GymNext Flex Timer Reviews

This is the absolute best timer app for trainers if you own the clock. The one thing they need to fix that will make this a 5 star app is the watch app. Where I coach I can’t always see the clock and I want to make my cues. There needs to be a way to sync the watch with the phone app. Right now you can not adjust the watch timers at all. But if they just made it so you could have it mirror whatever you set up on the phone GymNextFlexTimer would be unstoppable.

I have used GymNextFlexTimer for a few weeks with seemingly no trouble. I’ve got 2 different timers favorited which I use most often. Yesterday I tried creating a segmented timer for a new workout routine to try, and when I went to use it today, it was no where to be found. Frustrating to spend time labeling everything and adding correct rest intervals for nothing. So today I recreated the timer, favorited it. Took a screenshot bc I was nervous to even back out of it. And sure enough it was there! Only this time, it only saved the first segment I created. The other 3 segments on the timer were nowhere. So I have a SS of the timer I made and the timer that saved. I will try a 3rd time to recreate it, but if it doesn’t work I will have to move on. I love the flexibility of this timer app but it’s for nothing if I spend the first 30 min- 1hr of my workout session messing with timers every day.

It seems like there is no solution with GymNextFlexTimer. I love it, however when starting a timer, the countdown display on my phone versus what’s displayed on the clock is delayed by about 1 second. I’ve attempted to perform software updates, uninstall reinstall GymNextFlexTimer , reset the network setting on my phone and the customer service channel with GymNextFlexTimer has been unsuccessful.
How do I resolve this issue?

App can be difficult to use on a smaller phone, takes a long time to program long interval workouts. Once you have it all programmed the way you like it’s nice. Voices could use some work, the male is sort of creepy and the female sounds like a robot. I like to use GymNextFlexTimer in low light and the dark, which it has a feature to make the screen not bright white, but unfortunately it doesn’t work on the phone app, you click it and nothing happens, it stays on the “light” setting. The dark setting does work on the tablet however.

GymNextFlexTimer works great, especially for a free app, but i've notice one small issue: if you listen to music while using GymNextFlexTimer it will fade the background music so you can hear the beeps and speech, but it doesn't unfade after the beeps and speech are done, it just leaves you with near muted music. I know its asking a bit much to complain about a a free, but it would certainly be approcated if this was fixed

App works great with or without timers. Wish I didn’t have to have GymNextFlexTimer open to hear the sounds when not using the physical clock/timer.

Revising my original one star review which was related to a recent update that cause GymNextFlexTimer to crash on start up (not fun to realize right before you’re about to coach a class!). I deleted and reinstalled GymNextFlexTimer and now it works like new.

Best and most efficient timer on the market! App works well and syncs quickly, easily and to any Bluetooth device. I have multiple devices going at once. A sound bar connected to my iPad, my workout pulled up also on my iPad and then the timer and videos on my iPhone. GymNextFlexTimer doesn’t miss a beat! Plus I like the options for volume and sound so that it doesn’t freak out my neighbors but is loud enough for me to hear it while i am losing a piece of my soul on the garage gym floor. Love it! Rogue who?! Lol.

I dont have a single complaint about this timer. Timer customization meets all my workout needs. Im an avid crossfitter and to date i havent had a single issue with not being able to create a custom timer that didnt meet the needs of the workout. The display is bright even when outside in the sunlight. The beep is very distinctive in hearing even when my stereo is extremely loud. Well worth the price i paid compared to similar products that cost more.

We have been waiting for a dependable, battery, free, workout clock. We finally have one that does everything we need without the headache have batteries. The simplicity and functionality all from our iPhone makes this one of our favorite features in our personal home gym.

I have been using this timer for almost 2 years. I love the timer-sharing feature and the versatility and ease to build segments. I also appreciate the options for little details such as voice choices, count down or up, etc. I highly recommend it!

We love the versatility that this timer allows. We run a small gym and like to get creative with our interval training. GymNextFlexTimer also allows our members to download and run the same timer at home for the workout if they aren’t able to make it into the gym for that days workout. With multiple coaches and a clock at the gym that connects to an app, it allows for anyone to create the timer for that day. It was exactly what we were looking for and even after having it for several months, we still love it!

Love this timer app. Because of how easy it is to use, it’s versatility in the different modes / time domains I can only be excited for getting the wall timer. The fact that I can use the phone app to program the wall timer only makes it better! Great job!

Amazing range of features and I love that, unlike the other timer apps I tried, it doesn’t continuously keep my music almost muted in the background when running. I wish there were a way to completely eliminate the voice but, as far as I can see, it’s always going to say “Go” and often does the “3, 2, 1” countdown even when I’ve disabled it. That said, I would usually keep it on anyway and, for GymNextFlexTimer being free, I’m not knocking a star off for a minor issue.

Download GymNextFlexTimer if your looking for an interval timer for CrossFit like workouts. We purchased the gym clock for work and we downloaded this accompanying app on our phones to control the wall clock/timer. It syncs to the wall clock instantly and GymNextFlexTimer can be used away from the wall clock, (for instance at home) to time workouts. I love GymNextFlexTimer.

I've had the flex timer for about a month or so and can't say enough good things about it! I did my fair share of research into gym timers that included all of the well known brands (i.e Rogue, Titan Fitness, Fringe etc..) and this timer by far offers the most amount of features. I love how it doesn't have a remote and works via an app on your phone. The buzzer is plenty loud and can be turned down if wanted. LOVE how it hooks up to my gym speakers and the Apple watch app is a great plus! Don't mess around with the other guys. Skip the trouble and get a Flex Timer!

I love GymNextFlexTimer for my group training sessions! One suggestion that would be nice is fixing the bug that defaults the rest time to 10 seconds when sharing timer codes. It defaults the rest every time when a timer is set up with Work/Rest intervals. Overall I highly recommend !

Great app with every feature you’d need for timing any type of workout. I’ve made multiple timers which I was able to save as favorites and use depending on which workout I’m doing! Works well with or without and external timer (Bluetooth) — I’ve transitioned to using just my phone since moving most of my rock climbing training workouts to home. App even continues to count down/up for you with music playing in the background (though any counting/audio can be disabled as needed)! 5 stars!!!

GymNextFlexTimer is a must have for a gym timer. It perfect. I use it with my at air pods. The timer only alerts through headphones when their connected, meaning the rest of the gym wont hear your timer.

This is great for intervals in workouts. Very cusomizable. And can even time rest breaks in between intervals

I have been looking for a timer like this for about a year. It has EVERYTHING you need. I love that GymNextFlexTimer works perfectly without needing to be connected to the clock. I have both and have done about 100 workouts so far and have 0 complaints.

I use this all the time in my home gym and even use GymNextFlexTimer when I’m away. Very user friendly and easy to use. So many options and a variety of things to put together, even make favorite timers for quick easy use. I researched around and still happy years later with this.
