Shadow Trainer turns any room into your corner. No gym, no gloves, no ring โ€” just you, your phone, and a coach that calls the punches out loud. Put in your earbuds, pick a round, and go. Shadow Trainer calls out real boxing combos โ€” "jab, jab, cross", "slip, hook" โ€” and you throw them. Timed rounds like the gym, a bell between each one, and a poster at the end with your calories, punches and streak. NEW: 4-WEEK PROGRAMS โ€ข From Zero to 3 Rounds (beginner, 3 sessions a week): never boxed? Start with two 90-second rounds and finish week 4 with three full 3-minute rounds, the length of an amateur fight. โ€ข Cardio Boxing (intermediate, 4 sessions a week): boxing to sweat, with short rests, body shots and a burnout that grows every week. Every session has a date. Open the app and see what's on today, your week at a glance and how many sessions you have done. Missed one? The plan tells you and lets you catch up. Turn on a reminder for your training days, never more than one a day. The first session of each program is free. WHY SHADOW TRAINER โ€ข See the punch, then throw it: a hand-drawn boxer executes every move on screen, so you can learn even if you have never boxed. โ€ข A coach that talks: combos called out loud in your language, so you keep your eyes up and your hands moving, never staring at the screen. โ€ข 15 minutes, no equipment: shadow boxing built for your living room. Start today, no setup. โ€ข Real fundamentals: learn jab, cross, hook, uppercut, slip and guard with a clean technique library. โ€ข More programs: Fundamentals, Conditioning, Intermediate, Advanced, Defense & Counters and Combo Ladder, day by day. โ€ข Streaks on your terms: you pick your training days, and rest days never break your streak. โ€ข Your daily poster: calories burned, punches thrown, streak kept, shareable in one tap. PREMIUM Your first workout is free. Premium unlocks the full Fundamentals program and the technique library; every session of the 4-week programs; 61 new combos with body shots, defense (roll, parry, block) and footwork; 5 more programs, including Defense & Counters, where the coach calls the incoming punch and you slip and counter; 11 more technique guides; and Custom Session: your own rounds, length, rest and callout pace. The annual plan includes a free trial. Boxing is the best cardio there is. Shadow Trainer puts a coach in your corner anywhere. Shadow Trainer is a fitness app, not a medical or professional training service. Train within your limits and consult a health professional before starting.
