A boxing fitness app for PC VR headsets with a motion-captured coach, 23 moves, generated long-term training plans and music-timed scoring.
Boxing Coach is an aerobic boxing app for fitness and health from Yiku Studio. A virtual coach demonstrates each move and talks you through the session while music sets the pace. It was first listed on SideQuest in October 2020.
What you can do
The app includes 23 boxing moves and 54 combinations of actions. It can build a long-term daily plan around your goal (losing weight, building strength or staying healthy) along with how long and how hard you want to train, and the difficulty rises gradually as the weeks go by.
- Coach movements captured from real professional coaches, with voiced instruction throughout
- Single targeted sessions for areas such as the upper arms, chest, waist, hips, calves or the whole body
- Background music you need to keep time with, plus a score after every session
- Charts of your data, including estimated calories burned, exercise count, body age, weight and BMI
The structured plan is the main draw: instead of picking songs, you set a goal and let the app decide what each day's workout looks like. The targeted sessions give you extra options outside that plan.
