About Move Your MET
Suitable for individuals looking to understand and improve their current level of fitness, the Move Your MET app is brought to you by Irish Life Health, in partnership with Dublin City University (DCU).
This free app is used by participants in the Workplace Fitness Challenge and can also be used by individuals of any fitness level.
The app allows users to calculate their cardiovascular fitness level based on the internationally recognised standard of Metabolic Equivalent of Task, ‘MET’.
Just follow the simple instructions to test your fitness with a 1 mile walk or 1.5 mile run completed at your fastest pace. The app shows you how to measure your heart rate and calculates your individual MET score using your basic profile information.
The app provides personalised feedback on your fitness level in comparison to the general population of your age and gender. Users are challenged to improve their MET score and to meet or exceed a MET score of 10, the minimum level recommended for individuals over the age of 18.
What is a MET? A MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a simple yet effective means of expressing your fitness level. The higher your MET score, the fitter you are.
For individuals over the age of 18, it is recommended that you have a MET score of at least 10.
What is the Workplace Fitness Challenge?

The goal of the challenge is to provide a programme that supports Ireland’s workforce to become fitter and healthier by increasing levels of physical activity in the workplace.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Tried to do test, app kept crashing. Did my run anyway, would be good to be able to manually input time it takes to run 1.5 mile.

I have 17 miles ran since Monday and not a mile recorded. It's useless. I thought it was just me but it's not. Is there any chance data could be shared from my garmin.

Useless. Doesn't even remotely accurately track the distance. Back do the app development team. Rubbish.

App developer should be embarrassed by this piece of rubbish. Apart from the crashes and poor UI design, it can't even do a simple bmi calculation - says mine is 42, actually it's 28.

App crashes unless screen rotation is disabled. Happened to almost all of the 30 people in our work group. Fairly basic problem that I would expect to have been found in testing.

Terrible app that has not been tested adequately. Requires too much user interaction in order to take part in an inane competition from which an insurance company will benefit from by gathering user data for free. Utter nonsense

Rubbish app. Ended up doing it 3 times and lost it mid way through every time. Absolutely shattered now.

It is a good app but it could be better. It would be handy to be able to manually input times instead of just a stopwatch. Also in the results, it would be nice to be told what time you need to achieve to get the next grade; knowing that 13.8 is excellent is all well and good but knowing that it needs a time of X minutes would be handier

Very disappointed app looks great but crashes after about 3 minutes. It thinks I have completed the mile in that time. Fix the glitches and I'm sure this will be a nice app.

Yesterday I mapped a mile so I knew when to start measuring this morning. App told me I haven’t walked a mile yet, even though I walked over a mile. When I tried to measure my pulse, app counter didn’t work at all. It kept freezing. I had to use my phone’s timer to measure 15 seconds. When I finally got my result and put it in the app, it crashed and lost all my data. Now when I try to check my results, app keeps quitting. Quite annoying.

I keep my phone in my pocket and have to keep checking when I reach end of test as there is no notifications to tell you. This would be a huge benefit. Also, not so sure the mile is accurate, seems more like a kilometre to me. Great potential though

This app said my score was 15.1 which puts me in the 99 percentile of my group. Somehow I don't think I'm athlete quality! I did the 1.5 miles in just under 10 mins but I'm hardly an athlete....?
