Plan your workout time, press start, and find your rhythm! GYM Clock is a clear, easy-to-read interval timer for workouts and rest breaks. Use it for HIIT, fitness, boxing, home workouts, and more. PLAN YOUR WORKOUT TIME Choose a ready-made WORK/REST interval: 30/30, 60/30, 45/30, or 45/15 seconds. Start training with a single tap. SET YOUR TIME AND GET READY! An orange 3-2-1 countdown gives you time to prepare before training starts. Preparation does not reduce your WORK time. YOUR FIRST SET HAS STARTED! Stay focused with the green WORK timer. When it reaches zero, the app automatically switches to the red REST timer. The cycle continues until you stop it. TRACK YOUR SET COUNT See your current set number as you train. Pause, resume, or move to the next phase whenever you need. RESTART YOUR SET ANYTIME Tap RESET to restart WORK in the current set after the orange 3-2-1 countdown. Your set number stays the same—even if you reset during REST. SET YOUR OWN WORKOUT TIME Create a custom loop by choosing your own WORK and REST durations, tailored to your training rhythm. REST Follow the red rest timer and get ready for your next work interval. Use optional sound and vibration feedback to suit your preferences.
