The classic protocol with every number editable — and a ring that flips color the instant work turns to rest.
No install, no app store. It’s a web page — your gym TV already runs it.
The Tabata protocol is brutally simple: 20 seconds of maximal work, 10 seconds of rest, eight rounds — four minutes that feel like forty. The timer’s job is instant clarity: athletes glancing up mid-burpee need to know work-or-rest in a tenth of a second.
That’s what the color-flipping ring is for — orange means work, teal means rest, and the whole ring changes at once. All three numbers are editable (20/10/8 is a default, not a law), so 30/15, 40/20, or anything else your programming calls for takes five seconds to set up.
$29 / MO PER GYM
Tabata is high-intensity interval training: 20 seconds of all-out effort, 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 8 rounds (4 minutes total). It comes from Dr. Izumi Tabata’s 1996 research on high-intensity training with Japan’s speed-skating team.
Yes — work, rest, and rounds are all editable, so 30/15, 40/20 × 10, or any interval scheme runs on the same timer.
The entire progress ring changes color — orange for work, teal for rest — and the phase label flips with it. It reads instantly from across a gym floor.
Yes — free at wodfoundry.com/timer (free runs cap at 10 minutes, which covers any classic Tabata twice over). Gyms can put their own name, colors, and logo on it for $29/mo.
