Once all sets are complete, Gym Timer will notify you that your gym session is finished. Features • Customizable Timers: Adjust the duration of the Prepare, Start, and Rest timers to fit your gym routine. • Set Counter: Keep track of the number of sets you've completed and how many are left. • Audio Alerts: Audible cues signal the transition between each timer, so you don't have to keep an eye on the screen. • User-Friendly Interface: The app's clean and intuitive design makes it easy to navigate, even when you're in the middle of a fitness session.
