The workout timer trusted by athletes, coaches and gym-goers since 2013. Repeat is built for one thing: keeping you moving through every round, set and interval of your training. Whether you're grinding through Tabata sprints, HIIT circuits, EMOM workouts, AMRAP rounds, boxing intervals, CrossFit WODs or simple rest-work cycles - Repeat handles the timing so you can focus on the effort. –– Built for every workout style: • Tabata — 20s work / 10s rest, 8 rounds. Set it once, go. • HIIT — custom work and rest intervals with unlimited repeats • EMOM — every minute on the minute, as many rounds as you need • Circuit training — chain multiple exercises with timed stations • Boxing / MMA — round timers with rest between rounds • CrossFit — AMRAPs, intervals and timed WODs • Yoga & stretching — hold timers with gentle alerts • Running — walk/run intervals for couch-to-5K and beyond –– Dead simple to use: Set your work time, rest time, number of rounds and press Start. Name your timers to keep them organized. That's it. –– Keeps going when you put your phone down: Runs in the background with audio and notification alerts. Lock your screen, switch apps, put your phone in your pocket — Repeat will tell you when to move and when to rest. –– Audible countdown: Hear "3, 2, 1" before each phase transition so you're always ready for what's next. Configurable from 3 to 10 seconds. –– Fullscreen landscape mode: Prop your phone on the gym floor and see a giant countdown from across the room. Phase colors change so you know work from rest at a glance. Everything you need: ––––––––––––––––––––––– • Work, rest, prepare and cool down phases • Sets with rest between sets • Up to 999 repeats and 999 sets with Pro • 50+ alert sounds including voice commands • Save multiple timers and switch between them • Precise to the second • Background alerts — no need to keep the app open • Clean, minimal interface with no clutter Repeat is used daily by personal trainers, CrossFit coaches, martial arts instructors, yoga teachers and hundreds of thousands of people who just want a timer that works and gets out of the way. -------------- Subscription terms: - The subscription auto-renews at the end of each term. - Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. - The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. - Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. - You may manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings after purchase.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a training protocol alternating short periods of intense or explosive anaerobic exercise with brief recovery periods until the point of exhaustion, which thereby relies on "the anaerobic energy releasing system almost maximally." The method involves exercises performed in repeated quick bursts at maximum or near maximal effort with periods of rest or low activity between bouts. The very high level of intensity, the interval duration and number of bouts distinguish it from aerobic (cardiovascular) activity, because the body significantly recruits anaerobic energy systems (although not completely to the exclusion of aerobic pathways). Although there are varying forms of HIIT-style workouts which may involve exercises associated with both cardiovascular activity and also resistance training, HIIT's crucial features of maximal effort, duration, and short rest periods (thereby triggering the anaerobic pathways of energy production) materially differentiate it from being considered a form of cardiovascular exercise. Though there is no universal HIIT session duration, a HIIT workout typically lasts under 30 minutes in total as it uses the anaerobic energy systems which are typically used for short, sharp bursts. The times vary, based on a participant's current fitness level. Traditional HIIT initially had been designed to be no longer than 20 seconds on with no more than 10 seconds off; however, intervals of exercise effort tend to range from 20 to 45 seconds but no longer than 75 seconds, at which point the aerobic system would then kick in. HIIT workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition as well as improved glucose metabolism. Compared with longer sessions typical of other regimens, HIIT may not be as effective for treating hyperlipidemia and obesity, or improving muscle and bone mass. However, research has shown that HIIT regimens produced significant reductions in the fat mass of the whole-body in young women. Some researchers also note that HIIT requires "an extremely high level of subject motivation" and question whether the general population could safely or practically tolerate the extreme nature of the exercise regimen. TABATA REGIMEN: A version of HIIT was based on a 1996 study by Ritsumeikan University Professor Izumi Tabata (田畑泉) et al. initially involving Olympic speedskaters. The study used 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise (at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max) followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated continuously for 4 minutes (8 cycles). The exercise was performed on a mechanically braked cycle ergometer. Tabata called this the IE1 protocol. In the original study, athletes using this method trained 4 times per week, plus another day of steady-state training, for 6 weeks and obtained gains similar to a group of athletes who did steady state training (70% VO2max) 5 times per week. GIBALA EGIMEN Professor Martin Gibala and his team at McMaster University in Canada have been researching high-intensity exercise for several years. Their 2010 study on students uses 3 minutes for warming up, then 60 seconds of intense exercise (at 95% of VO2max) followed by 75 seconds of rest, repeated for 8–12 cycles. ZUNIGA REGIMEN Jorge Zuniga, assistant professor of exercise science at Creighton University, set out to determine how to fit the highest volume of work and oxygen consumption into the smallest amount of time. He found that intervals of 30 seconds at 90% of power output at VO2 max followed by 30 seconds of rest allowed for the highest VO2 consumption and the longest workout duration at specified intensity. Alternative protocols considered included 100% of maximum power output on the same interval schedule, similar to the Coe regimen, and 90% of maximum power output for three minutes, similar to traditional interval training.
