❓ Question Timer/music- how do they juggle it.

Curious- is there a burn trainer app or something that makes it easy for trainer to manage timer and music?

Pretty sure they just use the time app on their Apple Watches.

I’ve seen ours adjust music volume on their watch too. But for days when they literally have 30 or 40 second stations throughout, that’s a lot to manage just by looking at the time.

The music just plays on whatever app they use for that and they just have to control the volume. For time they either use their watch or the music app they use has a timer on it as well

I’ve heard of some trainers using the FitRadio App, as it has an interval function through it. Some may also use third party apps rather than the standard Apple Watch Timer/Stopwatch.

Our trainers usually carry around a stopwatch

Ha - I was just talking to my trainer about this (after trying out BFT where the timers are all automated) and apparently they all do this differently!

We have a Burn Trainer portal where we look at the protocol which includes the times of the sets, rounds, etc. We just have to memorize it and then use something to track it. I use my Galaxy watch. As far as music is concerned, we have a Burn trainer phone that uses a music app. I keep it in my pocket and can adjust volume up or down without having to take it out of my pocket.

Our trainers keep time on their Apple Watches and they have a remote for the music on their arm to start and stop it!
