BioForce HRV (Heart Rate Variability), Smart Training System for Training Optimization, Includes Heart Monitor

When the BioForce system arrived, I was unable to to log in onto their website, and therefore I was unable to use the corresponding App. I contacted BioForce's customer support through their website describing my issue, and to my surprise within a couple of day the company's owner Joel Jamieson personally contact me and resolved my issue immediately despite the fact that I had already returned the product.Joel addressed the issue to my total and complete satisfaction!!As a matter of fact I've never experienced anything like the service I received from BioForce. Joel's commitment to TOTAL customer satisfaction is impressive.So far this is my 4th day with the product and I am more than happy with it.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS THROUGH AMAZON. I purchased this Bioforce HRV through Amazon. However, the quick start guide that comes with it tells me that it cannot be used without first creating an account. When I attempt to create an account it tells me I cannot create one without first purchasing a BioForce HRV and it directs me to the page to purchase one. This cannot be used without the software, and the software cannot be downloaded unless you purchase the hardware through their site. You can't even contact customer support on their site without first creating an account, which as stated, can't be done unless you purchase directly through them and not through Amazon. This is such an obvious mistake. How could they not have anticipated this issue?

This item is not as described online. Do not buy it!! It is a total waste of money! And beware- after you open it and find out what it is- a book, a strap, and a small black GADGET to put on the strap and want to return it- the website then tells you it is not returnable.

The concept of HRV as determinative of stress and exercise readiness is new to me. The device and the website work flawlessly and seem to be an advance on my years of guessing about my readiness for an intense workout..

Turned out to be soft cover book and off-brand heart rate monitor. Maybe worth $25. Definitely not worth the $250 they want for it. Total waste of money. There are free apps that can do this with your existing heart rate monitor, and a few cheap paid ones that can do it with your smartphone alone.

Let me start by saying I'm not a great athlete. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week and run one half marathon a year. This tool has been a life changer! I've been using it for over a year now and I can't believe the difference it's made in my life. You know those days when you go to the gym and you just aren't "feeling it?" Everything is hard and you can't do what you normal can? This totally helps you avoid that! It tells you when you should take a day off or when you can go hard. Using this I was able to shave a over minute per mile for all thirteen miles off my half marathon from last year to this year. I beat my pr by over 15 minutes! After using it for a while I was able to pick up lifestyle trends that affect my training as well. I now know even one glass of wine at dinner will cause me to be slow the next day. I'm so grateful to have this in my training!

I have been using BioForce for 1 1/2 years now and it's changed EVERYTHING. I now have a clear guide on when I can push my body hard at the gym and when I need to back off, or (sadly) not go at all. Even better, I can see a huge difference in my HRV based off of how much or little sleep I've gotten, whether I've let my diet slip, if I've experienced travel fatigue/jet lag, or if I've been under emotional or mental stress from work. I have been able to catch periods of too much stress before I've driven myself into the ground, and have been able to reverse the damage to get right back on track. I cannot imagine going back to all the guesswork that made up my training beforehand.In short, love the product, love the company, and would recommend BioForce HRV to anyone.

I've always been someone that pushed myself hard in the gym, sometimes too hard. Using BioForce HRV has exceeded my expectations by far. After using the last 3 minutes, I've been able to make more consistent progress and I'm actually training less than I was before instead of more. I was skeptical that it was really going to have any impact on my training, I've tried other fitness tech devices before, but so far BioForce HRV has been the only one that gave me useful information that I could immediately apply to my training. Highly recommend this product for anyone like me that always puts 100% into the gym, but doesn't feel like they're seeing the results they could be. Using BioForce HRV has shown me that sometimes less really is more and I'm loving it!
