Suunto

Smarter Training for Better Results

Now available at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre and Exe Valley Leisure Centre is a system by Sunnto that enables you to train smarter for better results. When you spend time and effort in the fitness studio having a workout it would be ideal to know that your programme is effective and that you will achieve your desired results in the near future. The Suunto system will help you to acheve this.

The Suunto system will email your personal inbox with a set of results from your workout, based upon your heart rate and recommended training zones. This is possible by wearing a Suunto heart rate monitor that communicates with a special sensor in the fitness studio. The heart rate monitor tracks your heart rate throughout your workout and sends this information to through a Suunto computer programme located near to the fitness studio, this is then presented in the form of useful graphs and information about your heart rate in relation to the different training zones. These are based upon the percentage of the true maximum heart rate zone: easy (<60%), moderate (60 - 70%), hard (70 - 80%), very hard (80 - 90%) and maximal (>90%).

You will begin to build up over time a record of all your recent sessions and will see if you are: recovering, maintaining, improving, highly improving or over reaching.  The effectiveness of your workouts will become evident, allowing you to adapt your programme and settings to ensure that you are able to see real results from the most effective programme.

The Suunto heart rate monitor belts are available to buy at reception and a member of the fitness team will help you to set up your profile on the Suunto system. After that, each time you use your belt your results will automatically be emailed home for you.

For a limited time, the belts are available for £39.99 (with a recommended retail price of £69.99). The fitness staff are available to give programme and fitness advice and help you to get the results you desire. Lifestyle Plus Members benefit from one to one assessments and programmes, which, combined with the Suunto training system will help to motivate and encourage you on your journey to better fitness.
