Since then, we have generated more than 50 million installations across all platforms and count more than 2 million active users globally. Our apps have been in the top charts numerous times! Since the first day we released the apps, we started receiving requests to create an app where you could follow a trainer and do a heavy bag workout or just do a shadow workout. After thousands of requests, here it is finally! The Spartan Punching audio-guided trainer! This application is a merger of experience and technology. It’s the most unique tool you will be able to find, and it’s the most complete tool out there. We have spent more than 2 years developing this application and testing it out. It was built alongside professionals. We took the experience from MMA Professional Fighter Ahmed Vila, and we have tested the app and merged his knowledge into it.

With the Spartan Punching trainer, you will be able to start off slower. You can choose a 3 Round workout per 2 minutes, where the app will warm you up in the first rounds, and it will slowly increase the intensity. It’s just enough so that you are able to do the second workout. Another case might be that you are an amateur or professional. You can choose a 12 round workout per 3 minutes for Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, or MMA. Then you can experience something different, expand your techniques span, and follow a good workout focused on your cardio. You don’t have to think; just follow the orders. It’s the same as if you had a trainer there next to you who can work with you 1 on 1. This application is not built for a newbie.

Simple, minimal, shadowboxing app. Put in your headphones. Press Start. Box. Audio cues will tell you which move to perform (e.g. cross, hook, slip). Sometimes moves will be played in your left or right ear. Perform the move on that side. For example, "hook" in your left ear means left hook. "Slip" in your right ear means slip right.
