Gymboss Interval Timer and Stopwatch and Watchstrap - Bundle

I've been attending physical therapy for an Achilles tendon problem. When busy at PT, it can be confusing to figure out when the assistant starts my stretching/exercise timer and who's beep is who's when the timers expire! I've searched and searched for something that would help with timed exercises but doesn't produce a lot of noise ... and finally I found the perfect fit, the GymBoss Interval Timer! With an audible alarm and/or in vibrate mode, I can set up repeating intervals with a short "rest" period in between. The optional watchband keeps us joined at the wrist so no worries about setting it down and losing it. Great for home or PT use, this exactly what I was looking for. Kudos also for the easy opening package.

I purchased this timer to replace a finger timer I had. I liked the finger one better but it constantly stopped working. And had no way to replace the battery wo sending back & paying for seller to do it. I like the big readouts on this one. Took me some practice to figure out how to set it. But for the simple timing I need it is working fairly well. The start button is a little hard to press being indented a bit & on left side. I use the timer for Nosework dog trials. It was recommended by several people. Other timers that were recommended were a LOT more expensive. Have only used once at a trial so far. It worked well & I was able to quickly reset to a new timer when I had breaks between searches. What I don’t like about it is there does not seem to be a way to stop a current timing event & have it reset for times I don’t use all the time. If I have to go from one search to another, & did not use the entire time, I have to wait for the current event to expire. Then I can restart for the next search or set a new time duration. You can set two events but the second one will start once the first one ends. I need to be able to control the stopping & starting of each event. Most of our searches have breaks between so it’s not as much of a hassle for now.

I have used Gymboss for years, love love them, as my boot camp instructor gave us all one to use. They last a long time I wanted to get a newer Gymboss and came across the Gymboss with wrist band and clip (both removable). So easy to customize and use. Gymboss is a must to any workout without spending a fortune. The Gymboss keeps you accountable for doing all your reps.... aka no cheating yourself. They also make great gifts for people in your life that you want them to get healthy. Update: I used the watchband with the Gymboss to teach a senior exercise class today it was perfect!!!! It allowed me to set the reps and rest period with a vibrate (instead of a beep) in between each one. The vibrate allows you to move from one thing to another without disruption of a loud beep. Thank you Gymboss for a great design!!

Great little timer, works as suppose to. It's easy to reset, program and use. Light weight clips to clothes, forget it's there until it goes off.

The timer works as intended. I set my intervals, number of intervals, alert method(s), and alert length. Unfortunately, once it snaps into that wristband, you are never getting it out of there without breaking the wristband. Once the battery dies on this one, I'm going to have to get a new wristband I guess.

Its a nice timer, if you don't need the pause function. suitable for exercise.

My wife is huge into Jeff Galloway run/walk. She turned me onto it after I kept injuring myself during runs. Once I'm out running I almost don't consciously think about the beeps anymore, it's like my body knows what to do when it hears them. It allows me to zone out and think of all those other things you think about when running like, "Why am I even doing this?", "Ooo, what do I want to have for lunch when I get back?", "I can't wait to watch Netflix when I get home." I wear wireless earbuds when I run, and I do have trouble hearing/feeling the beeps sometimes. I used to attach it to my collar, just beneath my ear, but with the up/down of running I sometimes wouldn't be able to feel it properly. Recently I've been attaching it to the outside of my running hat, and putting it right behind my ear. That is working well. I can feel the vibrations very well against my head, and the beeps are loud enough to cut through the heaviest of metal I might be playing. I got the bundle to include the watchstrap. I'm going to give that a try on a future run to see if it's as effective as my hat. The only reason I don't like attaching it to my hat, is that I occasionally have to shake the sweat out of my hat... and the last time I did that I forgot about the timer, slamming it to the ground and into 100 pieces. Yeah, let's not do that again. I hope the watchstrap helps with that.

I'm relatively new to "Jeffing" or using Jeff Galloway's method or run/walk/run interval running. Before getting the Gymboss, I was relying on my own counting method/comparison with my Garmin watch, which worked but wasn't ideal. Several runners recommended this device, so I decided to give it a try. Game Changer!! It's really easy to set up and change the intervals to suit whatever kind of run you're planning to do. I have mine set to vibrate, so it's really easy to follow when to run and when to walk. Without having to think about how many steps or constantly having to check my watch, I can now concentrate on my form, cadence and breathing to help me improve my overall performance. Recommend it very highly!

Soy entrenador y su uso es continuó y constantemente para llevar el control de las series y las recuperaciones.

ジムで使用するのに探していましたが、納品も早く、期待通りのモノでした。 説明書は有りますが解りずらいのですが、色々と試して結果的には上手く行きました。 説明の動画はyoutubeに有りましたが日本語の解説は有りませんでした。 結果的には上手く設定できましたので満足しています

インターバルタイマー本体はは使いやすくとても役立っています。クリップがしっかりしているので、バンドルは必要ありませんでした。

思ったよりも軽くて良かった。
