About Surge HIIT: Interval Timer
HIIT shouldn't start with a fight against a confusing timer. Surge HIIT does the hard part for you: pick a workout, hit start, and move. Your phone — and your Apple Watch — call every interval so you never have to look down mid-burpee. Built for people who want to sweat, not fiddle. — WORKOUTS THAT ARE READY WHEN YOU ARE — Eight studio-quality HIIT workouts, beginner to advanced. No setup, no guesswork. Warm-up, work, rest, cooldown — all timed, all coached, all yours from the first tap. — BUILD YOUR OWN, EXACTLY YOUR WAY — Drag-and-drop the perfect routine in our custom builder. Set work and rest to the second, name your exercises, pick your colors. Tabata, EMOM, circuits, ladders — if you can imagine it, you can build it. Frankly, the builder is tremendous. — YOUR APPLE WATCH BECOMES A COACH — This is where Surge pulls ahead. Real-time heart rate. Active calories. Haptic taps on every interval change so you feel the switch without breaking stride. Your custom workouts sync straight to your wrist, and your Activity rings close automatically. Leave the phone on the bench. — SPOKEN CUES, EYES UP — Surge announces each interval out loud in a natural voice and ducks your music so you hear it. No squinting at a screen between rounds. — NINE THEMES WITH REAL CHARACTER — From cool Glacier blues to molten Ember, electric Voltage, and a neon Tron-inspired grid. Make the app yours. — 100% OFFLINE. ZERO ADS. ZERO NONSENSE — No internet required. No accounts. No ads interrupting your set. Ever. Just you and the work. — APPLE HEALTH — Every session saves to Apple Health — workouts, active calories and heart rate — so your progress lives where the rest of your fitness data does. — START FREE — Two built-in workouts and two custom workouts are free forever.

What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 1, 2026
Surge 1.3 is our biggest update yet — built around one idea: making it easier to show up. • The Apple Watch app is back. If you couldn't find Surge under Available Apps in the Watch app on your iPhone, it's there now — install it and leave the phone on the bench. • Home Screen, Lock Screen and watch face widgets show your week at a glance. Tap one to start your next workout. • A weekly goal of 3 sessions, with a "Next up" workout on Home — one tap to start. Streaks count in weeks, so rest days never break them. • Optional reminders at the time you usually train. Never on a day you've already worked out, and none once your weekly goal is done. • Preview any Premium workout before you unlock it: its shape, exercises, focus and real length. • Calorie estimates are fixed. Earlier versions counted only about a third of what you burned — new workouts are estimated correctly. • Workout lengths are now shown exactly as they run. • Stopped a workout early? The rounds you did are saved to your history. • Restore Purchases now tells you what it found. And if you already own Premium, Surge no longer offers it to you again. • New here? You'll be in your first workout in three taps. Thanks for training with Surge. Got feedback? We read every word.
