The Science Behind Switchboard -How The Fitness Vault (TFV)’s Heart Rate Training Gets You Fitter, Faster

Most gyms promise results, but very few can explain how they deliver them. At The Fitness Vault (TFV) in Hamilton, we take a science-backed approach to fitness. One of our most effective tools? A Cardio conditioning session called Switchboard.

Whether your goal is to burn fat, improve endurance, or build a bulletproof engine, training in the right heart rate zones will help yopureach your goal, a whole lot faster! Our new Monday workout Switchboard is designed specifically around this principle.

Let’s break down what makes this workout so powerful and why it helps our members get fitter, faster.

What Is The Fitness Vault (TFV)'s new workout Switchboard?

Switchboard is an incredible low impact, cardio conditioning workout, designed to push you through specific energy zones with intent.

Instead of “just working out,” you’re following a session that moves you through:

• Aerobic base work (Zone 2)

• Threshold (Zone 4)

• Max Effort (Zone 5)

This means you’re not guessing your intensity, you’re training with purpose.

Why Heart Rate Zones Matter More Than You Think

Heart rate zones are ranges that represent how hard your heart is working. Different zones trigger different adaptations:

• Zone 2 – Builds aerobic base and fat efficiency

• Zone 4 – Improves endurance and muscular stamina

• Zone 5 – Boosts anaerobic capacity and speed

At TFV, our coaches program Switchboard sessions to hit the right zones for the day’s goal. Whether you’re building an aerobic engine or pushing intensity thresholds, your training is intentional.

Real Coaching, Real Data, Real Results

We don’t believe in mindless movement. That’s why Switchboard uses tools like MyZone to track and display your real-time heart rate on the gym floor.

You’re not training blind, you know exactly how hard you're working and when to push or recover. And our expert coaches in Hamilton and Ascot guide you through every stage of the session.

This blend of technology and hands-on coaching creates an unmatched training experience.
