Guided heavy-bag workouts with audio coaching

By Boxing Coach · Updated 31 October 2026

Boxing Coach calls punch combinations, movement, defense, and round timing for solo heavy-bag workouts. Put your phone nearby and follow the audio instead of checking a screen between combinations.

How is it different from a boxing timer?

A round timer tells you when to work and recover. Guided coaching also supplies combinations during the round. Boxing Coach offers both: audio-guided workouts when you want prompts, and a simple timer when you want to call your own combinations.

The app does not track bag impacts, measure punch power, or verify that you completed a punch. Its punch totals count coaching calls issued during the session.

Set up a bag session

1. Prepare your training space. Use a suitable bag and boxing equipment, with enough room around the bag to move safely.
2. Select heavy-bag mode. In the training setup, choose the mode that matches your equipment.
3. Choose your level and timing. Basic is the starting coaching level. Set round length, recovery, and total rounds to suit your experience and available time.
4. Check the audio. Keep your phone somewhere secure where you can hear the calls. Start the session and follow the round and recovery cues.

Preview a coach-built workout

Open the Workouts tab if you prefer a planned session. You can browse by playlist, level, or duration and preview the rounds and combinations before starting. Check the selected workout’s equipment requirements and access label.

Jab Builder in Learn to Punch is a nine-minute workout with three coached rounds focused on the jab. The preview shows the combination blocks so you know what is coming before the bell.

Read the combinations before you hear them

The app uses lead and rear punch names for orthodox and southpaw stances. In its numbering system, 1–2 means jab–cross and 1–2–3 means jab–cross–lead hook. See the full punch number reference if those calls are unfamiliar.

Keep the session within your ability

Audio prompts provide a workout structure, but they cannot assess your technique or decide whether your equipment and training load are appropriate. Ask a qualified boxing coach for help with bag technique and equipment. You can choose shorter rounds or longer recovery when setting up the session.

If you do not have a bag, use shadowboxing mode to practise without striking a target. Boxing Coach is available on iPhone and Android, with free coaching and optional Premium content.
