Add Interval Training Timer (HIIT) That Buzzes at a Certain Pace

[Lins923]

Hello,
I'm excited about the new products. I am a run/walker, and in training for my recent marathon, a friend had a garmin watch that vibrated at certain intervals. (Ex: if I wanted to have a pace of 3min run/1min walk it would vibrate at those intervals to keep me on track).

 Please get interval training already. This is very essential to someone like me who walks half and jogs half of the target distance.

Please get an interval trainer software update for all Fitbits, it is clear that this is an essential features for most customers who want to do more than just count steps or total workout time.

Yes please! An interval option would be amazing!!

Dear Fitbit,

I own a Fitbit Blaze. I bought it as soon as it came out and loving it. I am using it all the time. Love many of the features including the silent alarm. I also love it when it vibrates all of a sudden on my wrist to let me know that I reached my daily goal of steps. So, with that vibrating feature in mind, I would love it even more if there was an interval app that I could set it to vibrate on my wrist at every 30sec or every 60 sec or every 90 sec or so, and to also set it to have mixed time to include breaks of 45sec every 90 sec. There are such apps for phones; however i don't cary my phone on me while exercising. I will be using for my stretching exercises which takes about 1 hr total. I start with 30sec per pose or so I think because it is not easy to track time when in the pose. I would like to increase my time and at each pose in the future. A vibrating fitbit blaze for instance sounds much better and useful for that. I would appreciate your efforts greatly. Thanks.

I would also like the interval run option for my surge. Per jswalker1981, sounds like they are working on it. I am unsure why it is limited to 49 times, but hope this can be added to my existing watch.

I can't believe that the fitbit community has been asking for this simple timing feature to be added for years and it still hasn't been added across devices (apparently the charge 2 has it..) I'm recovering from an injury and the dr has me on interval workouts to slowly get back in shape. This should be possible, the programming of it is not that difficult.

Looking forward to seeing it implemented!

would love Powerwave to be an option 

[Sgp123]

Yes please, we need a hiit training mode

[SunsetRunner]

It would be nice to be able to program your fitbit to buzz on your wrist for pre-defined intervals to allow for HIIT training without having to wear a second watch that beeps or a cellphone to notify you when you need to switch from high intensity to low and back again.

There isn't a 'HIIT' activity and it's got to be pretty popular. Would be nice if this was added

[Deadp007]

That has my vote! The buzz feature for user defined durations would be great....

[mujipanda]

I was thinking about this too!

[JDownie91]

What tracker are you using? The Charge 2 has this option, not sure if other trackers do though.

[SunsetRunner]

I have a Charge HR.  So the Charge 2 has user defined buzz intervals?  I'd assume if so, its not going to be implemented backwards.

[Tinker59]

I do HIIT four days a week and have to put it under 'Calisthenics'. I vote yes on this!

[theamazinggem]

This would definitely be useful!

[Musicgeek]

Would love an interval option on my Blaze!

[Globule]

Like a repeater alarm?

Set for 3 min, then 30 seconds

Decvice buzzes to start

3 min later buzzes again

30 seconds later buzzes again

3 min later buzzes

30 seconds later buzzes

etc

Possibly also with a triple buzz to signify end of set amount of repetitions?

[JDownie91]

Yes, the Charge 2 has this option

[Nossy8]

When will you add this exercise option so we can record workouts?

[Rich_Laue]

This is a duplicate requesr, I would go there and add your vote to existing 700 rather than start the count k over. 

[SRepnyek]

Interval timing? YES, Please!

I notice that this is available on the new Fitbit Charge 2, so I don't understand why it wasn't also made available on the other Fitbits that are above the Charge.  This is something that would be the difference in deciding whether to buy Fitbit, again, or go with another brand.

PLEASE give us this option...it's a very important one that will make a huge difference and impact for Fitbit!

Thank you and God Bless You!

I would like to see an interval timer as described by Globule aavailable on the Surge.

[picmephoto]

Interval timer on the blaze would be nice

[spongey437]

Intervals would be a great option to add
