I must admit I have not used the Gymboss timer in a gym. It's a simple, easy-to-use programmable timer. You set an interval (e.g. 20 minutes), choose an alarm (audible or vibration) and press "start". It will then alert you once the time is up; choose "auto" mode and it will keep doing this every 20 minutes.
I've used it for two purposes:
1. My chiropractor tells me I should be stretching every 20 minutes. The timer is just the job to act as an automatic reminder.
2. When I'm giving a talk or presentation (part of my job), I set the timer to buzz to remind me to change topic / wind up / whatever. It's a great antidote to long-windedness and it allows me to pace the talk exactly the way I want to.
The only negative comment - I would recommend throwing away the "free" battery that comes with it and replacing it with a decent battery.

Can be used both as a stopwach or as an interval timer. It is possible to have one or two different length intervals, which can be repeated for up to 99 times.
I found it relatively easy to program but then I am the one who sets up appliances in our house. However I will still need to keep the instructions handy.
I love it that the alarm has three levels: vibrate only, quiet and loud. The vibrating alarm level is quiet enough to use in an open plan office. It is even possible to set how many seconds the alarm goes on for (from 1 to 9).
I have been using it to set my own cardio intervals (3 minutes, 1 minute, repeated for as many times I need), to time my son's bedtime countdown, for work and break timing, cooking etc. Just love it!

This is great! I was looking for a stop watch to time my rest between sets lifting wieghts and this is just the job. I have set it to beep afer 1 minute.
So, I clip it to my shorts on the side and when I have finished a set I press the button and wait to hear the beep, then it's time to go again! It's speeded up and simplified my worksouts and I no longer need to keep my eye on the clock.
Wasn't difficult to set up and and has been working well so far.

Gymboss a wimp
My Gymboss stopped working after an unacceptably short time. I always looked after the product - removing the battery after use and packing it away carefully. Read more

Made a great difference to my training. Those little "beeps" really fire you up and make you push harder. Read more

cheap construction. fiddly to use
for the price, I was expecting something rugged that would stand up to a bit of abuse in the gym. I was sorely disappointed. Read more

Gymboss Interval Timer
Saw this product on Bodyrock.tv and thought it looked a necessity for working out at home. Well worth the price and a must-have for workouts at home!

The Gym Boss is a good little timer. You can set it to repeat interval rounds and can schedule in a break between rounds. Read more
