Unleash your full potential with Tabata Coach, the ultimate High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) timer designed for simplicity, power, and flexibility. Whether you're at home, in the gym, or on the go, our intuitive interface helps you build, track, and crush your fitness goals. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app runs Tabata Classic — 8 rounds of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest — without your phone. Haptic cues mark every interval change, live heart rate shows on screen, and the timer keeps running with your wrist down. Your session saves straight to Apple Health. EXERCISE LIBRARY — BUILT BY A PHYSIOTHERAPIST Pick from 74 exercises across Push, Pull, Legs, Core, Cardio and Full Body — each with a short technique cue so you train with good form, not just a timer. Created by a licensed physiotherapist. TRAINING FOR HYROX All 8 official HYROX stations are in the library — SkiErg, sled push and pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls — plus 6 supporting movements. The technique cues focus hardest on the four stations where injuries actually happen. A ready-made HYROX Intervals template is in Quick Start. QUICK START & SURPRISE ME No plan? No problem. Choose a ready-made workout like Tabata Classic, Core Crusher or Leg Day — freshly generated from the library every time. Or let Surprise Me (Pro) build a random workout matched to your focus, time and level. CREATE YOUR PERFECT WORKOUT Move beyond generic timers.

Start one from your wrist with your phone in another room. - Technique cues from the exercise library show on the watch during the warm-up and every rest, for the exercise that is coming next. - Turn the Digital Crown to browse the intervals mid-session and jump to any one of them. - Choose the activity type before you start, so the session lands in Health as what it actually was. - When a workout ends you now choose: save it to Health, or discard it. CALORIES YOU CAN TRUST - Active energy was counted twice on iPhone whenever sensors were measuring. A workout now shows what was actually measured, not a measurement with an estimate added on top. - The app and the Health app show the same number for the same workout. - Estimates use your weight from Health instead of a fixed value. - Walking and running distance is now saved with your workout. ### 8.1 — 2026-08-27 SHARPER TIMING The interval engine has been rebuilt from the ground up. Every work and rest phase is now exact to the fraction of a second, and if you switch apps mid-workout the timer picks up precisely where it should — no drift, ever. FIXES - Fixed a layout issue where the timer controls could sit hidden behind the tab bar on some screens - The timer ring now adapts to smaller screens so every control stays visible - Under-the-hood maintenance for ads configuration and diagnostics ### 8.0 — 2026-08-18 NEW: TABATA COACH ON APPLE WATCH - Run Tabata Classic (8 x 20/10) straight from your wrist. No phone needed. - Haptic cues at every interval change, so you can train with your wrist down and your eyes anywhere. - Live heart rate from the watch sensor. - The timer keeps running with the screen off. - Your watch workout saves to Apple Health with accurate active time — the warm-up countdown is not counted as training. 14 NEW EXERCISES FOR HYROX - All 8 official stations: SkiErg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jump, Rowing, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges and Wall Balls. - 6 training movements: Walking Lunges, Squat to Overhead Reach, Shuttle Runs, Kettlebell Swings, Goblet Squats and Bear Hug Carry. - Every one with a technique cue written by a physiotherapist — the four highest-risk movements in most detail. - New Quick Start template: HYROX Intervals. - 74 exercises in the library in total. BETTER APPLE HEALTH - Workouts now use a live workout session on iPhone (iOS 26). Pausing no longer counts as active time, and calories are more accurate. - Stopping during the countdown saves nothing — no more empty sessions in Health. FIXES - Heart rate belts keep sending data when the screen is locked. - The banner no longer overlaps content at the bottom of the screen. ### 4.0 — 2026-07-14 NEW: Exercise Library & Quick Start! - Exercise library with 60 bodyweight exercises, each with technique cues written by a physiotherapist - Build workouts by picking exercises from the library — no more typing - Quick Start: ready-made workouts like Tabata Classic, Core Crusher and Leg Day, freshly generated every time - Surprise Me (Pro): a random workout matched to your focus, available time and level - Create your own custom exercises (Pro) - Workouts and heart rate now keep running when you switch tabs - The screen stays awake during your workout - Swipe left on a workout to edit or delete it - Accurate workout history: aborted sessions now log actual time and rounds ### 3.0 — 2026-06-13 WHAT'S NEW - Connect more heart rate sensors (Pro): Garmin, Suunto, Wahoo and any standard Bluetooth heart rate sensor - in addition to Polar - New Heart Rate Sensors page in Settings with unified scanning, live heart rate and training zones - Theme selection (System / Light / Dark) now applies instantly - Workout reminders can now be turned off and rescheduled correctly - Bug fixes and performance improvements ## More apps by Ronny Eliassen - [Cadence Coach](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cadence-coach/id6748521025) All apps by Ronny Eliassen: https://appshunter.io/developer/1826049959 ## Related topics [ronny eliassen](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ronny-eliassen) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
