(1 May, 2021) - An expert panel of 93 judges has voted Myzone as the Technology Company of the Year at the 2021 Fitness & Wellness Awards of Excellence, hosted by FIT Summit.
Sponsored by Life Fitness, this year’s judging criteria for the Technology Company of the Year Award was based on successful commercial expansion, future scalability, technological advancement, perception as an industry gamechanger, positive return on investment to the customer and the extent of industry collaboration.
Myzone was shortlisted alongside 13 other companies including Technogym, Mindbody, Therabody and Wexer, with the win announced as part of this year’s World Health, Fitness and Wellness Week Summit.
Upon accepting the award, Myzone Group CEO, Dave Wright, said: “Thanks Ross and all the team at the Health, Fitness and Wellness Summit. We are both honoured and delighted to receive this award.
“Obviously it wouldn’t be possible without the thousands of operators and millions of Myzone movers feeding in great feedback for us to be able to develop. It’s also not just the tech, but it’s down to our rockstar team.
The ceremony was held as part of the world’s largest and most influential online health, fitness and wellness conference, with over 3000 business owners, managers and investors in attendance learning from over 30 hours of business talks.
“This was an incredibly hard award to choose from; especially when technology and digital has accelerated so quickly in the past 12 to 15 months,” explains Ross Campbell, founder and CEO of FIT Summit, who presented the award.
“The companies had been shortlisted by our judging faculty for their extraordinary growth and ability to pioneer the marketplace.
“Congratulations to Myzone for a phenomenal achievement over the last 12 months. Dave and his team have produced some phenomenal engagement, some phenomenal new product iterations.
“They've really flown the flag for us in terms of being ambassadors and advocates for everything that's gone through the Marketplace. Congratulations to Myzone for everything that they've done.”

About Myzone
Myzone is a unique wearable fitness brand that rewards effort rather than ability, motivating its users to feel good about exercise and work harder. Myzone uses inclusive, game-based mechanics and social elements to build communities together on the Myzone app. Myzone creates personalised zones for each user, based on their maximum heart-rate, which means anyone can compete together on a level playing field.
Myzone develops accurate wearable technology, to provide engaging and motivational experiences, which support behaviour change to make exercise habits stick. Myzone is used by 1.8 million people and already represented in over 7500 facilities in 84 countries.
The most accurate calorie cruncher on the market – the chest strap boasts a heart rate accuracy of 99.4% ECG and the wrist watch a 95% PPG accuracy and in conjunction with personal body metrics, it ensures calorie-burning calculations are supremely accurate and personal to individuals in your community.
It praises like a PT – Unlike other activity monitors Myzone rewards effort not fitness, motivating everyone to work harder. Myzone recognises everyone is different, so it creates a handicap for every user, based on their maximum heart-rate, which effectively means members can compete with anyone on a level playing field.
It’s a multiplayer game – Myzone is massively addictive, challenging and motivating. Use the app to create competitions with friends or plot your progress on the leader board as Myzone turns effort into points, and then equates them to the World Health Organization’s guidelines for physical activity.
It’s Facebook for physical activity – Myzone has its own social media network. Use it to follow friends, analyse workouts, then ‘like’ or comment on their efforts to stay connected - whether you are competitive or love collecting those likes to keep you moving. Together we are stronger, with the unbeatable connected experience.
