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 😉
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 to run! 🙂
I love my runs on the treadmill. it’s -40 C where I live, so outside runs are out… 🙁
Running. Its kind of a problem sometimes 🙂
I was just looking at these on amazon! I would love to have this…I currently do cardio on the treadmill and elliptical but this would be great for doing intervals on them. Much easier than the phone apps 🙂
I am addicted to kickboxing!!!
Running intervals and running stadium stairs.
Running and hiking!
Any type of high intensity interval training =)
I loved the elliptical at the gym but I want to start running so this would be great.
my fave cardio is spinning!
I love cardio kickboxing, running, or spinning! I actually do not have a smart phone! so, this timer would be awesome for tabata workouts! THANKS!
I am a spin addict though and through!!
Swimming is my favorite!
I’ve just started doing some HIIT, and this would be perfect! I was on Amazon a few days ago looking for an interval timer.
I like swimming, walking and running
I am obsessed with barre classes. I always leave sweaty and feel it the next day.
I love any cardio exercise if it’s done with friends! Long distance running, HIIT, T-25, etc. all fly by because with friends it’s more fun and seems to take less time. If I”m on my own though, I prefer to do running intervals.
Would love to use this during my boot camp classes:)
Another great giveaway!
This would be perfect for my HIIT workouts!
I have the gymboss app on my phone but this would be awesome because then I wouldn’t need to take my phone out on my workouts!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE gymboss!!!!!
Maybe this would be good for Tabata type workouts!!! Cool!!!
My favourite mode of cardio is intervals on my elliptical! I also like switching it up with the treadmill, hill machine, and outdoors, but it is -32* celsius (-25.6f) here in the winter, so leaving my house for any sort of workout will not be happening for a while.
I’m a runner, but love to mix cardio days up with spinning and other HIIT workouts, especially when I’m short on time!
Usually running but spin lately!
The timer is such a great idea! I am just getting into interval training and struggle with knowing when to switch exercises without a lot of pausing.
My current favorite cardio is BodyCombat!
My fav cardio is running, but right now I’m recovering from surgery…July 30th and have yet to exercise. It’s been so hard! Can’t wait to get this boot off in 6 days and be cleared to exercise!
I love taking walks around the neighborhood with my husband and dog 🙂
Spinning and plyometics!
I’ve recently gotten really into rowing- love it!!
Running!
The GymBoss is awesome! I’ve been wanting one for a while 🙂
R-U-N-N-I-N-G ftw.
running!
Perfect timing…I just got (finally) got an iPhone and have been adding a bunch of fitness apps but I love the idea of not having to cart the phone around during the workout!
this would be great to use during my marathon training!!!
Sounds like it’d be a good motivator!
Right now I am all about the stairmaster and treadmill intervals!
Kettlebells!
My favorite is cardio tabata!!
I’ve been thinking of getting one of these as I’ve been body rocking on an off for the last few months, and like you said, using the phone offers too many distractions!
I would love to use this at the gym!
I am such a runner, but I’ll sometimes switch to the elliptical if one of my preferred treadmills is already taken.
running!
Running. Hands down.
I’m a big fan of kickboxing! But I also turned into a Tabata a year ago and I love it!
