    This game is a legit great workout. Really fun. I had muay thai classes, I'm hitting heavy bags regularly, and this is perfect shadow boxing workout. Voice acting of some trainers could be better though.

    CAVEAT- I'm writing this during the COVID-19 lockdown.

    This games has some problems, it's a bit hokey, the voice acting is terrible, and the songs are only so so. That said it's a fantastic workout and excellent for quarantine since it involves very little space. I've found it very effective at helping me manage my stress and I think it is a good buy. I would not rate this 10 out of 10    CAVEAT- I'm writing this during the COVID-19 lockdown.

    Considering that Ring Fit Adventure isn't available in my country, I found Fitness Boxing to be a good replacement. Being able to spend some energy and throw some punches during quarantine feels great. To get rid of the voice acting problem people mention here, I changed the audio to Japanese.

    I've seen some complaints about picking up the motion of punches. It does happen but very rarely. The game requires you to have pretty good form though and there isn't much room for error. For both my partner and I after a couple of weeks it picked up our punches almost perfectly and we end up with scores of around 98%. The remaining 2% is definitely us not the game!

    Overall it's a fun workout and after 2 months of playing about 3 times a week it's still really fun. It's like dance dance Revolution with your fists, what's not to like!    … Expand

    Not as good as Wii Fit +, but still a good game for basic Fitness. Just don't ask more from it

    It's actually a nice game, it helps you keeping a healthy lifestyle, besides the music and poorly made scenarios, everything in this game seems to complete it's purpose, keeping everyone fit. I truly recommend it if you are willing to exercise on it everyday.

    With a few minor tweaks to the overall approach, Fitness Boxing could have been a more engaging way to fit some exercise in. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 74]

    Fitness Boxing is a better fit for me and while I may not get the body of my dreams using it, anything is better than what I'm working with now.

    Fitness Boxing is an interesting title compared to others of the same genre but, despite having really bright spots, it does not meet the expectations that the title itself generates in users.
