This Glossary will help you as you begin building your MZ-Smart Station classes:
| Exercise | The single movement or activity (such as a kettlebell swing, a treadmill speed, or a boxing combo). |
| Group | A group of class participants, selected by the class instructor. Each group will move from station to station, with their heart rate tiles moving from Station to Station with them. |
| Station | The physical area where one group of participants perform exercises displayed on the screen. |
| Screen |
The TV or monitor that displays both the class participants’ heart rate tiles, and exercise content. |
| Primary Console | The Myzone touchscreen console that controls the class. One Primary Myzone PC is required. |
| Console (Secondary) | Myzone PC which may have one or more physical screens attached. Up to 11 Myzone PCs can be supported. These are controlled by the Primary Console. |
To create a class:
1. Go to the class creator and start creating a new class.
2. Name the class, click on MZ-Instruct, set the number of exercises for your class, then check the box for MZ-Smart Station.
3. Click the green plus to start building your first class element.
4. Add your exercises and assign the corresponding stations.
To create your first station, click the drop-down and begin typing in the box. Click the green plus sign to create the new station. Complete this step to add as many stations as you need.
Stations, are areas where groups perform the exercises.
5. Next, assign the groups who will be performing the exercise at that station using the drop-down arrow under 'group.'
Remember, groups are the tiles/ members that rotate together through stations.
6. For this example, each station has been named with a number that corresponds to a screen with the same number
Each station has its own group of members, so as the class plays, six separate sets of tiles will move between the screens to each smart station.
As you continue building your class, the exercises and stations will remain the same, however, the GROUPS will rotate and change stations.
To rotate the groups, click the group rotate button. Keep clicking until you have the desired order.
If you wish to show the same tiles on all screens, do not assign a group for Smart Station.
Example of an MZ-Smart Station Class:
Note that when you build a class, the order of the exercises at the stations remains the same. Only the groups rotate.
Let's take a look at an example:
- You will notice there are 3 stations with 1 exercise at each.
- Each class line is repeated 3 times so that each group can rotate through the stations once. This is represented by the blue, green, and orange boxes.
- Note the exercises stay the same at the stations. Only the groups change.
- Add in rest and transition periods which occur after each class line.
When you have finished creating your class, be sure to click the green save button at the bottom of the class.
