Amazfit is shaking things up for the hybrid athlete community with the launch of the Helio Strap Pro, a training system designed to go way beyond basic heart rate tracking. Specifically built for those tackling HYROX races or intense functional fitness, this isn’t just another wearable; it’s a full-on movement intelligence system. By capturing data from across your body, it helps you understand how your strength, stability, and efficiency actually hold up as you start to hit that “wall” during a workout.
The secret sauce lies in its multi-sensor system, which includes two dedicated devices working in tandem. First, you have the Helio Core Motion HR worn on your upper arm; because it’s closer to the heart and away from the wrist, it provides much more stable heart-rate readings during high-intensity movements like rowing or heavy gripping. This is joined by the Helio Core Motion Waist sensor, which clips to your midsection to track core-body positioning and movement quality. Together, they reveal a complete picture of how fatigue develops and how your body performs under stress.
For the HYROX enthusiasts, the integration is a total game-changer. The Helio Strap Pro is designed to track the eight official HYROX movements, including the sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, and wall balls. At launch, the system pairs with the Amazfit Balance 3 or Balance Ultra to bring all that data together in the Zepp App, allowing you to review your execution at every single station. Plus, because it can be worn without a screen, you can keep the data flowing even if you prefer to take your watch off during certain parts of your training.
Everything is powered by the Zepp App, which uses HybridCharge energy intelligence to help you balance your training load with recovery and daily life. Perhaps the most consumer-friendly feature is that there is no monthly subscription required to access your insights. The battery life is also built for the long haul, with the arm sensor lasting up to 11 days and the waist sensor going for a massive 40 days on a single charge. It even plays well with others, allowing you to share real-time heart rate data with third-party apps and cycling computers.
Ready to bring some pro-level intelligence to your next race? The Helio Strap Pro is available now for $199.99. The box comes fully loaded with everything you need to get started, including both sensors, the Helio Pro Clip, and both wrist and armbands. You can find it at Amazfit.com and select retailers, making it the perfect upgrade for anyone looking to master the rhythm of endurance and strength.
