Free gym buddy

Your workout.
A clock that pushes back.

Build one exercise or a giant set. Choose the time, rest, reps, and weight for every movement. PaceMotive calls the set, keeps the rest moving, and remembers what you actually lifted on this phone.

Quick static guide

Four steps. Then lift.

No tutorial video to sit through. Read this once and the clock will take it from there.

    Pick a workout or build yours

    Start with Dumbbell A, B, C, or the tested Chest + Back plan—or add as many exercises as your workout needs.

    Set the pace for each exercise

    Choose target reps, set time, and rest time. A planned starting weight is optional.

  3. 3
    Open the clock ready to go

    Starting any free workout opens set one ready. Enter your weight if needed, then press Begin workout.

  4. 4
    Lift, log, and follow the call

    When work ends, rest starts automatically. The weight you log is remembered on this phone for next time.

Four free dumbbell workouts

Pick one and train.

Each workout has three rounds and timed sets. A, B, and C keep their quicker transitions; Chest + Back gives you a full 60-second rest between exercises and 90 seconds between rounds.

More than a rest clock

It should feel like somebody is running the session with you.

Build the session

Make the clock fit the workout.

No account. Save up to five workouts on this device. Results stay in this browser. A plan link includes planned exercises, times, reps, and starting weights—but never your completed session.

Weights: leave 0 if you do not know it yet, then enter what you actually use in the live set logger. This phone can fill the last logged weight next time.

Exercise list

One movement or a full giant set

01

The workout loop

Work, log, rest, get called back in.

The work clock counts down from the time you selected. Tap Set done if you finish early. Rest starts immediately, so you can enter or correct the weight and reps without losing track of recovery. PaceMotive then calls the next exercise and repeats the complete list for every set.

02

Training memory

Your results belong in the free timer.

Weight and rep logging are part of running a useful gym session. Free saves up to five workouts in this browser, and previous weights can help fill the next workout. Basic Pro Early Access keeps up to 25 cloud workouts, cross-device access, complete workout history and export together.

03

Private by design

Plans share. Results do not.

Copy plan link deliberately includes the exercises, target reps, set and rest times, starting weights, and set count. It does not include completed weights, completed reps, or session history.

04

Train responsibly

The clock cannot judge the lift.

You or your coach remain responsible for exercise selection, load, technique, equipment, space, supervision, and when to stop. A countdown and a voice cue are prompts, not personalized coaching. Read the PaceMotive fitness disclaimer.

Useful before the first set

Superset timer questions, answered.

Gym Buddy combines the clock and the training log so you can spend less of the workout switching screens.

Can each exercise use a different work and rest time?

Yes. Every exercise gets its own target reps, set time, rest time, and optional starting weight. PaceMotive follows the full list, then repeats it for the number of sets you chose.

Can I log weight and reps while the rest timer is running?

Yes. Finish the set, start the rest clock, and enter what you actually lifted without leaving the workout. The next exercise stays visible while you log.

What does the free version remember?

Free saves up to five workouts and recent lifting results in this browser on this device. Basic Pro Early Access adds up to 25 cloud workouts, cross-device access, and completed workout history.

Does Gym Buddy choose exercises or weights for me?

No. You pick the movements, load, reps, and timing that fit your plan. The timer runs that plan; it does not assess technique, readiness, or whether a lift is appropriate for you.
