AMRAP timer
As Many Rounds As Possible: the time is fixed, the work is not. You repeat a circuit as many times as you can before the clock runs out, and the round count is your score.

What does AMRAP stand for?
AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds As Possible. You fix a duration, you define a circuit, and you repeat it until the clock hits zero.
The difference from the other formats fits in one sentence: rest is not on the programme. It is neither given nor earned — it is taken out of your score. Every second spent standing and breathing is a second that produces no round, and that is exactly what makes the format demanding.
A worked session
AMRAP 12 minutes
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 air squats
This circuit is called "Cindy" when it runs for twenty minutes. A trained athlete gets fifteen to twenty rounds; eight on your first attempt is normal, and it is the number every later attempt compares against.
AMRAP or For Time?
Both formats measure the same thing from opposite ends.
- AMRAP — time fixed, work varies. Score in rounds.
- For Time — work fixed, time varies. Score in minutes.
The AMRAP has one practical advantage in a group: everybody finishes at the same moment, whatever their level. A For Time staggers the finishes, which complicates the running of a large class.
Counting rounds without losing track
In your head you hold on for five or six rounds. Past that, out of breath, the count becomes an estimate — and an estimated score does not compare from one session to the next.
Round & Rest shows a +1 round button during an AMRAP: one tap per finished round, without taking your eyes off the clock, and the total appears at the end alongside your time.
Getting the duration right
- Under eight minutes — the format turns into a sprint, and movement quality degrades fast.
- Twelve to twenty minutes — the most useful window: long enough for pacing to matter, short enough to stay intense.
- Past thirty minutes — this is endurance work, and should be treated as such: shorter circuit, lighter loads.
The timer
The screen is a full-frame block of colour with ultra-bold white digits: the time remaining reads from across the room, phone flat on the floor, even in direct sunlight. One cue at the start, one at the end. No beep every ten seconds — a timer that sounds constantly stops being information.
