Schools need more than heart rate data. They need technology that helps teachers measure student effort, increase engagement, and make physical activity more meaningful.

With Heart Zones Move, PE teachers can monitor student effort in real time, track moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), personalize instruction, and help students take ownership of their fitness.

Discover what sets Heart Zones apart and why educators choose it for their PE programs.

More recess, better learning!

At Heart Zones, we believe movement and learning go hand in hand!

What if students could SEE their effort, UNDERSTAND their progress, and feel MOTIVATED to keep moving?

That's exactly what PE teacher Ami Schulte is bringing to life at Timberland High School in the Wentzville School District in Missouri!

Using the Heart Zones Move Solution, Ami is transforming physical education into an interactive learning experience where students receive instant feedback, discover how their bodies respond to exercise, and make meaningful connections between movement and learning.

It's more than tracking heart rates. It's about building confidence, encouraging participation, and empowering students to take ownership of their fitness.

We're excited to celebrate Ami Schulte and Timberland High School as a Heart Zones Model School!
