Next Level Group Fitness

Starting February 1st, ORC's new **No Limits** classes will be Polar Enabled. See your real-time heart rate and get immeadiate feedback. Keep these stats and effortlessly track your progress.

##### Already Have a Recent Polar Monitor?

You may already be set! Otherwise, the Polar OH1 is available for purchase at reception for $90 plus tax. These monitors are totally waterproof and will track all activity, not just No Limits classes. 

Real Tough Workout.  
 Real Time Results.

 No Limits at ORC

The OH1 sensor will connect you to No Limits like never before. Use the sensor in other group fitness classes to track your workouts.

 Muscle Memory

Use it during all your workouts and get detailed statistics over time. See your progress over days, weeks, months and years!

 Pool Your Knowledge

The OH1 sensor is waterproof, allowing you to track your swim or any other aquatic activities.

 Game, Set, Stats

Take the OH1 on-court to add a whole new dimension to your tennis. Thought maybe you had a tough game? Running up and down the court? The OH1 will tell you for sure, every match.

 Play Hard

You don't need to be at ORC to use the Polar OH1. Even a game of basketball with a few friends is a great reason to wear it. Track your exercise even when it doesn't feel like exercise.

ORC has created new, Polar-Enabled classes for members who want more from their workout. Get real-time feedback, see your heart-rate zone on the big screen during class, track your progress both in and out of the club.

Reviews & Testimonials

No Limits with Polar Stat Tracking

- The group atmosphere and having the Polar monitors created accountability plus motivated everyone to push their limits. Yes, I dd see results in my weight, my endurance, and strength. It is the most calories i've ever burned in an hour! (I think - it's the first time I really measured it!)

- The class was fast paced, hard and fun and the minutes just flew by. Doing the class on a Monday night was a great way to kick start the week.

- Great trainer, friendly members and supportive atmosphere... I am proud of myself to have completed it. Great cardio work (my weakness). Great to see improvements in my recovering heart rate after many weeks.

#### [ Do I Need to Buy My Polar Monitor from ORC? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-0)

Nope! Any recent bluetooth-enabled Polar monitor is compatible with No Limits or any other Polar-Enabled classes.

---

#### [ Is No Limits the only Polar-Enabled class? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-1)

For the moment, yes. However we would like to expand our list of Polar-Enabled classes soon. If this is something you want too, [let us know](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d8b1b6beb798b7b6acb9aab1b7aab9bba9adbdacbbb4adbaf6bbb7b5e7abadbab2bdbbace588b7b4b9aafdeae89db6b9bab4bdbcfdeae89bb4b9ababbdab)!

---

#### [ What Do I Need For the Polar Monitor to Work? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-2)

Although the Polar OH1 monitor can connect and sync with a Mac or PC, we highly suggest you pair it to the [Polar Beat app](https://www.polar.com/ca-en/products/polar_beat) for your iPhone or Android phone.

 It will work with the iPhone 4S and later; Android mobile devices with Bluetooth 4.0 capability and Android 4.4 or later. These are very old devices, so if your Apple or Android smartphone was purchased in the last three or four years, chances are you're fine. 

---

#### [ Do I Need to Keep My Phone With Me? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-3)

Nope! The Polar OH1 can store up to 200 hours of training data. Many people turn on the monitor in the locker room, set their activity, then leave their phone in their locker.

---

#### [ Is the OH1 Monitor Waterproof? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-4)

Yes! The OH1 monitor is waterproof up to 30 m.

---

#### [ Can I Use the Polar Monitor Outside of the ORC? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-5)

Yes! Even if you never attend a No Limits class, you can monitor any exercise, workout or activities with the Polar OH1 monitor.

---

#### [ How Long is the Battery Life? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-6)

The OH1 can get 12 hours of training time from a single battery charge.

---

#### [ How Do I Clean the Armband? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-7)

The Polar OH1 armband is machine washable. Throw it in the wash with your workout gear!

---

#### [ How Do I Wear the OH1 Armband? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-8)

The armband can go on your upper arm or forearm, on either hand. The monitor should be "on the inside", so the green lights are in direct contact with your skin.

---

#### [ What's the Difference Between this and my Fitbit or Nike Fitness Tracker? ](https://www.ontarioracquetclub.com/polar#collapse-CMSEditable_5a6901556af30-9)

While there are many different makes and models of fitness trackers, most people use their "Fitbit" simply to track their number of steps every day.

The Polar OH1 is a dedicated optical heart rate tracker, which will carefully monitor your moment-to-moment heart rate and give you meaningful information to improve your workout.
