Heart Rate Monitoring & Data Use
At BEAT81, we provide complimentary heart rate sensors for every workout. These track your calories burned, heart rate, and BeatPoints to ensure you get the most from your session.
Why Provide Health Details?
Health data like age, weight, and height helps calibrate the sensors for precise tracking.Optional Participation:
You can train without the sensor, but won’t receive personalised stats or heart rate insights.
How Maximum Heart Rate Is Calculated?
Your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the highest number of beats per minute your heart can achieve during maximum effort. It’s estimated using the formula:
220 - Your Age = MHR
While this works for most people, individual differences mean your actual MHR might vary. If your heart rate readings seem inaccurate—such as exceeding 100% of your MHR or staying low despite intense effort—speak to your coach who will be able to help you adjust it.
How Calories Are Measured
Calories burned during workouts are calculated using your height, weight, age, and sex, combined with real-time heart rate data from the chest sensor. The final results also include the calories burned during the "after-burn effect."
Unlock the After-Burn Effect
Our workouts are designed to keep you in your optimal training zone, spending at least 15 minutes above 81% of your maximum heart rate. This triggers the "after-burn effect" (EPOC), boosting your metabolism so you burn up to 15% more calories post-workout—even while relaxing!
Post-Workout Results
Post-workout emails are sent 2–3 hours after your class. If you don’t receive one, check your spam folder or access your workout results in the app. If the issue persists, contact our support team.
