What is an EMOM timer?

An EMOM timer is an interval timer that starts a new round at the top of every interval — "every minute on the minute." You complete a set amount of work within each interval, then rest with whatever time is left until the next one begins. The timer counts down each interval, signals the turnover with an audio cue, and tracks which round you're on, so you never have to watch the clock to know when to start the next set.

EMOM is one of the most popular formats in CrossFit and functional fitness because it self-regulates pace: finish your reps faster and you earn more rest; finish slower and the next round comes sooner.

How an EMOM works

You program a number of rounds and the work for each. For example, EMOM 10: 3 power cleans. At 0:00 you do three cleans, rest until 1:00, then repeat — ten times, for a ten-minute workout. Intervals don't have to be a minute: 90-second or 2-minute EMOMs are common for longer pieces.

How to use this EMOM timer

  1. Set the interval in seconds — 60 for a classic EMOM.
  2. Set the number of rounds.
  3. Press start. The timer counts down each interval, beeps the last three seconds, and sounds a longer tone at the turnover. The round counter shows where you are.

    Add one rep each minute until you can’t finish inside the interval — pair it with the AMRAP mindset.
