Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you are looking for an easy to use exercise program that's a bit more interesting than watching aerobics DVDs but doesn't have the gaming aspect (like Biggest Loser or Wii Fit Plus), this is your software. In-depth fitness evaluation determines a suggested routine, which you can change if you'd like (upper body, lower body, cardio, flexibility, etc.). Note: you do not use the Wii Fit board or Wii remote to record your motions. I found using these 2 devices with Biggest Loser was a real pain (Switch remote to right hand, switch remote to left hand, step on the board, step off, etc.). Seems like I was always moving equipment and not myself. As you progress, the program will increase difficulty to increase your fitness. Very easy to use after initial setup, just a few clicks to get into the routine and go. Exactly what I was looking for. PS I did not go with the Jenny McCarthy software since the camera wants a high contrast background and the exercises are primarily designed for women.

This is great for me because I work long hours and I am in an area where it rains a lot. Maya was great at initially accessing my physical abilities and then creating workouts just for me. I can't wait to write another review about my progress in the next 30 days! Great variety of programs to work out and many levels of difficulty. Compliments the Wii Fit program well with more arobic activity and full yoga routines built into one continuous workout. Compare to the Jullian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum, this is fantastic. No real use of controllers or balance board, but an excellent program to replace all the DVD's you may have to excercise with.

I've been working out since I got it. Maya motivates me. It incorporates my weights and stepper in the workout. My workout is personalized. It has a tutorial box you can click on and Maya will show you the moves step by step until u get it. You make your profile and can view your progress. After each 10th workout Maya gives you another fitness test to know your progress. I think its better than WII fit because you move around and do not need controllers. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! I have told all my friends about it.

So as many others have said, the "game" is absolutely amazing. I read all of the reviews last Saturday and decided to go to my local store and purchase it Sunday. I got home with the game and I immediately started it. You create a profile and they test your abilities and strengths to see where your stand point is at. From there your fitness coach, Maya, starts you out on whichever workout she feels you need to be doing whether it be cardio, upper/lower body strenth and so on. When I turn it on EVERYday now, I instantaneously get excited and I get really pumped. I do keep two bottles of water handy so when we take rests I don't have to run to the kitchen to grab them. I also do keep a small hand towel handy. (If you do cardio for 45 minutes you'll know why). I used to have a gym membership and it doesn't compare. I can workout in my own home and wear what i want and don't have to be offended. If I get behind or if I look silly only I will know about it. I love this game very much and would recommend it to 100 people if possible. It's definitly well spent money. Maya, the fitness coach, actually is really motivating I must say. She talks to you and encourages when you are doing your most extrenuous cycle of the workout. I also own the wii fit and do like it as well, but I won't be using it as much anymore. Hands down, I give this a 15 out of 10. Amazing, amazing, amazing....get it while it's on sale too!

A friend recommended this to me so I thought I would check it out for myself. You have the option to use hand weights, stability ball, heart rate monitor, and a step. You simply check off the items you have and what workout you would like to do and start. You can also have another member of your family join in as a group workout. I found it challenging, but not so challenging I couldn't do the workout. It will ask you a couple of times how you are doing and uses your response to modify your workout for next time. There was one exercise step that I found extremely hard to do so I modified it to fit my needs. I don't feel the calories burned calculation at the end is correct. My heart rate monitor said I had burned almost twice what it reported. Other than that it is a great workout and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great at home full workout.

I was reading reviews about 1 1/2 months ago debating which game to get this game My Fitness Coach or the Jillian Michaels Fitness Altimatum, the reviews for my fitness coach were real high compared to the other, I am glad I got this one I love it I work out almost everyday. If I go biking and don't work out that day I can still put that information in the program and it gives you credits, I quit smoking amonth ago and since I have been working out Faithfully and Hard I have lost 9 pounds and toned the areas I was starting to not like, I love the owrk outs you can have it make them harder as you go I work hard on them and sweat burn calories, My husband evan noticed a difference in my thighs and abs. Cant wait to try the new one coming out the end of the month!!

The set up of this game was really easy. I have worked out every day for the last week using this product. You will set up your profile and the trainer will find a workout that is best for you. During your workout the trainer will ask you for feedback. Is the workout too easy, hard, or just right. You will want to get a workout ball, weights, and something to step up onto. I really like the variety during the workout because it keeps it fun and you'll never get board.

I like the DVD because I don't need to buy the Wii exercise board. I can use this with equipment I already own like my step, weights, etc. It has a nice tutorial for exercises I haven't done before or need a review to make sure I am doing them correctly. The program has an easy set up for my profile and since I am 66 and not in the best cardio shape it adjusts to my fitness level each day as I progress. The price is very good and a real savings compared to joining a gym and I much prefer doing it at home and not having to go out somewhere.

I just bought this game thinking it used the Wii Fit Balance Board. I should have read better, as it doesn't. It's disappointing because you have to manually enter your weight, etc. I was worried during the first fitness test that it wouldn't be customizable enough (I thought the test was in the style of the whole game, but it's not), however once I started my first workout I fell in love. I've owned it for 2 days and I worked out both days. The game takes your mood in to account (are you excited about working out?) as well as your fitness level (are you struggling, or is it too easy?). You can also tell the game what equipment you already have- stability ball, step, weights, etc. and it will incorpotate them into the workout. These settings make for a very personal work out which changes each time. There are also set workout lengths from which to choose: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75. It gives the feeling of a workout DVD, only better because it changes and it's customized to a different area each day. During the session, there are built in rests periods which are very useful. Also, there is a nice graphic bar showing which activity you are doing and how much longer until the next exercise. The time left as well as the difficulty level are displayed at various times during the workout. The trainer is also motivating for a video game trainer. The only thing that I would like to change is how big the graphics are to click on. When you're trying to select if the workout was 'too hard', 'just right' or 'too easy' you want to make sure you're clicking the right one otherwise your next workout won't be what you wanted. All of the buttons in the game have the same problem. It's not terrible, just something to note. Overall, I love this game and I am recommending it to everyone I know.

I got a Wii and bought this game and have lost 6 lbs very quickly. I do this on top of walking and I am really seeing the results. It will make you work up a sweat and due to the fact that I want to unlock the opther elements of the game, it keeps me coming back and motivated. I was going to order a Wii Fit and am hestitant because I'm getting a great workout on this game for a third of the price.

First, it starts off by having you build your profile. Now, you need a resting heartrate so don't do any exercising before you start. Next, they have you log your current measurements for your arms, chest, waist, hips and thighs. (Though, you can skip this step.) This is great because you can track your results long term. So you may not be shedding pounds, but you could be bulking up muscle or shrinking down your waistline! Next, they test your current body strengths/weaknesses to see where you are at overall. They'll make you do 2 minutes of jumping jacks,(brutal!) some push-ups, some crunches, etc. Now this is important...do not ever lie to the system! It will only hurt your results. If you only did 2, fess up and say 2! :) At the end, they will give you your recommendations of what you should focus on (mine was upper-body strength) but you can choose your own path, if you'd like. What I like about this "game", shall we call it, is that it allows you to choose your own music type and background for your workouts. The more you "play" the more choices unlock. The trainer for this game is Maya. She's got a calming voice and I don't find her irritating one bit like some computer graphics. You set up your commitments for your week choosing from no workout, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. You can change them as need be. I chose to start with 15 minutes a couple times a week. They recommended a workout but also gave me the option of choosing my own. I figure, they knew best and so far, I've done the cardio and core workouts. While you are working out, the "moves" scroll across the bottom of the screen. This is great because you can see how long you are stuck doing that one and you know what to expect next. They also plan in actual rest periods. Throughout the workouts, they'll stop and ask you how you are doing. You have to choose from no sweat, working hard or can't keep up. Again...Don't Lie! They will alter your workouts, dialing them up or down, as needed. Don't be embarrassed to say it's too much! You can also log any other activities you do so you can keep track of all your daily workout times. Overall, I am loving this game. After I've completed each workout, I can actually FEEL the difference. I'd give it 5 stars so far. If you have the $20-$30, it's totally worth the money.

I really enjoy this game. It keeps me motivated to work out. I was looking for a game that still gave me the work out that I'm looking for but at a cheaper price than WII Fit and I have found it with this game. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good workout but do not want to pay 89.99 for a game.

I paid for a gym membership because I wanted the structure of exercise classes but I found it difficult to discipline myself to go regularly enough to be able to keep up with the classes and so eventually stopped going. I have purchased workout DVDs in the past but got board with the same routine after 1 or 2 workouts. This DVD is the answer for me. It is the next best thing to having a personal trainer come to your house everyday. This is as challenging as you want to make it. I often use hand weights in combination with the exercises even when the trainer does not. With this DVD, I have been able to commit to a workout every day and really sweat. If I am tired or lazy, I do at least 15 min. session and I feel better. So, no matter how lousy I feel, I am doing something every day and I feel great about it.

I have the My fitness coach and the Wii fit plus and while the games are fun on the wii fit plus I feel like I am getting a great workout with the My fitness coach. Doesn't require the balance board which is great. My fitness coach allows you to add equipment that you own into the routine, which is also a nice bonus. The workouts are challenging and I like the way it will allow you to adjust the workout to your abilities. It's a great buy for the price. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to workout seriously. I have been using it 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks and I can tell a difference in the way my clothes are fitting.

I can see now why this is getting such great reviews, because it deserves it. This is way better than any fitness dvd that I own, and I have many. I love the variety, it's seriously like having your own personal coach. I was slightly confused at first whether or not you even use the wii remote during your actual exercises. I founds that you only use it to set your workout session up, so I can see how some could easily cheat this game. I first tried this for 15 mins and my heart was racing, very exciting to me, since I was looking for a way to vary my workouts from the regular treadmill and exercise bike that I typically use in the winter months. This game is totally worth the $20 to $30 bucks. I am recommending this to all my friends and family who are exercise nerds like me.

We bought this game to help us get into shape. The initial set-up takes about 30 minutes per person and measures your body and fitness levels. You measure weight, chest, arms, hips, waist, legs and flexibility. It also does tests to see how fit you are, including squats, crunches, and push-ups. It will then determine a goal for you to work on (weight loss, flexibility, etc). At each workout, you choose what you want to do (cardio, yoga, upper or lower body, etc) and for how long. Our biggest disappointment is that is doesn't use any of the wii capabilities to ensure you're doing exercises right (i.e, Wii remote, Balance Board). It's basically just a video that is tailored to your workout for the day. It does stop and ask how you're doing and adjusts difficulty based on your answers. It also has an easy to use feature to input other workouts. After 10 total workouts (with the program and other workouts), it will re-evaluate your body to let you see progress. Overall, Very easy to use and a very good workout for the price of $19.

THIS IS A GREAT WORKOUT THAT WILL KICK UR BUTT IF U WANT IT TO!! WII FIT IS FUN BUT NOT A REALLY GOOD WORKOUT...BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED IF U WANT TO BE STRONGER, LOSE WEIGHT AND GET INTO GREAT SHAPE!!

I bought this game because the variety of the cardio workouts on the wii fit were not challenging enough. I love it. I have lost about 25 lbs. Maya works out at your level and she ask several times during the workout how things are going. I like this over work out videos because the activities are in a different order every time. One day Maya recommends cardio the next day an upper body workout. I really enjoy the variety. The only downside is the workouts it last a couple of minutes longer they it says (ie 15 minutes is actually 17 minutes). Maya has to find the beat often and that seems to be a waste of time in the game. Stupid complaint but gets on my nerves if I have a limited amount of time.

I have to say what a great wii workout, no it doesn't work with wii fit really it doesn't matter because Maya has a lot at her diposal for you to trim the lbs. and benefit greatly from her workouts tailored for you! the set up does take some time about 30-minutes...and honestly she will push you! once done with profile set up then you can choose what you want to workout from with some equipment you own.. Of course Maya has suggested workouts for you to achieve your goals. For a guy this can benefit you as well...great for men and women! its a must buy!! go out and get it...great workout tool! and yes you will sweat but boy do you feel good afterwords!

This program is wonderful! It's tailored to the individual with options in venue and music--the more you exercise the more options you unlock. There are also a options as to what kind of workout you want: yoga, cardio, etc. After your initial fitness test, you choose your fitness goals and it creates a workout program and schedule for you. The music isn't annoying and there's a bar at the bottom of the screen that moves in real time with each segment so you know how long your current segment has and what's coming next. This totally saves me a gym membership and I can do it on my time in the privacy of my own home.
