Lightbulb Target Heart Rate

What is the proper way to determine your target heart rate? The fitness experts at my gym told me what mine should be...but how do you figure it out? I was looking it up online and could only find this....

At the gym the people told me I should be between 126-165...that's the range where I burn the most fat...

This site here tells me 117-156...

I guess they are pretty close..but isn't there something more accurate?
