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.
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:
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!
My friends at Gymboss kindly offered five interval timers– one each to five lucky winners. It’s a great little workout buddy ๐
Here’s how to enter:
This one has a quick turnaround as it ends tomorrow night at midnight! The lucky winners will be announced in my Sunday am post.
Ready, set, go!

I love hiit sand would love to have a great timer for it.

Interval training using gymboss timer on my iPad… This would be easier to carry to the gym!
Running!
HIIT on the treadmill or stairmill!
Running is my #1 (and only) cardio love!
I absolutely love to run! Have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, so it doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, but when I can get out there I make it count!
running!
I’ve been loving your interval workouts – tough workouts while maximizing time. One of this timers would be so helpful!
HIIT cardio is my fave! This timer will be perfect to use just for that!
I’d be so lost without my Gymboss timer!
Cool, could use one of those. I have no clue how I’m doing some times!
Bodyrocks!!!!! They are my favorite!!!
would love to try this for my tabata intervals!
I love jumping rope this would be perfect
My favorite way to do cardio is definitely tabatas – short and sweet!
HITT training ๐
Definitely running!
Tabatas!
favourite mode of cardio right now – swimming!
Dance is by far my fav cardio because it doesn’t feel like a workout. Spin is a close second, though! And HIIT, when I’m in a hurry.
we’re twins ๐
Just recently found your blog and am excited to read through it.
Favorite cardio – running half marathons!
HIIT or running is my favorite mode of cardio!
While I love a good HIIT or tabata work out, running is and always will be my fave form of cardio (and therapy!)
Wow! This would be perfect! During my interval workout this morning, I had to toggleback between a the workout, songza and a timer app all on my phone!
My favorite cardio is a hike in the mountains in Arizona!! We just moved back to Wisconsin after 4 years in Phoenix and “hiking” here is not the same!! I miss it so much!
i just tried tabata intervals for the first time at a class. this timer would make doing it on my own so much easier!
Defnitly use it for hiit intervals and tabata almost everyday!
Id use it for tabata training and intervals on the treadmill – thanks!
HITT, Spin, and running outside!
Running for sure but I’ve been wanting a gymboss for a long time. I need more Tabata in my life!
I’m a runner! Indoors for the winter where I am. It’s like minus 30.
I always wanted a Gymboss so I could do quick workouts!!! I love the purple one!
I’m a runner so of course that’s my favorite form of cardio but I love to switch it up once in a while so this timer would be great for that!
Love Crossfit type WOD’s…we have a group of ladies from my neighborhood that meet 3x a week to do crossfit workouts…..so hard, but so fun!
I love Hiit and a bit of body combat/pump to mix it up.
All forms of dance are my favorite cardio. right now i’m loving pole
If we’re talking straight cardio it’s HIIT and Tabata. Otherwise, my favorite heart pumping workouts are Insanity & Crossfit-style sessions that incorporate intervals of cardio and weights!
Running outside!
Running! Any type – steady state, sprints, hills.
