Tips for Using Gym Mode

Use a Tablet

A tablet or iPad gives the best visibility. Prop it up on a bench or chair at center court.

Turn Up Volume

Make sure your device volume is up so you can hear the alert sound over gym noise.

Adjust On the Fly

Use the +1m / -1m buttons if a drill is running long or short. Pause and resume at any time.

Dark Mode in Bright Gyms

Dark mode with max brightness is easier to read than light mode in well-lit gyms.
