CrossFit AMRAP Timer

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.

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.

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