Building Custom Interval Timers
Standard timers like EMOMs and Tabatas are great, but sometimes your programming demands more. What if you need exactly 3 rounds of 90 seconds work and 45 seconds rest?

Custom interval timers are essential for sport-specific training. MMA fighters might need 5-minute rounds with 1-minute rests. Rowers might need varied work-to-rest ratios to simulate race conditions.
- Complex Intervals: Mixing long aerobic bursts with short anaerobic sprints.
- Skill Work: Setting up long 15-minute periods with short check-in intervals to force you to reset your form.
Why Most Timers Fail
Most gym timers are rigid. If you want a 3-minute work period followed by a 2-minute rest, you have to constantly reset a basic countdown timer manually. This breaks your focus.
A true custom timer handles all the logic upfront. You program it once, hit start, and let the buzzer dictate your rest.
