by sending multiple electrical currents through the body, resulting in up to six different impedance readings for the trunk and each of the four limbs.
The innovative in-depth analysis of the InBody Test yields accurate results for body composition outputs, such as body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, (segmental) lean body mass, and percent body fat.
Impedance is the frequency-dependent opposition of a conductor to the flow of an alternating electric current. Impedance is composed of two main properties, resistance and reactance.
InBody provides segmental impedance values at varying frequencies to allow for accurate analysis of the human body. Since reactance is the interrupting force of alternating current flow, it increases in proportion to the integrity of cell membrane. Therefore, reactance and phase angle decrease when the number of cells is low or the cell membrane is more permeable or unhealthy. Simply put – the more water there is, the lower the impedance.
- Hydrate normally throughout the day.
- Avoid eating 3-4 hours prior to testing.
- Wear t-shirt, spandex/practice shorts for testing. Do not wear anything with metal on it (pants with metal zippers or buttons, bras with underwire, etc.)
- Be prepared to remove all jewelry, socks, pantyhose, and shoes prior to testing.
- Avoid drinking caffeine on the day of your test.
- Avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours prior to testing.
- Use the restroom prior to testing.
- Avoid exercising 6-12 hour prior to testing.
- Avoid using lotion or ointment on hands or feet.
- Do not workout, condition, practice, or shower less than 1.5 hours before testing.
Body water volume is closely related to fat-free body mass. When fat-free mass is subtracted from total weight, body fat mass remains.
Adhesive tape electrodes are usually placed on the wrist and a fingertip. Voltage line and current flow line always overlap from a certain point, and that point is where measurement begins. However, it is almost impossible to place adhesive electrodes in the exact same place every time, thus the measurement starting points can differ. Rather than adhesive tape electrodes, InBody devices use tactile electrodes. Voltage line and current flow line overlap at the same point and allow for a secure and reproducible measurement starting point for each individual.
Changes in body composition reflect body status, which may be affected by factors such as disease, nutrition, hydration, and medication. Accessories such as jewelry may interfere with the electrical conductivity. Improper posture will also affect test results.
It is recommended to maintain the same testing conditions from test to test to produce high data reproducibility and comparability.
People with artificial electrical implants such as a defibrillator or pacemaker are not recommended to take an InBody Test. The electrical currents of the InBody may disrupt the functionality of life-sustaining implants.
Women who are on their menstrual cycle or are pregnant are not recommended to test as they may not obtain accurate results due to subtle changes in their hydration and body water levels.
- The use of multiple frequencies to accurately measure intracellular and extracellular water.
- 8-point tactile electrode system with thumb electrodes providing a direct and reproducible measurement.
- Segmental impedance measurements to include accurate lean body mass measurements of the trunk.
- No empirical estimations required.
