How to update the rest timer in GMLYFT

Learn how to update the rest timer in the GMLYFT fitness app so you can control your recovery time between sets.

Set a default rest interval for your sessions, then make a one-time adjustment when a particular exercise needs more or less recovery.

Change the default rest timer

  1. Open Settings and tap Workout.
  2. In the Recovery section, use -5s or +5s, or choose the 45s, 60s, or 90s preset.
  3. Turn Full Screen Rest on when you want a dedicated timer screen after each logged set.
Set the default recovery time for new sessions.

The default is used when new sessions begin, so your workout starts with the recovery time you prefer.

Adjust rest during a workout

  1. Open an exercise in an active workout.
  2. Tap the Rest Timer button on the exercise card.
  3. Change the seconds for the current session.
  4. Use Apply to all exercises in this session when the same rest interval should be used throughout the workout.
Adjust the rest timer while a workout is active.

Use shorter rest for smaller accessory movements or longer rest when you need more recovery for heavy work.
