      Circuit training timer for stations

      The mistake in most circuit timers is treating rest as recovery. In a circuit it is also the transition, so fifteen seconds of rest between stations is really zero seconds of rest.

      The short answer

      Set the rest long enough to move between stations and still breathe: 20 to 30 seconds where equipment changes, 15 where nobody moves. Count one round as a full lap of every station, and run two to four laps — a circuit is defined by getting round the stations, so the round count in the timer should be your station count multiplied by the laps.

      How to use it

      Three steps to a timer on the wall

      1. Step 1: Choose a time

        Pick a preset or set your own. The timer remembers what you used last on this device.

      2. Step 2: Press start

        Start the timer, then press F or the fullscreen button to fill the screen.

      3. Step 3: Run the room

        Space pauses, the up arrow adds a minute, R resets. Fullscreen shows the timer alone, with no ads and no navigation.

      Running it well

      Four things worth knowing

      • Rest is transition time as well as recovery

        Fifteen seconds to cross a room, adjust a weight and start again is fifteen seconds of moving equipment. Use 20 to 30 where anything has to be changed.

      • Set rounds as stations × laps

        Eight stations done twice is sixteen rounds, not eight. Getting this wrong is the most common reason a circuit ends halfway round the room.

      • Put the loudest cue on the change, not the start

        In a group, everyone needs to hear the move. The colour handles the start of work; the sound should mark the point where people swap.

      • Order the stations so the same muscles are not adjacent

        Two pushing stations in a row means the second one is limited by the first rather than by the effort. Alternate push, pull and legs around the circuit.

      In the room

      Built to be read from the back row

      A timer that only works on the person running it is not doing the job. The digits scale to the screen, the colour changes before the end, and fullscreen shows nothing else at all.

      FAQ

      Questions people ask

      Anything we've missed?

      Tell us

      How long should each circuit station be?

      Forty to sixty seconds of work for most stations, with 20 to 30 seconds to change over. Shorter work suits high-skill movements; longer suits simple ones.

      How many laps of a circuit should I do?

      Two to four, depending on station count and length. Eight stations at 45 seconds is already six minutes a lap, so three laps is a full session.

      How do I set the round count?

      Multiply your number of stations by the number of laps. Six stations done three times is eighteen rounds.

      Can a group all see the timer?

      Yes. Press F for fullscreen on a gym TV or a laptop and the colour fills the screen, so people can tell the phase from across the room without reading a number.
