Interval training is now offered right from the iPhone, a new app has hit the app store that makes it possible. The innovative app dubbed Interval Trainer GO (ITGO) is designed by Appnoose Ltd UK.
The interval signaling application presents advanced user controlled signaling in the form of vibration, sound and visual alerts while playing user-defined fast/slow interval song playlists. Apart from offering voice, beep or custom prompts as well as double vibration on the iPhone, the app also features dual music playlists for fast and slow intervals. The ITGO incorporates concentric dial timers and are inclusive of separate interval timers and session timer.
“I wanted to design an interval trainer that would provide the most beautiful training experience possible on the iPhone. Everything about Apple and the iPhone is quality and I think that my team and I have carried that forward with our design and have produced a piece of software worthy of the being on the most exciting mobile platform available today,” comments Appnoose founder OD Hunte.
The app consists of three main screens, namely timer, settings and audio screens. At the onset, users can select their session workout time, fast interval duration and slow/fast interval ratio. They can also switch vibration alerts on or off on this page. Users can then move to the audio page and select music from their iPod library. The audio page facilitates users to select audio prompts, playlist play mode and volume settings for the prompts and music.
Later, iPhone users can switch to the Timer screen and initiate their workout by selecting a warm up and cool down length from zero to three minutes. The timer counts down the intervals in circular segments and displays individual numerical timers for fast and slow intervals and total session duration. It features the currently playing song and offers double vibration alerts at each interval change. The playlists can be set to shuffle, repeat or play in order.
The Interval Trainer Go app is made available in the Apple App Store.
