SledgeLab is a high-performance mental training app designed to build focus, resilience, and competitive composure under pressure. Unlike traditional mindfulness apps, SledgeLab trains you in the presence of distraction. Using controlled “sledging” (internal self-talk, external taunts, and environmental noise), you develop the ability to stay locked in when it matters most.

Shadow is the round timer for boxing, Muay Thai and kickboxing, built for one rule: once your wraps are on, you don't touch your phone. A COACH IN YOUR CORNER Six coaches, each with their own voice, call your rounds out loud: "one-two, slip, two", "teep, one-two, body kick". Two coaches per sport: old-school boxing, power and defense, Muay Thai pads and clinch, fast kicks, Dutch-style kickboxing, cardio kickbox. Every coach has their own guided sessions, with a focus for each round, a tip during the rests and a word at the end. Combos are drawn at random, so no two rounds sound the same. VIRTUAL MITTS Put your phone at head height and step back. Like a pad holder in front of you, two mitts pop up for each punch the coach calls: flat for the jab and the cross, on their side for the hooks, facing down for the uppercuts, low for the body. A mitt flies at you: slip. One sweeps across: roll under it. SHADOWBOXING DRILLS Split a round into blocks and pick what the coach calls in each one: footwork only (shuffles, pivots, slips and rolls), lead hand only, everything, or switch stance. The ready-made Shadowboxing timer does exactly that: one minute of feet, one minute of lead hand, one minute of everything. EVERY MOVE, EXPLAINED The Moves tab shows every move the coaches call, from the jab to the switch kick, with a photo of a coach doing it and how to do it in a few short steps. A TIMER YOU CAN READ FROM ACROSS THE GYM - Giant digits and one full color per phase, in portrait or landscape - Rounds, round length, rest and warm-up, set in seconds - Named blocks inside a round: 20 s explosive, 10 s power - A last-10-seconds warning and a countdown before the next round - 34 sounds: ring bell, gong, air horn… and a meme pack - Ready-made timers: Boxing, Pro 12 rounds, Muay Thai, MMA, Cardio box, Shadowboxing, HIIT bag HANDS-FREE Say "pause", "go" or "skip" and the timer obeys. Lock your screen and drop your phone in your bag: the rounds keep turning and the bell keeps ringing.
