Hiit Me Workout is the perfect app for you to challenge your workout in a new way! With many different workout modes, this is much more then the regular HIIT interval timer you are used to. You can create as many workouts as you want, and they are of course, fully customizable! *** Apple Music and Spotify *** Focus on the workout and HMW will take care of the music, select which songs to play when active and resting and we will alternate the tracks so you get that extra push when you need it. *** Roulette *** Let's gamble! Don't go for a regular workout every time it's time to sweat, with the Roulette function, the exercises will come in an random order, and the number of reps/time is up for the spinning wheel to decide! *** Discover new exercises *** It's easy to get stuck with the same exercises. No worries, we will help you with that, you choose the muscle group you want to exercise, and we propose different exercises for you! *** Deck Of Cards *** One of the workout modes it the Card Deck. You choose 4 exercises and we will shuffle the deck and give you one card at the time. The card represents an exercise and the value is equal to number of reps to perform! Both a hard workout and surprisingly fun! *** HIIT Interval timer *** Everything is fully customizable, the app can be used as a normal HIIT timer and with its intuitive design, its very easy to use. *** Perfect for Runners *** You should not only be able to choose time or reps for an interval.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Totally Tabata Timer Protocol holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Totally Tabata Timer Protocol has 641 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Totally Tabata Timer Protocol's written reviews are positive against 90% of Hiit Me Workout with Music's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Totally Tabata Timer Protocol ships an update every 3 months, Hiit Me Workout with Music monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
