Shadow Trainer turns any room into your corner. No gym, no gloves, no ring — 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 — "jab, jab, cross", "slip, hook" — 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. WHY SHADOW TRAINER • 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. • 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. • 15 minutes, no equipment: shadow boxing built for your living room. Start today, no setup. • Real fundamentals: learn jab, cross, hook, uppercut, slip and guard with a clean technique library. • Programs that build: Fundamentals, Conditioning, Intermediate, Advanced, Defense & Counters and Combo Ladder, day by day. • Streaks on your terms: you pick your training days, and rest days never break your streak. • Your daily poster: calories burned, punches thrown, streak kept, shareable in one tap. PREMIUM Free includes the Fundamentals program and the technique library. Premium adds 61 new combos with body shots, defense (roll, parry, block) and footwork; 5 programs, including Defense & Counters, where the coach calls the incoming punch and you slip and counter; 11 more technique guides; and Free Session: your own rounds, length, rest and callout pace. Annual plan with a 14-day 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. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Shadow Trainer PRO is an auto-renewing subscription: US$29.99 per year (with a 14-day free trial) or US$4.99 per week. Prices may vary by country.
