Interval Timer: Allow us to enter work/rest times
The new Interval Timer is awesome! I would like more control over setting the times - specifically, I need it to allow for 60/20, 45/15 and 40/20 work to rest intervals. I don't use Tabatas often, but I'm sure many would appreciate and option for 20/10 as well.

Hi all,
In the v5 and v6 apps, you are able to create interval workouts with these various rest periods now, so we’re marking this one as completed and returning your vote to you.

I would LOVE to see this happen on Trainerize. Why can't circuits be 9 or 12 minutes? Please give us as the trainers the freedom to build our circuits the way we want to.

When doing high intensity program design, it would be ideal to enter work or rest times that are not multi[ples of 5/10, etc. Example: How about 6 seconds of max effort followed by 54 seconds of rest.

Yes! I increase the intervals as we progress through the program. Jumping from 60s to 90s is a bit too much.

Having interval timings above 3 minutes or customisable would allow for the more effective construction of cardiovascular workouts

Please allow us to make times that are longer than 5 minutes. Why is that a limit?

Hi everyone,
We've added the 20 and 10s option to the interval timer. Is there any additional enhancements you want?

Weird that the timer does not have Interval setting options which have a stop and start sound.
Right now it's very basic. My clients have to switch to another app to use a interval timer. Not cool!! -

Strongly agreed with this. Right now, forcing clients to choose from a limited number of rest (and workout) intervals is restrictive and limiting.
For ex: I know a few rock climbing trainers who are using Trainerize for training but the app doesn't allow for good tracking for Hangboarding: for ex: 7sec on/3 sec off.

There's now an interval program option which is great, but you can only select from the times listed for the working and rest intervals (30 sec, 60 sec, 1 min, etc). Sometimes clients need times that are not listed, i.e. 20 seconds. If we could customize the times that would be helpful and allow us to carefully progress them over time as well.

Adding the 20/10 (Work/Rest) to the intervals timer.

This is a great feature. I tried a workout and like the potential.
One thing I'd like to request. Instead of having to press the play button every time, can the video start at the beginning of every interval?
Thank you Trainerize for listening to our feedback.

Yeah. Just having a text field for seconds instead of pre selected times would be good.
I'd also like to be able to input weight and reps for the set while doing the workout.
