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.
This is a great app for a wide variety of sessions, either for a personal session or as a trainer
Update!!!! Is there anyway we can get a Gatmin integration??? My apple watch isn't holding a charge for long anymore. If I coach more than 3 classes with short repetitive intervals all hour long my watch battery is dead near the end of the last class. Would love to use my Garmin since battery life is DAYS long.
Original post:: I'm an OTF coach and this app makes my job so much easier. Don't have to fiddle with a stopwatch. Don't even have to look at my timer because intervals will vibrate on my apple watch. Love how you can customize every interval witb a specific title and color. If using for personal use the iphone app will also verbally call out cues for you.
It gives me a countdown, so I am prepared for my next exercise!
I exercise more consistently because I have made workouts that work for me. Easy to create and edit. I have several different workouts for running, intervals, abs, warm ups, weights. No where else could I have all of that in one place.
Love this for my group workouts
Seconds pro and the intervaltimer.com web interface allows our swim team to run four workout timers simultaneously on a single display. Seconds pro is very intuitive and easy to use. Love this product.
Perfect for beginner marathon training and timing your breaks
I teach several different circuit and interval classes so this app is a lifesaver!
Iv been using this app for years. The diversity of the app gives you the ability to make any workout possible.
Also being able to add your own music to it without having other apps open it’s a bonus.
If you haven’t got this app your using the wrong one
Really enjoying this app.
Like that I can keep all my workouts in one spot and come back to them for a one time payment!
Keeps me active and wanting to stay active.
Highly recommend!!
No messing just the task
I keep discovering new ways to use this app for workouts. This is the consistent app I have used in every work out.
