Heavy Bag Pro is an innovative app for punching bag and shadow boxing training, designed to cater to fighters at every level. We understand the challenge: training alone with a punching bag can be tough. Even the most seasoned fighters can run out of ideas and lose motivation. The hurdle for beginners starting to learn boxing techniques and combinations is even greater. Heavy Bag Pro is here to change that, offering a vital boost to your training routine. Heavy Bag Pro: Your Virtual Coach * For Home Warriors and Solo Fighters: Perfect for those days you're training solo at home or in the gym. No more dull, aimless sessions. * The Problem Solved: Say goodbye to the lack of motivation and ideas. Heavy Bag Pro is like having a coach in your pocket, providing the inspiration, ideas, and direction you need. * Professional Fighter Expertise: Each workout is meticulously crafted by professional fighters, ensuring logical, purposeful, and effective training sessions. * Focus on Training: With Heavy Bag Pro, you don't have to think about what's next. Just start the app and immerse yourself in practical training. * Learn and Grow: New to boxing or kickboxing? Heavy Bag Pro offers 1000+ combos and techniques to build your skills from the ground up. * Boost Advanced Training: Seasoned fighters, boost your workouts with diverse, challenging routines that keep your skills sharp and your mind engaged. * Diverse Training: There are workouts for learning combos, high-intensity training (HIIT), power punches, bodyweight-integrated sessions, and much more. Just choose what you like. * Extremely Efficient Boxing Workouts: Our goal is for you to sweat, enjoy, and learn simultaneously. Each Heavy Bag Pro workout is crafted to deliver these elements, ensuring a fulfilling and efficient training experience. * For All Combat Sports: Workouts are categorized into boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai. But they are also suitable for practitioners of MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Taekwondo, or any other type of martial arts. Crafted by Experts, Trusted by Fighters Every aspect of Heavy Bag Pro, from the app's design to each workout, has been carefully developed by professionals in boxing and martial arts. This isn't just an app; it's a culmination of expert knowledge and practical experience. Our team comprises seasoned fighters and trainers who understand what it takes to excel in combat sports. They've poured their insights into creating workouts that not only challenge and engage but also ensure that you're training the right way. With Heavy Bag Pro, you're not just following a set of exercises; you're embracing a training methodology that's been honed and validated by professionals. Whether it's refining your technique, building stamina, or learning new combos, you can trust that every element of your training has been crafted with precision and expertise. Is the app free? There are two versions: free and premium. The free version gives three full workouts (one in every discipline) and an interval round timer (without ads). If you want to unlock all the workouts and other features and exercises, you'll need to upgrade to premium. A monthly subscription costs less than a one-time visit to most gyms. Do I Need a Punching Bag? While a heavy bag is helpful, it's not absolutely necessary to be able to train hard with the app. You can use the app to do shadowboxing at home, then already know the combos you want to master on a boxing bag or during sparring when you hit the gym. Tip: For sweaty, challenging kickboxing training and great cardio, try shadowboxing with weights in your hands! If you're serious about getting a leg up on your competition, you need this boxing app. Not only does it up your motivation with fun, guided punching bag home workouts, but it also helps you master the combos that will outsmart your competition.

Simple Boxing Timer is a fast, no-friction round/rest interval timer built for boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and any circuit-style training that runs on rounds. No nested menus, no setup screens - adjust your rounds, round length, break length, and warning time right on the main screen, then start with one tap. Skip breaks entirely for back-to-back rounds, or dial in your rest exactly how you like it. Running workouts and every setting - sounds, voice announcements, themes - is completely free, with no ads. You can save up to 3 presets for free; an optional $0.99/year Premium subscription unlocks unlimited saved presets plus Past Workouts, your full history of completed sessions. Every workout you complete is logged automatically from day one, whether or not you've subscribed, so subscribing later reveals your entire history retroactively, not just what you log after subscribing. FEATURES - One-Tap Start - configure and go, no multi-screen setup. - Fully Custom Rounds - set rounds (1-20), round length, break length (or skip breaks entirely), and a warning cue up to half your round length. - End a Workout Early, Without Losing It - done after a few rounds? Save your progress as-is instead of starting over or losing it - only what you actually finished gets logged. - Save Up to 3 Presets Free, Unlimited with Premium - save your favorite configurations by name and reload them instantly. - Round Tags - label individual rounds ("Southpaw," "Just Kicks," or whatever you like) right when you save or edit a preset - see them on screen and hear them called out at the start of that round. - Past Workouts - every completed (or early-ended) workout is logged automatically, grouped by month and year, so you can relaunch or save any past session as a new preset. Viewing your history is part of an optional $0.99/year Premium subscription. - Voice Announcements - optional spoken round/break/warning callouts, so you never have to glance at your phone mid-round. - 8 Sound Options - pick your own bell, click, horn, or whistle sound for round starts, warnings, and workout completion. - Lock Screen & Dynamic Island - a live countdown Live Activity shows your current round and time remaining, even with the app closed. - Works Locked & Backgrounded - a background clock-tick ambience (volume adjustable - Low/Medium/High) plus a notification fallback mean your bell still rings if your phone locks or the app gets closed mid-workout. - Switch Audio Output Anytime - tap the AirPlay icon on the Workout or Active Workout screen to send round bells and announcements to your phone's speaker (or any other connected device) without digging through Settings. - Three Themes - Light, Dark, and a retro arcade-styled look. Simple Boxing Timer has no ads, ever. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tm4747.github.io/apps-legal/simple-boxing-timer/
