About Polar @ Fitness Megastore

Why Polar

It was not always the case that Athletes / keep fit enthusiasts listened to their bodies. Overtraining and even undertraining would be quite common place. As a consequence many Athletes / individuals never reach their true potential. It is widely accepted that in order to maximise your true potential you must listen to your body and act upon the information received. This is of course as true for the Olympic athlete as it is for the many thousands of us that simply want to develop a healthier lifestyle, aid rehabilitation or manage weight. Polar have been leading the way in technological innovations and Heart Rate Monitoring since 1977. They cater for all levels of fitness by offering a comprehensive product range.

Our Aim

Our aim is simple - to be the largest supplier of Polar heart rate monitors in the UK and in doing so help to educate and develop the knowledge and understanding of the principles of Heart Rate Monitoring. We believe we have the right choice in Polar - Our enthusiastic staff all exercise at different levels using a variety of Polar Heart Rate Monitors to track their progress.

Purchasing from Polar @ fitness megastore

We are both ambitious and excited about working with the proven Polar brand. However, we know that it takes more than that to convert visitors to our site into customers. We strive to make purchasing a Polar Heart Rate Monitor both simple and economical. To this end we believe that the many thousands of Heart Rate Monitors we have sold so far are down to the 3 main reasons stated below.

• Price - As an Internet company, we know how much price matters. We have always been recognised as having the lowest prices on the net. However, if this is not the case, we operate a price match guarantee (conditions apply). Why order elsewhere if you can get it delivered Next Working Day from a Specialist Company?
  


• Next Day Delivery - As individuals we know what it is like to purchase off the Internet...as soon as we order we want it yesterday. To ensure more people buy from us we offer next day delivery on the whole range of Polar products. Even the tiny accessories! This way we have put together the benefits of buying on the high street, with the ease and cost of purchasing on-line. We also have a Showroom in Hartlepool where you are welcome to come along for face to face advice or touch and feel any of the products you are interested in. If you live locally you are also more than welcome to come and pick up your purchase. 
  

• Polar Team - From the early days when we started selling Polar, we used the products. We now have a whole team of full time staff ready and able to answer queries from all our Internet customers. You will find that if you e-mail through working hours, it will be replied to within half an hour. It is Our Company Policy that every member of the team has their own heart rate monitor - so they are advising based on their own experience with the products.

Meet The Polar Team

Luke - When Luke joined the company he had no knowledge of Polar heart rate monitors. He ran a lot as a hobby, so as soon as he began the Polar course we gave him the RS800SD. It was soon the best training partner he had ever had! He now uses it on every run and stores all of his data straight onto his laptop. He is now able to view all his progress since he started using it via the Polar Pro Trainer 5 software.

Gary - Gary has 30 years experience in fitness. He used to represent the country in Karate. He uses the F55 in his intense workouts to monitor his cardio fitness level through the OwnIndex fitness test. He finds it provides a lot of motivation to push himself further as he can see his fitness level in the form of a number.

Craig - Craig is a handyman we hired initially to assist in the developement of  our showroom. It was when he looked upon the shiny titanium face of the AXN700 that he fell in love!  When he asked for it instead of cash we found that he had something which we love to see - enthusiasm for the product. After he had used his new toy for a couple of months, stopped smoking and started training every night in our showroom, we offered him a full time job.

Gwen - Gwen has been in the company for over 12 years. She walks a lot as her way to keep in good shape. It was only when she started to use the F11 that she noticed that she was not pushing herself as hard as she thought, and found herself out of breath quite quickly when working at a higher rate. After using the fitness test and making sure she works at a higher rate her fitness has improved dramatically, and she has a much better attitude to her training.

Alyson - Alyson is a young lady who like Gwen kept in shape by going on long walks. What became apparent to her when she started using the Polar F6 was that she did not burn as many calories on these long walks as she would have thought. She was also quite surprised that her cardio fitness was not as good as she would have thought it to be. The information provided by the Polar f6 motivated Alyson to intermittently increase her pace and work slightly harder. The result was that her cardio fitness increased and she also burnt more calories per walk - Happy Days!
