YMCA Jump into MyZone Challenge

Join the YMCA of Metro Chicago for the Jump Into June MyZone Challenge, a month-long fitness competition designed to get you moving and motivated! From June 1–30, members across all YMCA hubs will compete to earn the most MyZone Effort Points (MEPs) — with prizes and a traveling trophy up for grabs. 

Here’s how it works: 

  • The top 5 members with the most MEPs at each hub will win a prize. 
  • The hub with the highest total MEPs will earn the MyZone Traveling Trophy and ultimate bragging rights! 


What is MyZone? 
MyZone is a wearable heart rate-based system that tracks your effort — not just your fitness. It monitors heart rate, calories burned, and time spent exercising, converting your activity into MEPs to reward your hard work. It’s a fun, motivating way to stay accountable and see your progress. 

Don’t have a MyZone belt? 
You can purchase one at your local YMCA for just $80. 

Whether you're a regular in group ex or just starting your fitness journey, this challenge is for everyone. Let’s jump into June together and make every effort count! Reach out to your YMCA front desk staff for more details or join the challenge through the YX app!
