RIDE indoor cycling measures its performance with MYZONE

The Australian based producers of the RIDE indoor cycling system have announced MYZONE® as its preferred heart rate training provider for it's program, instructors and participants.

Program Director and Creator of RIDE, Matty Clarke states "we are very happy to have MYZONE on board because it compliments our brand so well, with both products' main drive being to get people moving and interacting with their workouts more frequently with guided and accurately measured results."

Clarke, along with Co-Director Melinda Woods are currently on a national tour showcasing their newest release, RIDE 7. Their latest addition to the program features the MYZONE® heart rate intensity guides and workout data.

As Woods explains "with the inclusion of the MYZONE data, RIDE keeps gaining strength as a performance based program for the indoor cyclist.

"Having started work on this project nearly 10 years ago, we are really gaining some momentum nationally with over 100 qualified RIDE Instructors teaching the program all around Australia. We are really excited to take RIDE to the next level with MYZONE.

Clarke adds "being able to integrate the MYZONE Heart Rate Intensity measurements into our program has given us the ability to provide a more accurate coaching method to our instructors, who in turn can pass that information on to the participants in their RIDE classes. We understand the benefits of clear and correct information when it comes to coaching exercise intensity."

MYZONE is a heart rate monitoring system, whereby gym members own their very own MYZONE heart rate belt, which wirelessly records and uploads exercise data into the users online account. They then view all their workouts online to track and measure their progress.

Ash Robertson, General Manager Asia Pacific for CFM, Global Distributers of MYZONE explains "the RIDE indoor cycling program takes gym users on a structured indoor cycling journey set to an amazing soundtrack with training outcomes as if they were riding outdoors, yet in the safety of the indoor cycling studio. Developed with a unique mix of strength, speed, endurance and power sections, the class is challenging for all who participate.

"We are delighted to have an agreement with Matty and the RIDE team, we believe that the RIDE program really compliments the measurement and data capabilities of the MYZONE system, ensuring that every minute of the session can be easily communicated to gym members in clear, colour-coded guidance as to what heart rate zones they need to be working in to get the most fitness benefit from their exclusive RIDE program design.

"Being able to log onto their MYZONE Account at the end of the session and view their workout in an easy to understand format will ensure gym members are having a more engaging experience with while at the gym, and in this case during the experience of a RIDE indoor cycling class."

RIDE 7 was released on the 11th of February 2012 with Master class sessions, workshops and Instructor Training occurring nationally with their licensed partners.
