Primal Magnetic Mini Gym Timer

When it comes to exercise, particularly HIIT training I HAVE to be able to see just how long I have left to go, relying on some sadistic PT to count me down makes me irrationally angry and quite a bit sweary. The Magnetic Mini Gym Timer from Primal is a great way to keep you motivated knowing exactly how far you have come and how much you have to go. This digital clock has a magnetic backing which is handy to stick it somewhere in eyeline, your garage gym door, the bench you are working on, the rig or rack, wherever.

There are eight preset timer functions to choose from, 24H/12H clock, MIIT, HIIT, Tabata, 5min workout (WO)/1min rest x5, 5mins WO/1min rest x3, 1min WO/no rest x17, 1min 30secs WO/1min rest x17, then there are 10 groups of customisable programs, count up, count down and stopwatch. There are physical buttons on the top to set up what you need, it takes a bit of practice to get used to the programming but there instructions included are clear enough.

It comes in a compact little body 130mm x 39mm x 23.5mm, dinky enough to throw in your gym back without taking up too much space, the vibrant LED display stands out clearly, it has a healthy battery life and is easily recharged when needed. It is perhaps a little pricey for what it is but it feels robust and does what it needs you to help you get through the workout. RRP £59.99
