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.
There are plenty of apps for helping people make programs, but few for people who (1) already know what they’re doing and (2) only need a a net app for tracking. For the latter, this app is for you, and it’s very good at it.
The generously sized controls and clear UI are great for using in a gym. Exporting workout data, backup, and importing programs via copy/paste from a text file is brilliant.
There’s a surprisingly deep feature set. I’ve tried other apps but always come back to Heavyset.
The app is great, I love the way you can create your own workouts… however, it says you can share your workout, but when I try to do so, it comes up with a connection is not private notice and will not let me proceed. Would be 5 stars if you could share easily your created workouts. Update - 2 days later after logging the problem, it is fixed. Thank you very much for your quick work and great app.
Best app for training intervals in the gym
Had this for several years, nothing better in the store and more importantly, no subscription model.
This app has you covered if you are looking for an economical and effective tool to track your workout progress. Ditch monthly costs.
Best Tabata out there
Love it
I teach Yoga Sculpt and need intervals to keep track. Love the interface and the capabilities of Seconds
I use this to make HIIT workouts, which interval training, and I’ve used it to even create rotations as a PE teacher. It includes all kinds of functions for timers, color coding schemes, taking features and it syncs with your music apps! Best timer app I’ve used.
Seconds pro is my main app that I use to adapt and create stretching and physiotherapy routines. The flexibility of the program allows me to create custom routines for my morning and evening stretching/physio sessions.
I know the SDK update is most likely just to meet Apple’s new requirement, but I’m glad to see it. Means this great app is still getting a bit of attention. I’m hopeful there could be more updates on the way to take advantage of new features in iOS.
Love this app! Please make routines shareable/profiles public!
