Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know

Latent blue. Just log a workout with the built in workout app under other activity. I use this when I play footie. Doesn't give me distance but monitors heart rate so I get points.

Yes Latent - this - the inbuilt work out app on the Apple Watch gives u the option of an Indoor run/ walk. And it's not completely inaccurate - after all you are just doing it for the points.

 

Using my Apple Watch I have established that just doing my job i walk between 5 &7kms a day!!

I'm just logging activity with mapmyfitness. All my rides after 28th December aren't showing up. They're investigating. Haven't asked me for tacx files or anything.

Fanie, how did you manage to rack up 41k points in 4 days? Please share.

We are 2 vitality members, both did the following

 

1x 50km mtb

1x 60km road ride

1x 28km run

1x gym visit

 

All with garmin and HR monitors

 

We completed all the online assessments including non smokers declaration

Is using a heart rate monitor imperative?

no points are based on avg speed over time or HR monitor over time (AFAIK)

 

I use a HR monitor as I track my fitness on Training Peaks

I achieved my goal but didn't get an sms. guess it's just another one of their teething issues

 

just send discovery vitality a message on FB or an email and they will process this manually. Had the same issue and they sorted it out, together with my workouts from last week so I have now achieved last weeks goal also.

 

For me, the system seems to be working much better this week, points are showing within seconds after uploads via Garmin connect.

For the Vitality Health Check - is it per calendar year?  Or do I need to wait x amount of time before I can go again?  I went beginning of December.

Couldn't find an answer to my question in this thread:

 

If you hit your goals, you get your gym fees back right.

So does this apply to any membership as well? i.e. National, Classic etc.

[dillon]

does anyone know if Virgin Active Red clubs are included in the discount structure?

I need to confirm this, but my feeling is that the national membership will get a 25% max additional discount (on top of the base 60%) so the reward will be the same in additional discount terms.

 

As I said though, to be confirmed. I want to know as well, seeing as I'm on a national membership.

When previously asked about it the discount only applies to the normal fee (classic or premium gyms) and not the additional national charge. Hopefully they change it.

Yes, i got the email from CSA yesterday, saying had been registered under team Vitality.

Thanks, so hopefully coming soon.

 

Glad I am not having as much issues as other people, only having the strava linked but achieving all my goals weekly. Just want to have a look at if goal is capped at 1200 still this year then I can order my watch as well. Waiting to get my new I phone 6 though.

Classic Clubs (melrose arch etc)?

 

If so, no.

I'll let you okes know as soon as I do. If one of you gets there before I do (still on holiday) then cool, post it on up. Preferably in the form of email correspondence, so we know it's real...
