View Full Version : Where to get a timer?

I'm looking to get a personal timer that has selectable round times and rest times to make it easier to workout at home on my heavy bag. The professional gym ones I'm finding all cost over $100. I just want something simple and inexpensive (under $30?). I saw one from Everlast for around $12.99 but read horrible reviews on Amazon.com. It seems like something easy to make, but I can't find anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Axiak Boxing & Martial Arts Timer

Still a little more than I'd like to pay (it's $59), but much less than some gym timers with the features I want.

Anyone have experience with this? Any other suggestions?

Interval timer for 19.95.

My only regret is that I only bought one.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Just wanted to follow up and say I ordered the Gymboss timer and it's great. Small enough to fit in your pocket and it has a vibrate mode in case you want to use it at the gym.

Perfect for focus mit / bag work rounds and also for tabata workouts or splits.

It came quickly too. Only took a couple days.

Thanks again,

Kitchen timers are $ 4 at WalMArt. If you need something fancy for intervals, just pick up a couple.

The gymboss is only $20 and does whatever interval you want. I ordered one.

There is no max time for the gymboss?
60 minute rounds?

Or does it only go up to 5?

I got a bit confused :confused:

You can set the rounds, and the intervals, anywhere from 2 seconds to 60 minutes.

HI,

In England ,there is a company called MAPLINS which does a very good cheap
timer.
it is a stopwatch ,timer ,alarm and clock.
It can do continuous intervals i.e. 1 min "beep" then 30 secs "beep" continuous to whatever time you set,
if you get my drift...........
You might be able to order on online.
I got mine for £5.99 (about $11)
