Guessing your time on your workout sets? โฒ๏ธ Well, now you don't have to!

Available on the TrueCoach Client app for both iOS and Android devices, you can now use our timer features within the app while you break a sweat. The timer features will continue to run even when you navigate away from the app!

Here's the quick rundown on the features:

  • Stopwatch: Counts up indefinitely.

  • Countdown timer: Counts down from a specified amount of time.

  • Interval timer (iOS only): Counts down from a specified workout and rest duration, for a given number of intervals.


To use the timer features, tap into a specific exercise card within your workout.

iOS users have the option of selecting between the stopwatch, timer, or interval timer. Android users have the option of selecting between the stopwatch and timer. (They will see the interval timer soon!)


The Stopwatch:

Ah, the classic stopwatch. This timer feature counts up indefinitely. Upon stopping the time or exiting the stopwatch, the recorded time will be automatically copied and ready for pasting into the exercise results.


The Countdown Timer:

The countdown timer counts down from a specified amount of time--perfect for those AMRAPs or when you want to time your rests!


The Interval Timer (iOS only) :

Need a timer for your EMOM or TABATA workouts? The interval timer features a 10-second countdown and counts down from a specified workout and rest duration, for a given number of intervals.

First, specify the working time, rest time, and the number of intervals, then hit "Start" to display a 10-second countdown.

The green screen displays the time remaining of your work set, while the red screen displays the rest time.

It's easy to get lost on which set you're on, so let this timer do the work! ๐Ÿ˜Œ The "Intervals Remaining" box helps to remind you of how many intervals are left.

Troubleshooting tip: Turn on TrueCoach notifications in your phone settings to enable interval timer alerts even when you navigate away from the app.


If you aren't seeing these timers, make sure you are on the latest version of the app:
