An AMRAP timer that keeps the finish in sight

AMRAP means as many rounds or reps as possible within a fixed time. Set the training window in GRIT, start the countdown and focus on the work until the timer ends.

How to set an AMRAP in GRIT

  1. Choose AMRAP on the home screen.
  2. Set the duration for your session, such as 10 or 12 minutes.
  3. Add the workout description if you want to keep the movement order with the timer.
  4. Check your count-in, then start the clock.
  5. At the end, save the rounds, reps and notes you want to remember in History.

Example: a 12-minute training window

Set AMRAP to 12:00. Your workout prescription defines which movements make one round. Complete those movements in order and return to the start of the sequence while time remains. The clock determines when the session ends; your score records the work completed.

GRIT manages the time. It does not automatically count your repetitions.

AMRAP or For Time?

In an AMRAP, the time is fixed and the amount of work varies. In a For Time workout, the task is fixed and the completion time varies. If the instruction says “every minute”, use an EMOM timer instead.

Use it as part of a longer session

Add an AMRAP block to Build a WOD when your session also needs warm-up intervals or a rest period. Check the block duration before you run the complete workout. Turn your device sideways for a larger clock, or follow the gym display guide when coaching a group.

How to record a partial round

For a scoring example, imagine your programme has 5 repetitions of movement A, 10 of B and 15 of C: 30 repetitions per round. If the 12-minute clock ends after four full rounds, then 5 of A and 7 of B, the result is 4 rounds plus 12 reps. You have completed 132 reps in total.

Use the same movement order and counting convention when you repeat the workout. Note any changes to the prescription alongside the result. This example explains scoring; your programme supplies the actual movements and loads.

Questions before you start

Does AMRAP count up or down?

The AMRAP timer counts down the duration you set. The remaining time tells you how long is left in the training window.

Can I use a different duration?

Yes. Set the time to suit your workout rather than using only a preset duration.

Does GRIT require an account?

No account or subscription is needed for the core timers.
