## What is PushPress Workout Timer?

The PushPress Timer is the cleanest, easiest, most amazeballingest Timer out there.  Built with high intensity workouts in mind, this timer handles almost every workout you can think of:  AMRAP's, Count Up, Count Down, EMOM's, Tabata's and more!

Records Workout data to Apple Health app including active energy burned.

Get Motivated!
Some of the most famous names in the world of Funcational Fitness are waiting to count you down.  We've got Aja Barto, Carl Paoli, Coach Burgener, Diane Fu, Elyse Umeda, and Jamie Hagiya are ready to light the fire under your a**.  We’ve already recorded audio of some other hot commodities in the community - and we’re recording more audio all the time!   Expect frequent updates with more of the top athletes and coaches joining the mix!   

It’s So Simple
We’ve taken a fresh approach to the typical timer, and made one that’s clean, crisp and clear.  We know you probably have sweat (or blood) in your eye, and reading a clock that’s not well laid out might be a nightmare.  The PushPress Timer has a big, bold display, highly contrasting colors and very easy to understand-at-a-glance interface.  Stop wasting time trying to tell how far into a workout you are, and keep on moving that weight!

Gym Clock
Pair this app with your TV (using an Apple TV) and WHAM! You got yourself an instant massive, kick a** clock for your gym to use for workouts.  Forget that old analog beeping clock from the 1980’s - put up a big ol’ TV in your gym and run this clock off of it.  Use that TV when you’re not running a class to show YouTube videos of Klokov snatching mad weight… or use it to show Barney re-runs to the kids.  Either way, it’s a massive upgrade to your space, something your clients will appreciate.

** Even though we really really love us some functional fitness (and own a couple boxes ourselves), The PushPress Timer is not affiliated with CrossFit, Inc., The CrossFit Games, or any other property owned by CrossFit, Inc.  CrossFit is a registered trademark of CrossFit, Inc. **

### 5/5 — Great value!

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.1*

I looked for a free timer. This was it! Simple to use. Easy is the right word .

### 5/5 — 5

*2026-06-29, version 2.0.1*

Stars

### 5/5 — Awesome timer

*2026-05-28, version 2.0.1*

I love this timer , it has help me through my work out routines , love the voice selections

### 5/5 — This is Cool

*2026-04-17*

This timer is as simple as it gets, and that’s exactly the point. Setting up WOD and HIIT timers takes seconds, no learning curve, no frustration.
Fiddling with my Apple Watch to track intervals has always been a pain. Even the native countdown and timer apps on my phone don’t come close to this. PushPress Workout Timer is just easier, full stop. Voice prompts keep me in the workout instead of staring at a screen, and the Apple Watch integration makes it seamless.
Oh, and it’s free. That’s not a small thing.
Thank you PushPress.

### 5/5 — Finally found the workout timer I’ve wanted

*2026-04-03*

Great simple app that does what I want - track workout rep times and repeats without having to reset the app. Add in the ability to set your own work / rest timers and audio notifications and this is great.

### 3/5 — too basic

*2026-02-23, version 2.0.1*

ugh one one tabata pattern and only one AMRAP pattern at a time - It's easy to set up ONE pattern of intervals only only one "on" and one "off" duration- no "start delay" like 5-10 seconds or memorized patterns or variable patterns like I want a 20min session of 30 sec on and 30sec off, but also ready to go, a Tabata round of 2 minutes of 20/20 and a pyramid round ready to go of 60/45/30/25 sec on with 15 sec breaks and a pyramid round of 15/15/30/30/45/45/60/60 - none of this is possible - no instructor and certainly not me just working out on my one is going to pause every single time to reset the program - ugh

### 4/5 — More voice prompts please

*2026-01-15*

I love this app. It’s very customizable and works well with big groups. I wish there were more voice prompts and countdowns that say “go” after a rest break so athletes don’t need to watch the clock. Otherwise it’s great.

### 4/5 — Works great.

*2026-01-04*

Works really good and pairs well with other apps. Does not cut off other audio apps that are running like other timers do. 

The one wish I had would be to have a three second count down on all rounds, not just the first. This way you would not have to be looking at your phone to start every round in TABATA for example.

### 2/5 — Out of sync

*2025-12-25, version 2.0.1*

I have a brand new Ultra watch and every time I set a timer, the countdown “sticks” on the watch yet the workout starts and the phone. Defeats the purpose if it isn’t tracking my time intervals where I can see them on the watch.

### 4/5 — Great

*2025-05-30, version 2.0.1*

After trying others, this app does just what I want. A volume control would be even greater. Can be difficult to hear when playing music.
