Set up a session in four steps
Choose your rounds
Set how many work rounds you want to complete, then choose the work duration and rest duration.
Give yourself preparation time
Set a countdown that lets you put on your gloves and take your position. Preparation does not reduce the planned work time.
Choose your controls
Use the free on-screen buttons, or enable an available Pro control. Test glove tap, Siri or headphone recognition before starting.
Keep the app on screen
Start any music first and return to Boxing Timer. Start the session on screen; if you need a break, pause and later resume the same remaining time.
Example round settings
These are editable clock examples, not training prescriptions or official competition settings. Follow your coach and change them for your own session.
| Practice | Work | Rest | Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boxing bag-work example | 3 min | 1 min | 6 |
| Muay Thai / kickboxing example | 3 min | 1 min | 5 |
| MMA-drill example | 5 min | 1 min | 3 |
What happens when you pause?
The round stays yours
The current phase, round number and remaining time are retained. Continuing does not restart the round from the beginning.
Time to get ready again
If a preparation countdown is enabled before continuing, it gives you time to reset before the saved work or rest countdown resumes.
Foreground timing
Locking the device or moving the app to the background pauses the session and saves progress. Keep the app in the foreground while training.
Make cues easy to hear
- Play music before you start, then return to the training app.
- Check the device volume, audio route and spoken cues before putting on gloves.
- Use the on-screen controls to start, end or reset the session. Pro controls pause and resume.
- For control setup and purchase restoration, see the support guide.
