The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 is a petite fitness tracker

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is a cheap fitness tracker. It costs $50, or around 35 in the UK.

This band is significantly more affordable than the Fitbit Inspire HR or Samsung Galaxy Fit, and even undercuts the otherwise great value Huawei Band 4 Pro.

Is the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 too good to be true? For the most part, it is not. However, there are some weaker parts to consider.

This review will break down the positives before switching to the negative Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 elements, and then a look at some of its additional features.

Want the quick verdict? The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is a great value tracker for those short on funds.

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 does not have its own GPS chip, but it does have Connected GPS. This uses the location data from your phone to provide accurate distance stats, and maps for your runs and rides.

This is important, as the bands accelerometer-derived estimates are not particularly accurate when running. Connected GPS makes the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 a fair, at the very least, tracker for serious runners.

Just make sure its setup before you start running: the process isnt as seamless as other Connected GPS devices.

It is not the thinnest band, but is smaller than a smartwatch

Most cheap fitness bands offers just a few different watch faces. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 has loads. There are 57 in my review sample.

Three are preloaded, the other 54 can be syncd using the Mi Fit companion app. Some are cringeworthy, but handfuls are not. A new watch face is a quick way to give the band a fresh look every few weeks.

Thousands of additional designs can also be added using third party apps. Xiaomi takes a far more open approach than most, and you get the benefit. The designs are almost limitless, and feature info beyond the basics, such as the step count, heart rate and battery life.

Here are just some of the Mi Band 5's built-in watch faces

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5s battery drained almost strangely slowly to start, seeming only to drop a few per cent each day. This is because a lot of the advanced features are switched off as standard, but its battery life is still excellent with most turned on.

Xiaomi says the tiny 125mAh battery lasts up to 14 days, which seems perfectly believable. You will see shorter battery life if you max out display brightness (needed for outdoors workouts) and look at notifications all through the day. However, advanced features like all-day heart rate tracking dont seem to have a party-ruining effect on stamina.

Expect the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 to last a week of solid use, including some tracked runs, and you wont be disappointed. This beats both the Galaxy Fit and Fitbit Inspire HR.

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 can receive notifications from any app you like. Emails, Whatsapps and SMS are all invited.

Its vibration motor buzzes as these come in, and the display lights-up. You cant read full emails, as this is a basic tracker rather than a smartwatch, but unread items do stay in a Notifications section until you take a look.

As in the Huawei Band Pro series, notifications handling feels a little fiddly. But it is good enough to let you check email headers and messages without taking out your phone. It ticks off the basics.

You flick up and down on the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5s screen to scroll through each of its main functions. Each primary feature gets a page with a colourful icon. I recommend you prune these down, as the 11 homscreens are a few too many to flick through every day.

The Mi Fit phone app lets you choose which get a spot on the interface. Keep it to four or five of the ones you actually use and the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 will feel slicker.

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 has a 1.1-inch full colour 294 x 126 pixel OLED screen. This is much more advanced than the monochrome display of the Galaxy Fit E. Its very sharp, colourful and the pure black of the OLED panel looks great against the black surround.

The display covering is glass rather than plastic, which is seen in some budget trackers. And maximum brightness is good, with enough power to make the screen clear when you go for a run on a sunny day.

The screen offers OLED black and a curved glass top

Xiaomi claims the Mi Smart Band 5s optical heart rate (PPG) sensor is 50% more accurate than that of the Mi Band 4. The main positive observation in testing is that it responds very quickly to drops in exertion, and fairly quickly to increases.

It also does not have one issue noted in my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review, of overestimating your heart rate if you begin tracking during a low-key pre-run warm up.

The Mi Band 5 has a dual-LED PPG heart rate sensor

Does this mean the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 heart rate sensor is better than the Galaxy Watch 3s? No, it does not.

It is more erratic, with the occasional leap to the ~120bpm range when the rate should be around 70bpm. Mid-workout comparisons with the Wahoo Kickr HR chest strap also suggest the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 makes significant use of cadence data to pre-empt actual drops and rises in heart rate.

Heart rate readings dropped more quickly in the Mi Smart Band 5 than the strap, before normalising, when slowing from a run to walking pace. And its actual bpm accuracy is only OK, with fairly frequent differences of 4-8bpm at consistent exertion levels.

It appears to make significant use of HR prediction to patch up the limitations of a basic PPG sensor.

Resting heart rate readings are not handled particularly well either. Rather than waiting for the correct reading, it usually displays a much higher one before locking onto the correct heart rhythm.

However, look back at the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5s automatic readings in the Mi Fit app and you shouldnt see too many odd blips where a high resting heart rate has been recorded. The app stores a graph of your heart rate through the day.

The Mi Band 5 doesn't have a standard watch band, typical of an entry-level tracker

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is not the most comfortable budget fitness tracker. Its band is a simple silicone affair with a prong and hole mechanism, not a traditional watch type.

However, its the style and shape of the main unit that causes the lingering problem. The body of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is largely flat, with a lump that holds the HR sensor.

This means the main points of contact are this HR mound and the back of the strap. Wear it with a fit tight enough for accurate heart rate readings and youll see a pronounced indent in your skin each time you take it off.

The Fitbit Inspire HR and Huawei Band Pro series watches are more comfortable, because the points of contact are larger, spreading the pressure.

The Mi Band 5 is not the most comfy fitness tracker

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 also lacks an ambient light sensor, used by phones and smartwatches to alter the display brightness to suit your surroundings. Brightness has to be changed manually.

You will need to do this if you want to make the screen visible during outdoors workouts and keep the battery lasting a week or more.

A lack of auto brightness is not surprising in a cheap but otherwise feature-rich tacker. But it should be quicker to alter manually. It takes eight swipes and taps to reach the brightness control, which is about six too many.

A solution? The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 should make a screen brightness control widget. I need to use it far more often than the Weather, Stress, PAI or Breathing shortcuts.

A greater sin: the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 does not have an always-on screen mode. This is absent to ensure fairly good battery life no matter the number of features you have switched on, like 24/7 heart rate sensing. 10 seconds is the maximum screen time-out.

The Mi Band 5 has a great screen, just not an always-on one

However, a fitness tracker should have, at the very least, an always-on screen feature for workouts. Thankfully, there is a mode that turns the display on when you turn wrist to face, and there are customisable sensitivity settings for this.

This flick to wake mode, and the vast majority of its useful extra features, are not switched on as standard.

Until you go into the Mi Fit app and turn then on, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 seems a little inert. Extras you may want to turn on include notifications, lift-to-wake, SMS alerts, incoming call alerts, activity monitoring, stress monitoring and GPS via the app. More should probably be enabled as standard.

The Mi Fit also features an ad slot, populated by Xiaomi sub-brand Amazfit during testing. Its not what you want to see, or accidentally touch, after paying out for the companys products.

The Chinese version of the Mi Smart Band 5, called the Mi Band 5, has NFC. This is used for wireless payments, but the feature is missing on the international model.

The Mi Smart Band 5 has 11 tracker modes, including running and cycling both inside and outdoors, rowing, yoga, jump rope and "freestyle".

There are some neat specific extras in a few of these. Youll see lengths in the indoors swimming mode, a stroke count in rowing and the number of jumps in rope-skipping.

As the swim mode suggests, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is ready for the pool with 50m (5ATM) water resistance too.

Flick through the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5s screens and youll see one called PAI. This acts as a point-based indication of your activity level through the span of a week. The idea is you should keep it at 100 or above at all times. You might get on with it, but it doesnt not offer any great insight if you already exercise regularly.

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 offers the typical sleep tracking experience. Wear the band overnight and youll see your sleep and wake-up times, and a breakdown of your REM, light and deep sleep segments.

This seems no less accurate than the category average, although the testing period was blissfully free of the broken sleep that might highlight missed wakeful periods.

Here's how your nights of sleep are represented in Mi Fit

Theres a stress monitor function too. This grades you using a fairly rudimentary system, most likely based on current heart rate versus normal resting heart rate and heart rate variability. Its not particularly useful as a manual feature to set off. But you can take a look back over the day in the Mi Fit app if you have a stinker of an afternoon and want proof of its awfulness.

Shutter Camera control is the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5s one Labs feature. You can set off the camera shutter with a press on the bands display. It works perfectly well, tested with the Moto G Pro.

The one homepage shortcut not turned on as standard is Cycles. This is a period tracking feature, but I havent been able to test it.

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 also offers basic music control. This is not relayed in one of the primary shortcuts. You have to dig into the menu a little, but it does let you change the track, pause and control volume fairly easily.

None of the little hidden extras are missing either. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 has alarms, it can be used to keep your phone unlocked and theres a find my phone feature. Very handy.

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 does a lot for a small amount of money. Its most important extra is Connected GPS, from a fitness tracking perspective.

The heart rate tracker seems to have a highly algorithm-led approach that does not always show you the right reading, but it does a fair job of showing your exertion as long as you dont look too close at the data. And, to be honest, you can only really tell by comparing it to a more accurate chest strap sensor.

Huaweis Smart Band 4 Pro is arguably even better, with built-on GPS and a more comfortable design, but the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is an excellent choice if every dollar counts.

TUCSON (KVOA) - Pima County residents who have been craving to pump some iron and work up a sweat may have a place to go soon after LA Fitness announced Wednesday that it will begin opening its gyms across Arizona on Thursday.

After ajudge ruledthat Arizona gyms should have the opportunity to reopen on Aug. 4, Arizona Department of Health Services released its benchmarks counties need to reach in order to allow businesses, such as gyms and fitness clubs, to resume operations.

ADHS announced Tuesday that Pima, Pinal and Maricopa counties are projected to reach the requirements to allow indoor gyms and fitness centers to open at 25 percent capacity by Thursday.

With this new information, LA Fitness shared that is plans to start reopening its facilities that day.

At this time, LA Fitness officials have not shared at what capacity their gyms will be open or which gyms across Pima County will reopen Thursday.

Some wellness-focused Instagram accounts are totally worth the #regram. Others? Not so much. Heres how to sort through your social media feeds to separate the good advice from the bad.

Illustration by Jeannie Phan

The Insta-Myth: Everything you see on the Gram is real.

Reality Check: Given that were all spending more time on social media, its easier than ever to see the chiseled arms of a fitness instructor or someones perfect breakfast bowl and feel like were coming up short in our own lives. But dont be fooled: Sarah Polacco, a strength coach at Achieve Fitness in Somerville, says that when it comes to fitness accounts, most pictures are professionally taken at specific angles that minimize flaws. The videos and pictures you see are just a snapshot of a moment and not a full view of everything thats happening, she adds.

The Insta-Myth: Detoxes and cleanses are good for the body.

Reality Check: These kinds of fad diets may be marketed as magic pills by some social media influencers, but the truth is, cutting out entire food groups and ignoring your hunger cues is not good for the body or mind, says registered dietitian Alexis Penney, owner of Shanti Nutrition. By restricting yourself, she notes, your hunger response goes into overdrive and your metabolism slowsexactly the opposite of what you want if youre trying to shed a few pounds.

The Insta-Myth: The faster you get results, the better.

Reality Check: While meal plans and exercise programs touted as quick fixes on Instagram are certainly enticing, slow and steady always wins the race when it comes to healthy behavioral changes. For building results in fitness, slower is a much better way to build sustainable habits, avoid injury, and maintain your all-around health, Polacco says. Bottom line: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

The Insta-Myth: If theres no pain, theres no gain.

Reality Check: Dont get me wrong: I love to push weight, sweat my butt off, and get a hard-core workout in, says Luis Yzusqui, a personal trainer at Mikes Fitness in Jamaica Plain. But theres absolutely no reason to ever be in pain. Even as trends such as self-care and recovery gain steam in the wellness industry, there are still some misconceptions that soreness equals success (see: those intensive and overly elaborate Instagram workout videos). Instead, Yzusqui suggests learning to differentiate between the signals your body is giving you while working out, building intensity progressively and making time for proper rest and relaxation.

The Insta-Myth: There are specific dos and donts to every exercise and nutrition routine.

Reality Check: You know those green check marks and red Xs on the Gram categorizing certain foods or exercises as bad (gluten and crunches) and others as good (kale and cardio)? Forget them. The fact of the matter is that each one is simply an opinion, because all bodies are different. Theres no such thing as a perfect exercise or nutrition plan, Yzusqui explains. Ultimately, whatever resonates most with you in creating mindful habits will be most successful in creating lasting results. In other words: Take any tips at face value, not as hard-and-fast rules to live by.

LA Fitness and Esporta Fitness sent out notices this morning tomembers stating that they "are optimistic that we will be allowed to re-open our clubs this week on Thursday, August 27 at 12 noon."

Per the release, the benchmarksthat theywere originally told would determine when gyms could re-open have all been moving in the right direction. "The number of cases, percentage of positivity and COVID-like illnesses have all been on the decline, indicating an imminent reclassification of the risk level in the counties where we operate from the Substantial to the Moderate phase, which would permit us to open without approval of a special re-opening plan as long as we follow the previously established guidelines for gyms in the Moderate phase."

If the numbers confirm that Pinal County isin the Moderate phase, they are preparedto immediately re-open their San Tan Valley clubat 12 noon that day.

Here are some additional changes you can expect for now:

The expiration date on memberships will be extended to cover the amount of time the club was not available to its membersduring this closure.

If the COVID case trends unexpectedly take a negative turn between now and August 27th and theyare notallowed to re-open on that date, we will update the article withthe new re-opening and billing dates.

As the brand's first piece of equipment to guide and improve form, the Precision Mat acts as your silent at-home trainer, displaying clock-like numbers to help with body rotations, foot positioning and pelvic articulation, along with dots strategically placed throughout to convey 'thresholds' - P.volve's way of explaining their leg extensions. For both beginner and advanced fitness enthusiasts, this mat enhances the at-home experience, easily allowing for members to follow along with cues by P.volve's on-demand trainers. The versatile mat can also be used during other workouts, helping increase flexibility and maximizing range of motion.

"We are constantly looking for new ways to help you maximize results and the Precision Mat will help our members recreate that dynamic in-studio experience, at-home," said Rachel Katzman, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of P.volve. "Our method is all about training functionally, engaging consciously and connecting mindfully, and this mat gives you the tools to take the guesswork out of foot placement and ranges, so you can get the best possible workout every time."

P.volve will be rolling out two accompanying fitness programs that feature the mat on its on-demand platform (although all workouts can be done with the mat):

P.volve launched onto the scene in 2017 with its international on-demand platform that now hosts more than 315 workouts, a state-of-the-art studio located in New York City and a proprietary equipment line that garnered coverage in Forbes, WWD, Popsugar, Vogue, Health, Women's Health and The Today Show.

"Our equipment line has always been a cornerstone of our business," added Katzman. "Our product innovation team is constantly in the lab finding products that can target muscles that you didn't even know you had. And while we have launched revolutionary products before that target very specific body parts, the Precision Mat can enhance every workout and is really focused on overall form, which means you can get better results with every workout."

P.volve has had a busy first half of the year, planning two new studio launches in Chicago and Los Angeles for September and quickly expanded its on-demand offerings to include live virtual classes during the pandemic.

"We know now more than ever that people want flexibility and choice when it comes to staying healthy, and we are constantly focused on creating content and equipment that allow our members to workout when and where they want and to take charge of their overall wellness," ended Katzman.

About P.volve The P.volve methodology of functional fitness focuses on the underlying mechanics of deep muscle activation to create a strong, resilient, pain free body. P.volve launched in November 2017 and was co-founded by Rachel Katzman and Stephen Pasterino, in partnership with Camelot Venture Group, whose portfolio companies include 1-800 CONTACTS, SmileDirectClub and Quicken Loans. Available worldwide, P.volve is headquartered in New York City. For more information, please visit http://www.pvolve.com and @pvolve on Instagram.

Attention lawmakers: The battered gym industry who has been left out of stimulus measures thus far could also use a few bucks when you get around to passing a fresh round of COVID-19 fiscal relief.

Thats the rallying cry from Orangetheory Fitness co-founder and CEO David Long, who oversees some 1,000 locations worldwide.

I think we were fortunate in that most of our franchisees were able to partake in the PPP [loan] programs which helped for the short-term. That quickly ran out. We would like to see the government take a more active role, Long explained on Yahoo Finances The First Trade. Fitness and wellness is so essential for our world and the U.S. more than ever before. We have formed a fitness alliance of over 30 of the largest U.S. and global brands. You are going to see starting in September a real push to really bring that to the surface and make sure that the fitness industry is not forgotten.

With gyms ordered to be shutdown months ago by state legislators in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19, the 40,000 fitness locations in the U.S. have been hammered. Mom and pop gyms may never reopen. National chain 24-Hour Fitness went bankrupt in June. Once fast-growing boutique gyms such as Orangetheory have had to raise money to keep the business afloat and curtail growth plans. Even well-capitalized gyms like Planet Fitness has had to slow down its torrid pace of expansion and pivot more to digitally-delivered workouts.

Yet, the fitness industry in many cases run by franchisees that could be looked upon as small business owners received no direct stimulus under the CARES Act. In a July 20 note to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) CEO Joe Moore estimated the industry had lost $7 billion in sales through July 1. The IHRSA said about 25% of the industrys gyms will close by the end of the year, triggering mass layoffs.

Moore implored McConnell to pass direct financial assistance, sign off on modifications to the PPP to allow mid-sized fitness chains to participate and tax incentives for people to pursue spending on health and fitness.

No action has been taken by lawmakers, reflecting the general stalemate in passing the next round of COVID-19 stimulus.

While gyms across the country have slowly started to reopen amid restrictions being lifted, the overall mood in the industry is that it will take time for the space to recover. In fact, it may never fully recover from the pandemic as people have built out their own home gyms and opt into app-based workouts.

Says Long, We believe there will be some artifacts. We believe our members still get their best results and motivation by coming into a studio. We think that theyre going to mix that with some digital. We have even stood up our outdoor workouts at 300 locations. Our members surprisingly are actually enjoying the outdoor flavor of Orangetheory. We think its going to be a combination of all of those products that are going to meet the members wherever they are at.

Balanced Body to Host Integrated Movement Series for Fitness and Movement Professionals on October 10, 2020 - Club Industry

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Amongthe challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought upon many is the lack of access to the normal exercise routines that were once regular. The adjustment to the home gym has gone well for some, but for others the sedentary lifestyle was inevitable. Presently, however, awareness around health and wellness is at an all-time highfor many reasons.TIDL, a fitness forward brand created by TheAnthosGroup, has timed its launch perfectly to assist those looking to get back on their fitness journey.

With an expertise incannabinoidscience and CBD, TIDL combines plant-based therapy with exercise science mechanisms known to aid in recovery, such ascryotherapy. "It is not just a CBD product, and it is not a pain distraction, like many OTC products," said Dr.CohinKakar, Chief Scientific Officer of TIDL, "TIDL is in a class of its own, catering to the athlete that wants clean and long-term recovery through innovative science."

The flagship product is a topical spray, enhanced with 360-degree spray technology that is touch-free and delivers a coolingcryo-therapeutic effect without the residue. Additionally, the product is packaged with a powerful organic ingredient package that includesphytocannabinoids, like CBD, to assist athletes in recovery after strenuous exercise.
