Is tickward free for fitness timers?
tickward is free and open source, with unlimited timers for fitness classes, gym challenges, and race dates.
Countdown timer for fitness classes and gym goals
A countdown timer for fitness keeps class launches, gym challenges, and race days visible before members arrive. Use it as a workout countdown timer for scheduled dates and times, while interval blocks still belong in your workout app.
Create a workout countdown timer for a bootcamp kickoff, transformation challenge, registration deadline, or community race. Share the link with members or embed it on your gym site.
Share a countdown timer for fitness communities
A shared countdown gives members one place to check when a challenge starts, when registration closes, or how long remains before race day. That helps gym communities coordinate when not everyone follows the same calendar.
Each timer stays tied to a target date, time, and timezone, so members see the same deadline whether they open it from home, the gym, or a mobile browser.
Organize each workout countdown timer
tickward works well for dates and start times: a six-week challenge, a Saturday class, a monthly benchmark, or an annual race. It is not an interval or HIIT timer for seconds-based workout blocks.
Use projects and spaces to group class schedules, challenge deadlines, and race countdowns. Pin the timer that needs to stay easy to find.
