I have noticed while I'm at the gym my heart rate and the Stepper I'm using dont seem to have anywhere near the same heart rate. I have tried several steppers and same thing off about 10 beats. Blaze lower. Is there a certain way I should be wearing my Blaze inorder to get a MORE accurate heart rate? Thanks

Let's look into this, first click on the help link found below. Type heart rate into the search bar and the FAQ on heart rate pops up. Here you'll find the info on accuracy.
This info may also be found under the help on the app.
WHAT IMPACTS THE ACCURACY OF MY HEART RATE READING?
As with all heart-rate tracking technology, whether a chest strap or a wrist-based sensor, accuracy is affected by personal physiology, location of wear, and type of movement.
For all-day wear when you’re not exercising, your tracker should usually rest a finger’s width below your wrist bone and lay flat, just as you would wear a watch. Fitbit’s PurePulse™ heart rate tracking system is designed to be most accurate when the tracker is worn on the top of your wrist.
For improved heart rate accuracy keep these tips in mind:
Note that if you remove your tracker but it keeps moving, for example if you put it in a pocket or backpack, the tracker may display an erroneous heart rate reading. To prevent this by turning off heart rate tracking when the tracker is not in use, log into your dashboard and go to Settings > Devices to turn your Heart Rate Tracking to "Off."
