Gofit interval timer?

Anyone have this? I like this idea so I don't have to watch the clock. It will be a today's deal soon on Amazon.

ETA it's on sale now for 19.99

I went through three Gymbosses before I gave up- they kept breaking on me right after the warranty was up. I found that incredibly annoying.

This looks good- great price and so easy to set up- but I really like to create custom interval lengths.

Am I reading it right that the lowest it goes for work is 60 seconds and the lowest for rest is 30 seconds? Too bad if this is the case. My preference for interval training is to rest no more than 15 seconds.

Thanks for linking it though. It is a good price!

Couldn't you use an app on your phone for that? I've downloaded one though I never used it... lol.

Thanks. I ordered one. I don't have a cell phone. I do have a very old ipod though. It was a good price and seemed simple to use

Is this like the Gymboss Max where you can customize several intervals withing a workout or is it just like a regular gymboss? Thanks!

It's like neither- you only have three length options for rest intervals and work intervals (not customizable intervals lengths like the original Gymboss and the Gymboss Max). Like the original Gymboss, it'll just repeat the intervals you choose.

I did not get it yet but it is very simple. Set the one switch to workout time and the other rest time. Not customizable. I like the simplicity of it.

I agree with neatski... Description says has pre-set workout time interval...that's a deal killer for me I like and need flexible

I thought about doing this too. I'm curious how the app would work. Has anyone done it?
