Free Circuit Training Timer
Name, time, and reorder each station before looping the complete circuit.
A real station builder, not one repeated label
A circuit timer should identify where you are in a group of stations. Add an exercise, give it a clear name, set its active duration and transition, then drag the sequence conceptually by using the accessible move-up and move-down controls. Remove any station you do not need.
The included Jumping Jacks, Squats, Push-Ups, and Rest stations demonstrate how the builder behaves. They are editable examples, not a claim that the sequence is appropriate for every user. The circuit timer validates that at least one named step has a positive duration before it can run.
Follow the station loop
Within each circuit round, the engine runs the current station and then its transition before advancing. At the end of the list, it returns to the first station for the next circuit round. The display keeps the current station, next station, and circuit round visible.
Transition time can cover a position or equipment change; set it to zero when no separate transition is needed. A station typed as Rest uses the recovery styling and cue. Preparation occurs once before the full circuit, not before every station.
Circuit timer versus free-form workout timeline
Circuit structure assumes the same station list repeats for a selected number of rounds. A custom workout timeline can contain different preparation, exercise, rest, and custom steps in any order, then repeat the complete timeline if requested.
Use this circuit timer when named stations and repeated loops are the central structure. Use the workout timer when the sequence itself varies. Both run locally, preserve validated builder settings when storage is available, and continue if storage access is denied.
Build a circuit that remains readable
Use short, distinct station names that can be recognized on the running screen. A transition belongs to the station it follows, so changing that value changes the pause before the next named item. Move-up and move-down controls alter the real execution order, and the preview total updates from all active durations, transitions, and circuit rounds.
Builder controls are locked after Start so deleting or reordering a station cannot silently replace an active timeline. Reset unlocks editing. If every valid station is removed, Start is disabled and an error explains what is missing instead of running preparation with nowhere to go. Free-form station names remain local and are excluded from analytics events.
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about how this timer format works.
Can I rename every circuit station?
Yes. Each station name is editable and appears on the large running display.
How do I reorder an exercise?
Use the move-up and move-down buttons beside that exercise. These controls work with a keyboard and include accessible labels.
Is transition time added after the final station?
A transition is added only when another station or circuit round follows. The final station leads directly to completion.
Can one station be a rest period?
Yes. Choose or name a Rest station; the default example includes one and it uses recovery styling.
What does a circuit round mean here?
One circuit round means one pass through every valid station in the displayed order.
