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. NEW: 4-WEEK PROGRAMS • 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. • 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 • 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. • More programs: 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 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.

Most timers beep. Timerox talks. A boxing and BJJ round timer with a coach in your ear. It counts you in, calls the work, holds the pace, and in Drills mode it calls your combos out loud so you can shadowbox or hit the bag without breaking rhythm to look at the screen. DRILLS: A COACH CALLS THE COMBOS Training alone is hard because you have to invent the next combination while you are tired. Timerox does that part. A voice calls the combinations while the round runs, so you just move: • Boxing: jab, cross, hook, uppercut, slips and rolls • Kickboxing: punches plus leg kicks • Muay Thai: the full arsenal, punches, elbows, knees, teeps and roundhouse kicks • Upper Body and Lower Body conditioning drills Dozens of combos per discipline, in English, French and Spanish. The closest thing to a coach holding pads. A ROUND TIMER FOR EVERY MARTIAL ART Boxing rounds, Muay Thai rounds, BJJ rolls, MMA and kickboxing sparring. Set the work, the rest and the number of rounds once and the timer runs the session. Presets are ready to go, including Boxing Rounds and Jiu-Jitsu Rolls. CHOOSE YOUR COACH Pick who is in your corner today. Every voice is a different personality: • BJJ Coach: intense Brazilian energy, pure effort • Caring Coach: warm and grounded, calm support without the yelling • Hardcore: a drill sergeant, no excuses • Robot: a cold, precise sci-fi training AI • Quiet Strength: stoic and steady, presence over volume • Silent: just the timer, when you want one You choose per workout. Every voice speaks English, French and Spanish, and the whole app is translated to match. HIIT, TABATA AND INTERVALS TOO Not a fighter? Timerox is also a precise HIIT, Tabata and interval timer for cardio, strength, EMOM and mobility. Build any structure: prep, work, rest, cycles, sets and cooldown. Presets include HIIT 30/30, Classic Tabata, EMOM 10, 5 × 5 Sets and Mobility Flow. Quick Timer is a one-tap countdown for when you just need a clock. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR • The screen stays awake for the whole workout, so a phone propped against the wall stays readable from across the room • A big, high-contrast countdown you can read mid-set, out of breath • Lock the screen during a round so a bumped phone does not skip your timer • Your music keeps playing underneath the cues • Sound and haptic cues on every phase change, both optional YOUR LIBRARY AND HISTORY Organize workouts into categories with favorites pinned to the top, and share your own as a .timerox file over Messages, Mail or Files. A quiet history dashboard tracks your streak, your week and your total training time. FREE Free, with one ad after every second completed workout. A one-time purchase removes ads and supports development. No subscription and no locked features: every voice, every drill and all of your history are free either way.
