Hi, I am looking to invest in a device I can wear to the gym to see how many calories I'm burning. I don't like to rely on the machines, and most of the time I'm doing a class. Any good suggestions??

    I have used two different Polar heart rate monitors and they both were excellent. Most of the machines at the gym will also work with the Polar signal so if you use a cardio machine it will display heart rate from the chest strap and not the (unreliable) handle sensors.

    Polar has a bunch of newer models that now work with smart phones. If I didn't have one, this is what I would get - I think it uses bluetooth. That way, you can log the exercise session online without any additional steps - you may be able to get it to go directly to myfitnesspal (it would seem like you should be able to do that).

    Thanks so much! I got the Polar FT7 for me and my husband, hopefully it will be what I'm looking for because I only read great things about it.
