Collection: Heart Rate Monitor

Heart rate belts and heart rate monitors are indispensable tools for any athlete who wants to train intelligently and purposefully. Whether you are a new exerciser, an ambitious triathlete or an experienced cyclist, heart rate monitoring can give you valuable insight into your training intensity and physical response. By measuring your heart rate during training, you get a clear picture of how your body is working – and thus also a solid indicator of whether you are training in the right zone. At Transition Zone, we sell carefully selected heart rate belts and heart rate monitors from recognized brands such as Wahoo, Garmin and Coros, all known for precision and comfort.

A reliable heart rate monitor is the foundation of zone-based training, where you adjust the intensity based on your heart rate. It makes it easier to structure your training, ensure adequate recovery, and avoid overtraining. At the same time, you get the opportunity to compare workouts over time and see concrete progress. If you want to make your training more effective while avoiding pushing your body too hard, a heart rate monitor is a simple but powerful investment.

There are two main ways to measure heart rate: via a classic heart rate belt with electrodes worn around the chest, or via an optical heart rate monitor, which is typically located in your running watch or sports watch. Although optical heart rate measurement is convenient and easy to use in everyday life, heart rate monitors are still the most accurate choice – especially for intensive training, interval workouts or competitions. Heart rate monitors such as the Wahoo Tickr, Garmin HRM-Pro and Coros Upper Arm Heart Rate Monitor are among the most reliable on the market and are used by both elite athletes and coaches worldwide.

A heart rate monitor directly records your heart's electrical signals and responds quickly to changes in intensity. This means you get more accurate data, especially during fluctuating pace and high exertion - something optical monitors have a harder time keeping up with. If you want to be sure that your data is reliable, a heart rate monitor is still the best choice.

The choice of heart rate monitor depends on how and where you train. For running and cycling, most modern heart rate monitors are compatible with watches, bike computers and home trainers. Many models have both ANT+ and Bluetooth, so you can easily connect them to apps like Zwift, Garmin Connect and Wahoo SYSTM. In addition, some models – such as the Garmin HRM-Pro – offer advanced data such as running dynamics and heart rate while swimming.

If you train indoors, a heart rate monitor is a perfect match for your home trainer and Zwift. If you train outdoors and want to track your performance over time, it's obvious to choose a model with a long battery life and a waterproof design. Several models can also store heart rate data directly in the monitor, which is useful if you don't always have your bike computer or watch with you.
