10 Days of Giveaways: Day 5 (Gymboss)

Last giveaway of week 1! This one is a product I’ve used for a few years now: Gymboss.

10daysofgiveaways

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of HIIT training and interval-style workouts. I like to time different segments as it’s a great way to change things up and really challenge myself. (Like when I increased the HIIT time from 30-40 seconds hard the other day— it killed me in the best way possible.) I have a timer app on my phone, which is fine to use at home, but when I’m at the gym, guess where my phone is? In a locker. When I go to the gym, I have a small amount of time to get in and get out, and I like to do it without the distraction of a phone. If I have it, I’m much more tempted to check my email, see what people are saying on Twitter, aka waste time. 

Gymboss timer to the rescue:

Gymboss

It’s extremely user-friendly, and has a few sound settings. My favorite is to clip it on my shirt and set it on vibrate, so it doesn’t distract other gym-goers. I’ve also used it while teaching classes, especially since the resort is cell phone free and it looks more professional to use an actual timer. It’s one of my favorite workout tools, especially because it’s so inexpensive, and it makes a perfect stocking stuffer for a fitness-loving friend. They recently released some cool new colors, too!

Gymboss2

My friends at Gymboss kindly offered five interval timers– one each to five lucky winners. It’s a great little workout buddy ๐Ÿ˜‰

Here’s how to enter:

Ready, set, go!

    I love HIIT too, this would be great. My phone is always in the locker too!

  2. Heather on December 6, 2013 at 5:26 pm

    Nothing beats a good run!

  3. Stacey Olson on December 6, 2013 at 5:27 pm

    I totally want this!!! I also think bringing a phone in the gym is a no no.. I am a professional time waster.

  4. Lauren B on December 6, 2013 at 5:27 pm

    This would be fantastic…i’m always afraid i’ll break my phone when i use it!

  5. jess on December 6, 2013 at 5:28 pm

    just recently got in to HIIT exercises and they’re my favorite!

  6. Erin on December 6, 2013 at 5:28 pm

    I got a gymboss two years ago due to your recommendation and loved it but lost it in a move! Would love that purple one..it’s my favorite color! ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. anne hill on December 6, 2013 at 5:28 pm

    walking!

  8. Paula Powell on December 6, 2013 at 5:29 pm

    My favorite cardio is running!

  9. Krystyn on December 6, 2013 at 5:29 pm

    This would be awesome for my at-home workouts! No have the same issues with my phone so the less distractions, the better!

  10. Amber on December 6, 2013 at 5:29 pm

    Hiit! This would be so useful ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Haley @Cupcakes and Sunshine on December 6, 2013 at 5:29 pm

    I love dance cardio ๐Ÿ™‚ Anything dance related, I’m in.

  12. Angela on December 6, 2013 at 5:30 pm

    I teach classes too and this would be sooo perfect!

  13. Norma on December 6, 2013 at 5:30 pm

    OMG! Of all of the give-aways you posted this week, this is the one I could really use! I have been eyeing the Gymboss on Amazon. I am a big fan of HIIT training and use my iPhone as a timer. It kills the battery and it’s terribly distracting. Oh, and purple is my favorite color.

    PICK ME! PICK ME!! PICK ME!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  14. Kristin on December 6, 2013 at 5:30 pm

    This is the perfect workout tool!

  15. Laura on December 6, 2013 at 5:30 pm

  17. Kristen on December 6, 2013 at 5:31 pm

    I love running!

  18. melissa on December 6, 2013 at 5:32 pm

    I love riding my bicycle. Like flying! I had a gymboss but its vibration capability is no longer. I’d love a new one to replace it. ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. Ashley on December 6, 2013 at 5:32 pm

    I love circuits and HIIT one of these would be great instead of the phone app!

  20. Nichole on December 6, 2013 at 5:32 pm

    Such a great addition to the giveaway pool!

  21. megan on December 6, 2013 at 5:32 pm

    I haven’t done HIIT workouts, but would love to try.

  22. Lauren on December 6, 2013 at 5:33 pm

    Intervals and tabata. Hands down.

  23. Laura on December 6, 2013 at 5:33 pm

    This would be much easier than using the phone!

  24. Shannon on December 6, 2013 at 5:34 pm

    I would love to be able to use this while running (clipped onto my sleeve or something). My watch doesn’t do intervals and it makes me crazy to keep checking the time!!

  25. Kristen M on December 6, 2013 at 5:35 pm

    My favorite cardio is running.

  26. jen on December 6, 2013 at 5:35 pm

    A nice run on a fresh spring day!!

  30. Erin on December 6, 2013 at 5:38 pm

    I love HIIT workouts! Cardio isn’t my fave so anything that gets my heart rate up in a hurry is great.

  31. Kate on December 6, 2013 at 5:38 pm

    Running!

  32. Erika on December 6, 2013 at 5:39 pm

    I was wondering what gadget you used – this is awesome!

  33. Jenni on December 6, 2013 at 5:39 pm

    Time seems to go slow when I’m staring at my watch while doing HIIT, this would be a fabulous addition to my running routine!

  34. Melissa on December 6, 2013 at 5:40 pm

    I mostly run for cardio. That looks like a handy little tool!

  35. Kylee on December 6, 2013 at 5:40 pm

    HIIT and running are my favorite ways to get in cardio!

  36. Diane on December 6, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    This would be awesome ๐Ÿ™‚

  37. Amy on December 6, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    My current cardio fav is running – although, not today…mother f’in nature just dumped 8in. of snow outside!

  38. Melissa on December 6, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    I love going to cycle class!

  39. Tori L on December 6, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    I love playing Just Dance; who says you can’t get cardio in while having fun?!

  40. Kath on December 6, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    This would be great!! It’s so hard to workout and use the timer on the cell phone.

  41. Alex on December 6, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    Interval runs!!

  42. Emily on December 6, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    I love body combat!

  43. Aimee M on December 6, 2013 at 5:42 pm

    I was an elliptical nut until I started some of your HIIT workouts! They’re my favorite–such an awesome burn in a short period of time. This timer would be SO much better than my phone app!

  44. tiffany on December 6, 2013 at 5:42 pm

    ooh, could be very useful. trying to switch up my workouts!

  45. Heather Morton on December 6, 2013 at 5:42 pm

    This would take my at-home workouts to the next level! I have been dying to try one.

  46. JULIE on December 6, 2013 at 5:42 pm

    Love this! I have another brand and it broke straight away!

  47. Abby on December 6, 2013 at 5:42 pm

    I use the treadmill all the time (made bearable by the Food Network and frequent HIIT)!

  48. Jenn on December 6, 2013 at 5:43 pm

    Road biking! Though I have my eyes on a rower for the “cold” (I’m a wimp) Southern California winters.

  49. Amy on December 6, 2013 at 5:43 pm

    My fave cardio is easily elliptical intervals. Although maybe I’ll switch to other modes if I have this fun new toy!

  50. D on December 6, 2013 at 5:43 pm

    Love the vibrate feature!
