Seconds is an extremely popular, and highly versatile interval timer app for High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Tabata and circuit training workouts.
Download Seconds for free on iOS or Android and try all it's features. A one time in-app purchase for the Seconds Pro upgrade will allow you to save your timers rather than recreating them each time.
Seconds comes with templates for common interval programming allowing to build advanced timers in a matter of moments.
If the templates do not fit your needs you can use the custom timer to build your timer one interval at a time. You can even combine and loop through many timers using the compound timer.
Often when working out you just want to keep your phone in your pocket and get on with it. But if you are doing a circuit involving many intervals how do you remember what's next?
Seconds will speak your interval names, so this is never a problem. There is even an option to let you know what the next interval is so you have time to prepare before it starts.
If you are looking for a mediation or yoga timer text-to-speech or high pitch beeps may not be appropriate. For situations like these Seconds comes with more soothing alerts such as bells and gongs, or you may wish to have no alert sounds at all, or just a vibration. All these options are available.
Seconds provides plenty of options for how you listen to your music while you workout. A few options include:
Of course, if none of those suit you, you can simply listen to your favourite music player in the background and Seconds will play it's alerts over the top.
Importing and exporting timers from Seconds Pro could not be simpler. Just select the timers you wish to share and hit Export. Timers can be sent via email or AirDrop (on iOS devices).
Timers can even be shared with friends that don't have the app via the web sharing function. Once shared, an online timer will be created for anyone to use on any device.
Seconds Interval Timer will continue to alert you of interval changes whether in the background or the foreground.
Colored intervals are great when you just need a visual clue to see which interval you are on and what is coming up next. Seconds displays the the whole screen in the current intervals color, apart from the next interval which uses it's own color.
Seconds has 10 colors to choose from with an advanced option to customize the colors if you wish.
Seconds utilises all the available width for the main timer display so it's easy to read at a glance. By default it displays the interval time remaining, but can be configured to show total time remaining, or elapsed times.
I’ve been using this app off and on for years and it’s been very easy and useful to tailor my various workouts.
I use a custom timer for stretching and it’s perfect. It tells me what is coming up next, (hamstring, back) it lets me put time in between so I can get ready for the next stretch. Love it!
Fantastic program and great support. Have on both iPhone & iPad, share routines via export/import. Highly recommended.
This does exactly what I need. Simple interface, and easy to use.
Have used this for years for a variety of workouts and trainings! Easy to use and customizable! Highly recommend!
Excellent app for timing high intensity exercises and rest breaks in between sets. It’s also great for timing stretches you need to hold for 30sec, something I’ve always been terrible at without an aid.
The free version offers 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 timers. And the timer alerts plays gently over your music if you’re, say, listening to Spotify.
Highly recommended.
Awesome App and easy to navigate. Set it up on your tripod and form a custom circuit workout or transfer a workout from your favourite video to a timer on the app. This app has improved my workouts. It allows you to listen to your own music and gives the option of tones to signal switch-ups. Consider it your own coach..if you have the will power to motivate yourself.
As a fitness bootcamp instructor and personal trainer this app can do it all. I can setup a stations and let campers start on their own, or use as a class, and I can send set pre-programmed times to my PT clients for their individual out of session workouts. Worked with my music playlists.
On a personal level, this app helped improve my running.
This app is hands down one of the best tools for staying focused at the gym! It keeps me on track and helps me execute my workouts efficiently. One of my favorite features is the ability to add music to each rep..getting little snippets of my favorite songs while working out keeps me motivated without distractions. If you’re serious about maximizing your gym sessions, I highly recommend this app!
Takes a little time to set up a routine but once it’s in it’s great!
I absolutely love this app! Have been using for years as a Kettlebell and Yoga instructor. Now I’m using it with my husband for workouts and stretching exercises. Can’t say enough about it in terms of simplicity, ease of use and it gets the job done without much fanfare. Perfect!
Read some reviews and downloaded, really easy to work around and great for my training, love it
