Myzone has been recognized by the Fitness Industry Technology Council at FIBO 2026 as one of the fitness industry's top technology innovators. The brand is honored for its leadership in connected wearables and its evolution into a software-driven ecosystem that combines innovation with real-world operator impact and a commitment to responsible technology adoption.
Myzone continues to pioneer what it calls MoTech, or motivation technology, which shifts the focus from simply tracking performance to applying behavioral science principles that encourage exercise adherence. To support this shift Myzone has launched Switch 2.0, an upgrade to its most versatile wearable. The company has expanded its effort-based MEPs model beyond cardio into strength training so members can earn effort points during strength-based workouts.
The company is also integrating with Garmin, allowing Garmin smartwatch users to connect their workouts directly to the Myzone ecosystem through Myzone Go.
