I am looking to get a chest monitor to have a better idea of my workouts intensity. I have a Bremshey threadmilll that could use an analog-type 5khz sensor. However I would like to use it as well when doing stationary bike. Is there any device I could get that would work with the 5khz receiver of my threadmilll and record data to mfp as well? I doubt the analog device would connect to mfp or my iPhone as well unless there is a dual mode device available?

Any suggestion?

Thanks

    Polar H7. It works with my phone and many treadmills.

    I'll look into the H7. Upon quick review it looks like it is a Bluetooth device so digital... Not analog for the threadmill. However I usually have my tablet or phone while on the treadmill so the lack of analog may not be a showstopper after all.

    Would also consider other devices as well (watch?) if they could do both analog and digital.

    It is both. I own one and can confirm it works on my treadmill and my phone. It also works with some Polar watches (I do own some older ones but never tested it).
