Kettlebell Timer Pro App Reviews

ive had many timer apps. i now only use this one. its easy to use and very customizable. ive programmed different timers for different types of workouts. not only with kettlebells.

Kettlebells are a great workout, with tremendous strength and cardio benefits. This timer has all the features to create and execute a solid and varied training program. But what really clinches it for me is the implementation of the randomizer feature. Pavel T., the "Evil Russian" and popular kettlebell proponent argues in his books and on his web site that to improve physical performance you need to do two things: first, get in the habit of swinging the kettlebell; and second, always train "the same but different". In Pavels words "Why same - because it ensures focussed adaption and makes you less sore. Why different - because variations help to reduce the odds of overuse while keeping the routine the same (spoken in a Russian accent, of course). Workout intensity and volume must be varied. What happens if you dont? Doing a standard set 5-6 days per week, every week results in body and mind adaptations. You mentally and physically know what to expect - you pace yourself; and after awhile the workout gets boring. When you get bored, you get injured ... and if not injured, your progress slows or stops alltogether and you lose interest. When randomizing your workout (same but different) your body and mind dont adapt, and you gain in strength and cardio. With previous versions, I programmed seven or eight different presets to change things up - but now, just shake the iPhone and get a whole new workout. With all its rich and varied features the Kettlebell Timer Pro is by far the best and most effective way to manage your training program. If your into kettlebells, or just starting, this app should be your training partner. Highly recommended!!!

The best Kettlebell timer Ive found so far. I love how customizable it is. One of my favorite features is the lead-in timer so you can press "Start" and have time to get into position before the workout begins. Perfect for VO2s and swings, but can also be customized for other combination workouts. Great value for the money!

I used to like this app a lot, but ever since I upgraded, it no longer works on my iPhone.

The best of timers for interval training.

This application is amazing. It is easy to use and the tracking is top notch. Ive been using kettlebells for one year now and this timer is breathing more life into my already intense routine. This works amazing for HIIT like Tabata. The only downside with Tabata is it counts the reps you put in it. It would be cool to turn the rep counter off at will. But Im not one to complain. You have to buy this app hands down it is my favorite app on my IPod touch!!!

A+ for this app. Use of this swing timer has definitely improved my workouts. I recommend it for any interval training.

I was new to kettle bells when I purchased the app. It has allowed me to get the most out of my workouts. I love it!

Great idea. But some of the settings dont work, or at least I cant figure them out. When I edit the presets and change the Rep Mode (to cadence) and Show Rep Counter, nothing happens. No change in the app. I think the cadence mode is what Im after (I dont count my reps) but I cant be sure. Still...on the right track. I need one of these :)

The app is ok but is still very buggy, when creating a custom workout, if you select both, right or left hands, the display does not display the correct hand, when there is a break, the next exercise should be displayed to give you time to prepare for it.

app is a great tool.

This App is really great, especially for the Viking warrior conditioning!

Awesome app for Viking Warrior Conditioning

I had been searching for a good timer for kettle bell routines. This one fits the bill in a big way! It has such a simple, obvious screen, audible options for every conceivable need, and a huge variety of other abilities that Im just starting to scratch the surface of. This was well worth my purchase price!

Great app, but Ill raise my rating to five stars if you folks would please add adjustable "ready-set-go", warp-up, and cool-down timers/options. Thanks!

I use this for the Viking Warrior workout. It helps you time your cadence. You can make your own workout timers to suit you.

I like the fact that I. Can create my playlist from my iTunes right in the app. I however cannot seem to get the sounds to work within the app. I like having a bell to tell me when my timed set ends, so I do not have to watch the clock. There are a few other things I would change. I do not count reps when I do a kettlebell workout, I use 2:00 intervals for each exercise with a minute of rest in between. I cannot figure out how to set the app up for interval training.

VO2 Max kettlebell training is the best workout there is!!! This app is PERFECT for me!! No complaints!

Its an okay app, but there are some obvious bugs. The voice announcer only announces the last exercise you just did. Thats not very helpful. It also give you weird errors telling you that you can only do rest periods in multistep workouts when you ARE trying to test multi-step workout. Id also like a way to string multiple multi-step routines together of at least have a repeat function so that I dont have to copy the same steps multiple times to do more than one cycle. Its a nice start to an app Ive always wanted...but this needs lots of polish.

This is the perfect interval timer. You name it, it has the features. All of the bells and whistles and the customer support is great. I was looking for a rest timer between rounds and the developer walked me through it. Get this one!
