AMRAP Timer
Free AMRAP timer for CrossFit and functional fitness. Set a time cap, work as many rounds as possible, and track your performance. No registration required.
AMRAP — As Many Rounds (or Reps) As Possible — is a time-capped workout format popularized by CrossFit in which athletes perform a fixed sequence of movements repeatedly for a set duration, typically 8 to 20 minutes. The score is the total number of complete rounds plus any additional reps completed when time expires. AMRAP's genius lies in its self-regulating intensity: there is no mandatory rest period, so athletes manage their own pacing strategy, deciding when to push and when to briefly recover while still moving. This format develops aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, and mental toughness simultaneously. Common AMRAP benchmarks include the CrossFit workout 'Cindy' (5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats for 20 minutes) and numerous other benchmark workouts with a defined movement list. Unlike EMOM formats that impose external pacing, AMRAP rewards efficiency — the faster you move through each round, the more rounds you accumulate. Coaches use AMRAP scores over repeated attempts to track fitness progress objectively, as an increase in rounds completed indicates measurable improvement in work capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does AMRAP stand for in fitness?
AMRAP stands for 'As Many Rounds As Possible' (sometimes 'As Many Reps As Possible' for single-exercise formats). The goal is to complete as many full cycles of a prescribed movement list as you can within the allotted time. Your final score is rounds completed plus any additional reps from a partially completed round.
How long should an AMRAP workout be?
AMRAP durations typically range from 5 to 20 minutes. Shorter AMRAPs (5–8 minutes) are high-intensity and sprint-like, demanding near-maximal effort. Longer AMRAPs (15–20 minutes) are more aerobic and require disciplined pacing. Beginners often start with 8–10 minute AMRAPs before progressing to longer time caps.
Is there rest during an AMRAP?
There is no programmed rest in an AMRAP — the clock runs continuously and you work until time is called. However, athletes are free to rest briefly as needed (e.g., take a breath between reps or between rounds). Strategic micro-rests often allow for a higher total score than going all-out and burning out early.
How do I scale an AMRAP workout for my fitness level?
Scaling options include reducing load (lighter weights), modifying movements (knee push-ups instead of strict push-ups, ring rows instead of pull-ups), reducing reps per round, or shortening the time cap. The goal is to maintain continuous movement for most of the workout — if you are stopping every few seconds, the workout is likely too difficult as prescribed.
