Music Boxing Training Machine Review: Cardio That Keeps You Coming Back

Tired of staring at the treadmill and dreading another boring cardio session? The Music Boxing Training Machine takes a different approach — it turns your workout into a rhythm-driven boxing game mounted right on your wall.

This wall-mounted music boxing machine features eight LED target pads, Bluetooth connectivity for streaming your own playlists, and nine speed levels paired with nine training modes. It ships with a pair of boxing gloves, a USB charging cable, and adhesive mounting strips.

I tested this across multiple sessions at home, running through different speeds and modes to see if it could hold my attention better than traditional cardio equipment. The workout ranged from light warm-ups at speed H01 to sweat-soaking rounds at H07 and above.

The short version? It delivered a legitimate cardio workout that kept me coming back. But the mounting adhesive and included accessories have some caveats worth covering.

What I Liked

This music boxing machine impressed me in several areas during my testing. Here are the highlights.

Smart Bluetooth Music Integration

Pairing my phone over Bluetooth took seconds. Once connected, I streamed playlists from Spotify and Apple Music directly through the machine. The HAU mode syncs the LED target pads to the rhythm of whatever song is playing, turning each round into a beat-driven boxing exercise.

The built-in speaker handles the audio well enough for a garage or spare room. For louder environments, connecting an external Bluetooth speaker worked fine alongside the machine.

Effective Cardio Workout

I expected a novelty toy. What I got was a legitimate sweat session. By speed H05, my heart rate was elevated and I was breathing hard. At H07 and above, I was drenched within 15 minutes.

In my experience, this kept me more engaged than a treadmill or Stairmaster. The unpredictability of which pad lights up next forces constant movement and keeps your mind occupied. One Reddit user put it well — the machine makes you “want to come back and do another round.”

9 Training Modes and Speeds

The speed settings run from H01 (gentle warm-up pace) through H09 (fast reaction challenge). On top of that, mode P01 randomizes the target sequence while modes P02 through P09 follow fixed patterns. This combination means you can tailor the workout to your fitness level and progress over time.

The smart display tracks hit count during each session, which adds a competitive element. I found myself trying to beat my previous score each time.

Easy Wall Mount Setup

No drilling required. The adhesive strips and Velcro pads mount the unit to any smooth wall surface in minutes. I set mine up in my garage and it held firm through multiple sessions.

The compact design takes up zero floor space, which makes it a strong fit for apartments and small home gym setups. You can also adjust the mounting height to accommodate both kids and adults.

What Needs Improvement

No product is without trade-offs, and this music boxing machine has a few areas worth knowing about.

Adhesive Mounting Limitations

The included adhesive strips work well on smooth, clean surfaces. On textured drywall or porous surfaces, the hold weakens over time — especially during harder punching sessions. Multiple Reddit users report the machine coming loose or falling off the wall entirely.

The fix is straightforward: replace the stock adhesive with heavy-duty 3M Command strips or similar products. That solved the problem in my setup, but it is an extra step and cost that should not be necessary out of the box.

Built-In Speaker Quality

The onboard speaker gets the job done at low to moderate volumes. Push it higher and the sound turns tinny, losing bass response. For music boxing where the beat drives your rhythm, that matters.

I ended up using my own Bluetooth speaker for better audio quality. The machine still tracks hits and lights up correctly without its built-in speaker handling the music. This works, but it adds another device to the setup.

Thin Included Boxing Gloves

The gloves that ship with this machine are lightweight and basic. They provide enough padding for casual tapping at lower speeds. If you plan to punch at full force on the higher speed settings, your knuckles will feel it.

Picking up a proper pair of boxing gloves or padded workout gloves is a worthwhile upgrade. The machine itself registers hits fine regardless of what you wear on your hands.

How It Compares

The music boxing machine market ranges from budget-friendly wall targets to premium connected fitness systems. Here is how this unit stacks up.

vs Liteboxer

Liteboxer is the high-end option at $1,695 plus a $30 monthly membership for guided workouts. It offers a freestanding design with professional-grade pads and curated workout classes.

This wall-mounted machine costs a fraction of that price — around $70 on Amazon with no subscription required. You lose the structured coaching and heavier build quality, but you keep the core music-synced boxing experience. For casual fitness rather than serious boxing training, the budget option delivers solid value.

vs Maitufit M4

The Maitufit M4 competes at a similar price point with added features like a Global Arena for competitive play and a larger 4,000mAh battery. Its built-in speaker reportedly sounds better than most alternatives in this category.

The trade-off is that the Maitufit app has reported glitches and slow song uploads. If app-driven social competition matters to you, the M4 is worth considering. For straightforward music boxing without app dependency, this machine keeps things simpler.

vs LOLBOX Music Boxing Machine

LOLBOX positions itself as an upgraded wall-mounted trainer with a similar feature set — Bluetooth, LED targets, and included gloves. Pricing sits close to this machine.

The differences come down to brand reputation and customer support. LOLBOX has a more established presence with dedicated marketing, while this machine is a more generic listing. Functionally, the core boxing experience is comparable between the two.

Final Verdict

The Music Boxing Training Machine turns a simple wall target into an engaging cardio workout that syncs boxing with music and LED lights. It held my attention far longer than a treadmill ever has.

I am giving it a 4.0 out of 5.

The adhesive mounting needs upgrading, the built-in speaker lacks punch at higher volumes, and the included gloves are too thin for hard hitters. These are solvable issues, though — better adhesive strips, an external speaker, and proper gloves add maybe $30 total.

Bottom line: If you want fun, music-driven cardio that takes up zero floor space and keeps you coming back, this machine is a smart buy at the price.
