23 timers, grouped by what they are built for. They all run on the same work, rest and rounds engine — only the defaults and the vocabulary change.

Which Workout Timer Should You Use?

Every format below controls the same three things — how long you work, how long you rest and how many times you repeat it. What changes is which of the three is fixed in advance.

Three Ways to Pick Your Timer

1

By training format

You already know the protocol — Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP, circuits. Open that timer and the numbers are loaded.

2

By sport

You train rounds rather than sets. Pick your discipline and the round and rest lengths match how that sport is actually timed.

3

By what you control

None of the above fits. Set work, rest, rounds and sets yourself on the custom workout timer.

How the Timers Fit Together

The general timers describe when you train rather than how. A training timer frames a whole session, an exercise timer frames a single movement, a gym timer frames the rest between sets, and a fitness timer frames cardio and class-style conditioning. Pick by the scale you are timing.

The method timers describe a named protocol. An interval timer leaves everything open; a HIIT timer biases work over rest; a Tabata timer locks 20/10 for eight rounds; an EMOM timer fixes the clock and lets your speed decide the rest; an AMRAP timer fixes the window and counts nothing but rounds. Use them when the protocol is the point.

The sports timers describe rounds. A combat sports timer covers any fight discipline, with boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ and the rest set to their own round lengths, while a sports timer handles drills and practice blocks for everything else.

Choosing a Timer: FAQ

If you are unsure which work and rest values to use once you have picked a timer, start with our guide to work-to-rest ratios.

Which timer should I use if I am not sure?

Start with the custom workout timer on the home page. Every other timer on this site is that same timer with its values pre-set, so anything you can do on a named format you can also do there by hand.

Which timer is best for a gym session?

Use the Gym Timer if you are lifting and what you want to control is the recovery between sets. Use the Circuit Timer instead when you move between stations without a real break.

Which timer is best for combat sports?

Pick your discipline directly: boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, BJJ, judo, karate or taekwondo. If you cross-train, the Combat Sports Timer covers all of them.

Which timer should I use for HIIT?

The HIIT Timer for an open high-intensity session, or the Tabata Timer when you specifically want the 20-second work and 10-second rest protocol over eight rounds.

Do I need a different timer for every workout?

No. One timer covers everything if you are happy setting the numbers yourself. The named pages exist so you do not have to look up the protocol — opening the EMOM or Tabata page is faster than remembering what those formats require.

Which timer is best for running intervals?

The Interval Timer, because run and walk blocks rarely match a named protocol. Set your effort duration as the work interval and your recovery jog or walk as the rest interval.
