AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) is one of CrossFit's foundational workout formats. You set a fixed time window — 7, 10, 12, 15, or 20 minutes are most common — and complete as many full rounds of the prescribed circuit as possible within that window. Score is total rounds plus any additional reps in a partial final round. The 10-minute default is a versatile AMRAP duration: long enough to produce significant metabolic conditioning, short enough to allow near-maximal effort throughout. The warning beep at 10 seconds remaining signals you to finish the current movement and note your score. Common AMRAP workouts include Cindy (5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats, 20 minutes).

Ten minutes balances sufficient work volume to produce cardiovascular adaptation with a duration short enough to maintain intensity. Longer AMRAPs (15-20 min) shift toward aerobic endurance; shorter AMRAPs (5-7 min) are more anaerobic in character. Adjust based on your training goal.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What does AMRAP mean in CrossFit?

AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds As Possible. You complete as many full rounds of a circuit as you can within the set time. Score is total rounds plus extra reps.

What is a good AMRAP duration for beginners?

7-10 minutes is ideal for beginners. It's long enough to be challenging but short enough to sustain effort. Progress to 12 and 15 minutes as conditioning improves.

How do I score an AMRAP?

Count completed full rounds. For the final partial round, count the individual reps completed. Your score is written as rounds + reps (e.g., '5+12').

Can I use this for Hero workouts like Cindy?

Yes. Set the timer to 20 minutes for Cindy (5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats). The countdown format tracks the remaining time throughout the workout.

What is the difference between an AMRAP and an EMOM?

An AMRAP runs continuously for a fixed time — you go as fast as you can. An EMOM structures work into 1-minute intervals with built-in rest. EMOMs self-regulate pace; AMRAPs reward maximal effort throughout.

Can I change the AMRAP duration?

Yes. The settings panel lets you adjust the countdown duration. Common CrossFit AMRAP times: 7, 10, 12, 15, and 20 minutes.

Does this timer work for AMRAP in a box (gym)?

Yes. The timer works on any device including tablets, which can be mounted or propped up in a gym. It works offline once loaded, suitable for gym use without reliable WiFi.

Does the timer warn me when time is almost up?

Yes — a warning beep sounds at 10 seconds remaining so you can finish your current rep and prepare to note your score.
