Custom interval timer

Build any workout interval by interval, with its own names, colors and icons, from a quick template or from scratch

Most workouts fit a simple timer: work, rest and sets. When yours doesn’t, Cero’s advanced timer lets you build it one interval at a time.

What you can build

  • Up to 200 intervals in one timer, each from 1 second to 30 minutes.
  • Open intervals, with no fixed length: they move on when you tap Done, for distances, reps or rounds for time.
  • Your own kinds of interval, with a name, a color, an icon, an intensity level and a default length, such as Row, Burpees or Stretch.
  • Reorder, duplicate and delete intervals, and duplicate a whole set of them to repeat a block.
  • Adaptive HR rules for the timer, to rest by heart rate.
