press release: Myzone
Myzone launches Switch 2.0, its most versatile wearable yet
Myzone has announced the launch of Switch 2.0, the next evolution of its most versatile wearable. Building on the success of the original Switch, the new device continues to give users the freedom to wear their monitor three different ways - on the chest, arm or wrist - while introducing a series of upgrades designed to enhance comfort, visibility and everyday usability.
Switch was created to support the many ways people move, train and stay active. Switch 2.0 builds on that foundation with improvements that help users stay more connected to their effort during every workout and throughout their daily movement. The device features a redesigned breathable wrist strap for greater comfort, a larger LED display that delivers clearer real-time effort feedback, and extended battery life to keep users engaged and motivated to move session after session.
The wearable continues to support Myzone’s mission of helping people understand and stay motivated by their effort, whether they are taking a morning walk, joining a group fitness class, cycling or swimming. By allowing users to easily switch between chest, arm and wrist wear, Switch 2.0 offers a flexible experience that adapts to different workouts, environments and personal preferences.
Jay Worthy, CEO, Myzone, said: “Switch 2.0 represents everything we believe a modern wearable should be: versatile, intuitive, motivating and built to give people clear feedback on their effort. This update reflects how closely we listen to our operator and user network. Their insights ensure we continually refine our ecosystem to keep pace with how people choose to move.”
Switch 2.0 reflects Myzone’s ongoing commitment to evolving its Motivation Technology (MoTech) ecosystem in keeping with the needs of its global community of operators and users.

In 2026, three key innovations will advance this mission:
• Strength Tracking, expanding our effort-based model beyond cardio;
• Garmin integration, increasing accessibility through connected wearables; and
• Switch 2.0, enhancing comfort, accuracy and usability.
Together, these developments reinforce our focus on Motivation Technology (MoTech), enabling greater engagement, consistency and long-term behaviour change. Our goal remains to help more people stay motivated to move, while equipping gyms with tools to improve member retention and outcomes.
“There is clear correlation between high Myzone engagement and strong coaching participation. It also creates stronger retention because members feel part of a community and have that extra layer of accountability that keeps them coming back.”
– Donald DesPierre III, fitness manager, Anytime Fitness Clubs
“At Thrive, we use Myzone during every session to help effectively coach our members to get the most out of the session. That doesn’t mean always pushing, but rather educating effort levels and helping with recovery. It helps members understand how to effectively train for different types of sessions from personal training to our fitness classes.”
– Jon Kohn, co-founder, Thrive Gyms
“That’s why I love using Myzone. We're also seeing our David Lloyd gym members using Myzone in the Pilates Reformer studio, too. Reformer is harder than it looks, and people are starting to see the benefits of a heart rate monitor within a wide variety of fitness training genres.
“We’ll all never go without it. I’ve got to get my MEPs!”
– Jodie Powell, group exercise supervisor, David Lloyd Raynes Park
