WOD Timer

An AMRAP timer counts up to a fixed time cap while you complete as many rounds as possible of a prescribed workout. When the timer beeps, you stop and record how many rounds and extra reps you finished. AMRAP is one of the most common functional fitness formats because it scales naturally — beginners and advanced athletes do the same workout but accumulate different round counts. Typical AMRAP windows range from 7 to 20 minutes. The WodMachine AMRAP timer includes a 10-second get-ready countdown, an audible beep when the cap is reached, and an optional screen wake lock so your display stays on throughout the session. You can also log your score to track improvement over time.

An EMOM timer signals the start of each new minute. You perform the prescribed reps at the top of every minute, and whatever time remains before the next beep is your rest. If you finish the reps in 35 seconds, you rest for 25 seconds. If you finish in 55 seconds, you rest for 5. This format creates built-in pacing: as fatigue accumulates, your rest windows shrink, which makes later rounds progressively harder without changing the prescription. WodMachine supports standard EMOMs (same work every minute) and alternating EMOMs where different movements rotate each minute. Common durations are 10, 12, 15, and 20 minutes.

Tabata is a high-intensity interval protocol developed by Dr. Izumi Tabata: 20 seconds of maximum effort followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 8 rounds. One Tabata cycle takes exactly 4 minutes. The protocol was originally designed for sprint cycling but works well with bodyweight movements like air squats, burpees, push-ups, and kettlebell swings. WodMachine extends the standard single-movement Tabata to multi-movement Tabata sessions — select 2, 3, or 4 movements and the timer rotates through 8 rounds of each, maintaining the 20/10 work-rest ratio throughout. This gives you an 8- to 16-minute session that hits multiple muscle groups.

Yes. This page is a standalone workout timer. Pick a format, choose a preset duration, and press Start — the timer runs immediately in your browser without requiring a generated workout, an account, or any other setup. It works equally well for your own programmed workouts, class sessions you want to time independently, or any situation where you need a format-aware fitness timer rather than a plain stopwatch. If you want a workout to go with the timer, you can generate one from the WOD generator, and the Start button on that workout card will open the timer pre-configured for its format.
