Rest between sets

How long to rest, where to change it and why the timer sometimes carries on by itself.

Updated 28 September 2026

When you finish a set, the countdown starts. The banner at the top shows how much is left and vibrates when it ends, even with your phone locked.

Where to change it

  • In the session, by tapping the rest chip: it adjusts that set and the ones after it.
  • In Settings, the general rest for the whole app.
  • On an exercise's page, if that one needs more time than the others.

The order matters: what you set on the exercise wins over the routine, and the routine wins over the general one.


Why it does not always sound

If you said no to notifications, the alert at the end does not arrive with the app closed. The countdown keeps running anyway and you will find it when you come back.
