Gymboss Interval Timer Review/Giveaway

November 21, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Good morning, I hope you had a fab weekend. Mine was pretty relaxing. I am loving sitting on the couch and watching TV with the Christmas tree next to me. Today I am headed to the store for the last time before Thanksgiving. I hate going *too* close to turkey day because it gets so crowded, so hopefully I won’t get mowed down by crazy old ladies trying to get the last pie filling.

Today I have a fun review and giveaway. I was asked to review the Gymboss Interval Timer awhile back, but then I hurt my foot and wasn’t able to run and review it! I was able to check it out this past week and now you can have a chance to win one!

I really liked that there is a clip on the back (kind of like a beeper) so I could easily clip it to my waistband while running or working out. You can use this timer for many things other that just running sprints though:

The timer was really easy to set up and use. Here are some of the features:

  • 1 or 2 intervals – 2 seconds to 99 minutes
  • Repeat up to 99 times
  • Beep and/or Vibrate alarm
  • Alarm duration 1, 5, or 10 seconds
  • Stopwatch function
  • Secure Belt clip
  • Compact Size (1 ¾ x 2 ¼ x ½ inches)
  • Water and shock resistant

I personally have used the timer for circuit training and for running sprints. The alarm is plenty loud, and I like that if you want it to just vibrate and not beep, it has that option. Personally, I give this product a big thumbs up. If you don’t want to wear a watch and want something for timing that is portable, this is a great option. Those of you that love running with the Galloway method? This is the perfect thing for you! Did you know the Gymboss timer is the official timer of Jeff’s RunWalkRun program? It also comes in a variety of colors. The nice folks at Gymboss are going to give one away to a lucky RWS reader!

Here is how to enter. Please leave a separate comment for each entry:

1.) Like Gymboss on Facebook

2.) Tell me what you would use this timer for if you were to win

3.) retweet, post on Facebook or your blog about the giveaway and include a link to this post

You have until Friday night at 8 pm CST to enter, and I will announce a winner Saturday morning. Good Luck!

    I would use the Gymboss to time my intervals on the TM. I have an interval app on my iPhone, but I don’t like wearing my phone while I run.

    I sure enjoy popping into to your blog and envy your job with Running Skirts (and Disney).

    If I win, I will use it during the Disney Princess Half Marathon. I will also use during my training.

    I would use it at the WDW Marathon on 1/8/12. I love using my Garmin watch for intervals, but for a race that size, everyone’s watch is constantly beeping and it’s hard to tell whose beep is whose! I have been debating purchasing a GymBoss just for the vibration function! No more confusion!

    I would use this for intervals b/c I’m too lazy to reset my garmin when I want to do intervals. I would also use it for circuit training!

  21. Jen says

    Oh interesting! I’d like to use this for doing intervals post-baby. I think this would be better than staring at my Garmin since my pace will likely discourage me for awhile.

  22. Monica says

    I would use Gymboss to help time my Crossfit intervals!

  23. Karen H says

    I’d use it for my own bootcamp workouts or BodyRock workouts. It’d be so handy – especially since my gym doesn’t have clocks in convenient locations.

    Whoo! This is a great giveaway, Heather! I’ve come and gone from your blog (and many others of people I met/heard about through this year’s HLS) but since I don’t use Google Reader (why not?) haven’t been back for a while. This is a good post to stumble upon. 😉

    I’d use a GymBoss for high intensity workouts – for the intervals that are timed so I don’t need to lose seconds (and intensity) by checking my watch constantly. Also, it would be great to use for my clients! Thanks for the giveaway!

  48. Jonathan Davis says

    I would use it this January to see how much time the Galloway method can shave off of my Goofy Challenge time. PRing the half and crawling the full isn’t really working for me anymore.

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. 💖

I’ve been adding Incrediwear’s circulation socks and sport socks into my training routine, and they’ve helped me recover faster, reduce soreness, and keep my legs fresh for long runs. 
Unlike compression, Incrediwear products actually increase blood flow, which means more oxygen + nutrients where your body needs it most.

And it’s not just athletes who benefit. My dad’s had two knee replacements, and the Incrediwear knee sleeves help him manage swelling, restore mobility, and feel comfortable moving again.

From world-class athletes like LeBron James and Steph Curry to everyday runners (and even my dad!), Incrediwear makes recovery accessible to everyone. 🏃‍♀️💪
