CROSSFIT TIMER GUIDE
CrossFit timers: AMRAP, EMOM, For Time, and workouts without the gym timer
A timer does more than count seconds. It gives the WOD structure, makes results comparable, and lets you train when the gym timer is not available.
In brief
In brief
ChalkClash keeps timer, workout, and score in one flow: choose a mode, configure rounds and rest, train with audio cues, and save the result to the clan leaderboard.
A TOOL, NOT AN ACCESSORY
The WOD continues when the gym timer is not there
In a class, the gym timer creates a shared reference. But you may train in open gym, outside class hours, or somewhere without a visible display.
Having a timer on your phone keeps the workout structure intact and lets you save the result as soon as you finish.
- Less setup between modes.
- Clear time caps, rounds, and rest.
- A result ready to log and share.
CHOOSE THE RHYTHM
Each WOD format has its own timer
AMRAP, EMOM, For Time, For Weight, Tabata, and Mix ask different things of an athlete. The timer should follow the format rather than force every workout into one countdown.
ChalkClash also lets you compose custom sequences with different blocks and rest between intervals.
- AMRAP for work inside a defined duration.
- EMOM for regular work intervals.
- For Time, Tabata, For Weight, and Mix for more specific structures.
