Some basic stats over the application first: The groundbreaking application that GymNext has released that allows you to control the FlexTimer from your phone. This has nothing to do with the functionality of the product, just my personal preference. I don’t know about everyone else, but the first thing I do when I receive a product with a sticker, is I take it off. In my mind, you come out with this awesome product that, especially in this case is going to be in many gyms across the world, and rather than putting a permanent brand on the product, you slap a sticker on. I’ve spoke on this in other reviews such as the Ethikon Odysseus Bar Review, but I hate when companies brand their products with stickers. It works great, and seems to be made of good construction for something that just hangs on a wall. In all honesty, I really can’t see anything wrong with the timer itself. The LED’s are very clear and bright and because the timer is so large, you can display any sort of time duration and amount of rounds that you would like. You can clearly see it from anywhere in a gym, and if you put it in a garage gym like I have, you can see it from the neighbor’s yard (this is helpful when you do dumbbell snatches in other people’s yards so you don’t mess up your own grass, something I don’t recommend.) The physical dimensions of the timer is 6″ tall x 22″ wide. Most timers don’t exceed 85 db, so if you have a large gym, this is going to help. It features a 4″ LED display and a 95 db buzzer which is pretty loud. In reality, it isn’t a whole lot different from other high end timers you find in gyms across the world. Speaking on the timer itself, it seems to be well built. The first one is going to go over the timer itself, and then I’m going to delve into the application. I’m going to review the GymNext Flex Timer in two separate parts. Say goodbye to your broken and lost remotes, and say hello to the future.
