Start every round with a clear EMOM timer

Set up a repeating interval

1. Choose EMOM on the home screen.
2. Set a 60-second interval for a standard EMOM.
3. Choose the number of rounds.
4. Add the prescription and check the count-in and audio settings.
5. Start the timer and begin each round at the interval boundary.

Example: ten rounds, one minute each

Set the interval to 1:00 and the rounds to 10. The repeating intervals total 10 minutes, excluding your count-in. If your prescribed work takes 35 seconds in a round, you have 25 seconds before the next interval starts.

The timer does not decide how many repetitions you should perform. Use the prescription from your programme or coach.

What about every two minutes?

Set a two-minute interval when your workout calls for a fresh start every two minutes. Five rounds of two minutes also total ten minutes, but give each effort and recovery period more space.

For a fixed work period followed by a fixed rest period, use Intervals. An EMOM marks the interval boundary; it does not automatically know when you finish your repetitions.

Make the clock useful to the whole class

Use landscape on iPhone or iPad and test the sound level before training. A connected AirPlay screen shows a synchronised, read-only timer while the device remains the controller. The gym timer guide covers a practical pre-class check.

Example: alternate two stations over ten minutes

For a programme alternating stations A and B, use a 1:00 interval and 10 rounds. Start A at 0:00, B at 1:00, A again at 2:00 and continue alternating. Each station gets five starts; the final interval begins at 9:00 and ends at 10:00.

Add the station order to your workout description. The interval boundary is the cue to start the next prescribed task; the clock does not detect completed repetitions or decide which station you are on.
