One clock

Presets or your own rhythm

Choose Classic (40/20), Even (30/30), Long (45/15) or Tabata (20/10), or set your own work and rest times. A circuit runs on one clock: a short lead-in, then work, a switch to the next station and rest between rounds.

  • 2 to 10 stations, 1 to 12 rounds
  • 15 seconds to 2 minutes of rest between rounds
  • Your own work and rest times if no preset fits

Voice coach

A voice that counts with you

The voice coach announces the next exercise, counts down the final seconds and tells you which round you are in, so you can keep your eyes on the work. It speaks English, Dutch or Spanish, and switches to beeps when you turn it off.

  • Next exercise, countdown, round and rest
  • In English, Dutch or Spanish
  • Beeps instead of the voice, if you prefer

The player

Every station on video

The player shows the current exercise full screen with a timer ring and the rounds still to come. Pause, skip, add 15 seconds of rest or end early whenever you need to, and the screen stays on for the whole circuit.

  • Exercise video for every station
  • Pause, skip or end early
  • Add 15 seconds during a rest or switch

After the last round

Reps and weight for every station

Set a weight for each station and note your reps during the rest. After the last round GrabGains saves your total active time, the time per round and the reps and weight per station. The next time you run the same work interval, you see what you managed before.

  • Total active time and time per round
  • Reps and weight per station
  • Counts toward your streak, like a strength session

Pro

Let the app build one for you

No time to plan? With Pro, GrabGains builds a circuit for you. Choose full body, upper body, lower body or core and how long you have, from 10 to 60 minutes. The circuit uses the equipment you have and runs on a 40/20 rhythm, or 30/30 if you are a beginner. Finished a circuit you liked? Repeat your last circuit with one tap.

  • Full body, upper body, lower body or core
  • 10 to 60 minutes, with the equipment you have
  • Repeat your last circuit with one tap

HYROX

Station work for HYROX conditioning

The circuit exercises include HYROX station movements such as the sled push, sled pull, SkiErg, rowing and wall balls, so you can add timed station work to your week. Circuits run on time rather than distance or rep targets and do not include runs, so they complement race-specific sessions rather than simulate a full race.

  • Sled push, sled pull, SkiErg, rowing and wall balls
  • Timed stations for conditioning
  • Plan your race pace with the HYROX calculator

Frequently asked questions

Is circuit training free in GrabGains?

Yes. Building and running your own circuits is free. Having GrabGains build a circuit for you is part of Pro.

Which interval presets are available?

Classic 40/20, Even 30/30, Long 45/15 and Tabata 20/10, in seconds of work and rest. You can also set your own work and rest times.

How many stations and rounds can a circuit have?

Between 2 and 10 stations and between 1 and 12 rounds, with 15 seconds to 2 minutes of rest between rounds.

Can I use GrabGains circuits to train for HYROX?

For station conditioning, yes: the sled push, sled pull, SkiErg, rowing and wall balls are available as timed stations. Circuits do not include running or distance targets, so they do not replace full race simulations.

Does the circuit timer support AMRAP or EMOM?

No. GrabGains circuits are timed intervals: every station has a fixed work time followed by a short switch, with rest between rounds.
