MyZone: What’s in it for YOU?
Here’s what Carey O’Neil has to say about her experience with MYZONE…
“I love my MyZone strap! I love seeing how hard I’m really working. It has made me stronger being able to look up and see the monitor and tell myself that I can work harder and then I do. I love seeing other peoples’ too. After class you can talk to someone and tell them they did great and to keep it up!”
