Press Release:
London, UK
RB100.Fitness has officially launched RB100 Timer, a new race timing and live leaderboard platform designed specifically for hybrid fitness competitions, gym-based race simulations, and functional training events.
Built by coaches and tested in real gym environments, RB100 Timer addresses one of the most persistent challenges in modern hybrid training: how to run race-style workouts and simulations with the clarity, structure, and energy of a real event — without complex hardware, athlete apps, or manual timing.
At its core, RB100 Timer enables athletes to scan in using RFID wristbands or QR codes at each stage of a race. Each scan automatically records split times, tracks progression, and updates a live central leaderboard in real time. The system is designed to run locally inside a gym using low-cost hardware, making it accessible to independent gyms as well as larger facilities.
“Hybrid racing has exploded, but most gyms are still timing events with clipboards and spreadsheets,” said Richard Branson, Founder of RB100.Fitness. “RB100 Timer was built to bring proper race-day structure into everyday training environments. It’s about making simulations feel like real races, not just hard workouts.”
Built for Real Gyms, Not Just Events
RB100 Timer has been designed with the practical realities of gym operations in mind. The platform supports multiple scanner stations feeding into a single leaderboard, allowing several athletes to race simultaneously without queues or bottlenecks. Athletes do not need to download an app or create an account; scanning in and racing is all that’s required.
The system supports a wide range of formats, including:
- HYROX-style simulations
- RB100 Engine races (Open, Pro, Elite divisions)
- DEKA-style zone formats
- In-house gym competitions and team relays
- Charity and corporate fitness events
By separating race logic from hardware, RB100 Timer can be adapted to different layouts, capacities, and race formats without changing how athletes interact with the system.
Introducing RB100 Engine
Alongside the platform launch, RB100.Fitness has introduced RB100 Engine, a flagship RB100-owned race format built around consistent distances, repeatable structure, and clear benchmarking. The format follows a simple run-station sequence and is designed to be scalable across Open, Pro, and Elite divisions without altering race flow.
RB100 Engine is intended to sit alongside established branded race simulations rather than replace them, giving gyms an original race format they can run, repeat, and own.
Designed to Scale With the Gym
RB100 Timer can operate entirely offline on a local network or be deployed in cloud-enabled setups for larger events and multi-gym operators. This flexibility allows gyms to start small and scale up without committing to expensive infrastructure or long-term contracts.
The product is now entering an early rollout phase, with selected gyms already using RB100 Timer for simulation days and in-house competitions.
