    My best purchase yet for the Wii. The first evening it kept 4 of us absorbed and laughing for 3 hours solid. No, it is not the same as a full Gym workout, but it provides targets, motivation and fun and will - I suspect - lead many to exercise more in the real world, just to impress their Wii trainer.

    My entire family loved the game. I think its makes exercising in your living room much more interesting and fun. It doesnt beat having a real personal training and a gym membership, but definitely works up a sweat! Great workout

    I love my Wii Fit. I finally got some unresolved medical issues corrected with proper meds. Illness left me week and very obese. After the meds began to take effect, I started to walk my country road 30 minutes a day and lost 15 pounds. Two weeks ago my husband bought Wii Fit. I have since lost 5 additional pounds. He loves the traditional games and I love the fitness component. I I love my Wii Fit. I finally got some unresolved medical issues corrected with proper meds. Illness left me week and very obese.

He loves the traditional games and I love the fitness component. I continue to walk outside 30 minutes each morning and do aerobics on Wii Fit for 45 to 60 minutes per day. I thank everyone who had the courage to carry the wonderful idea of Wii Fit to fruition. Please know that I for one have no current desire to join a gym. The fact that you have taken the need for something like Wii Fit seriously, and found a niche for those of use who would and do take it seriously as well; leaves me with much appreciation for your kind efforts. Personally I am most appreciative of an accurate scale that tracks weight and BMI and has the 'make me sweat and lose weight' factor. Thank you, Nintendo. PS: It is now August, 2008 and I currently weigh in at 220 (down from 240 in April, 2008 and I am only 5' 2" tall). I feel that now I can attain my healthy BMI and have fun doing it! Oh, by the way I am 56 years old. I am very proud of the smiles on the faces of my husband and my doctor. Again, thank you!… Expand

    I am a mother of 2 little children. I can't get to a gym, I can't get out for a walk. But I can Wii fit, and my kids love to sit and watch. So we're all happy. I didn't think it possible to get fit by hula hooping, but I'm proof you can. It is awesome. People who don't like it must have had strangely high expectations.

    I've used Wii Fit every day for the last 16 weeks. I've used it for 3 hours a day for the last 8 weeks. I'm down 45 pounds ... only 60 pounds to go. I'm sure my results are atypical, but I'm documenting my "journey" on my blog, WiiFatMarathon.com

    I've lost pounds and continue to do so with the help of the Wii Fit. I still walk and exercise in addition to the Wii but it helps with keeping track of my weight loss goals.

    I was waiting for this game to be released just in order to buy a Wii console. This game alone (together with the bundled Wii Sports) is definitely worth spending money buying a Wii console. Ingenious & great fun!! Truly technology at it's best, when you consider what the benefits are, or will be, to your fitness, health, mental well-being, motivation, & self-esteem.

Those reviewers who have rated this very low obviously don't understand or appreciate these points, especially when paying for gym membership tends to be that "good intention" in the New Year but then just turns out to be a complete waste of money. So for the price of Wii Fit you can exercise & have fun both at the same time (in the privacy of your own home if you want). Congratulations to Nintendo!… Expand

    I've been using Wii Fit for 32 days now and have lost 10 lbs. 6 more lbs to lose and I get out of the overweight category on the graphs. Yeah!!! BTW I am a 53 year old woman. I am disabled and live way out in the country, not close to a gym. I am unable to walk or run on rough terrain so don't get a lot of excercise.

Though I know the exercises aren't as good as working out at a gym, they are a vast improvement over not getting any excercise. Once you unlock the more advanced games you get a better workout and can maintain a higher heartrate for 20 or 30 minutes on the free run and the steps. I also think the balance games and the Aerobics games are a lot of fun. Great for family competition. My sister and daughter both live close by and come to compete. It's fun to try to maintain your top 10 slots on the board and knock someone else off. As long as you are willing to use the Wii Fit every day or several times a week, you should see at least some improvement in your weight and feel good about yourself.… Expand

    This is the best thing released on the Wii, thus far. It's the only thing on the Wii that is really actually worth its money. People giving this a score lower than 6 are honestly just fat lazy people. This will keep you in-tone and feeling great. Worthy buy!

    People are too judgmental about this game. On the one hand it is a game, on the other it is a great fitness tool. to get things straight it cannot replace a gym.. however I have used it the past 2 days and my abs hurt. I am a fitness enthusiast work out weekly... cycle, weight train, and jog. However, this is a crazy work out given you do not cheat yourself.

    Don't buy this if you want a fun game to play. If you are looking for a comprehensive fitness and balance program which will improve your quality of life then this is for you. Like any fitness program, it will only be as effective as you make it. That said, Wii Fit is easy to use, fun and will have you shedding pounds and feeling good about yourself if you give it a chance.

    1. Hot girl trainer + Downward Facing Dog yoga pose = win 2. The hidden genius of Wii Fit lies in the feedback which it provides the user. As a veteran of martial arts and yoga, the balance information which it provides for each exercise is priceless.

Wii Fitness can help you to stay in fit and good health, but you cannot get a perfect body by playing video games. You can do yoga and balance exercises with Wii Fit, and you do not lose any weight by doing yoga and balace exercises. Losing weight is not why we have Wii Fit. We have Wii Fit becouse it's fun. It's still a game, but it can show us that doing some exercises can be fun, and that it's even more fun to do some exercises with your friends. Wii Fit is not a "home fitness equipment". If you are overweighted, then do not eat hamburgers. If you are looking for a new game that's fun to play with your friends, buy Wii Fit; it's really something we have never seen before.… Expand

    I absolutely love my Wii Fit since getting it in October. The reason I opted to purchase is I was looking at community yoga classes. For the price I could have paid for two 6-week sessions, I have a tool that has enhanced my life. I am active more and I watch what I eat. That makes it worth it retail price for me!

    Kids that stay all day long playing video games should try having some fun and doing some exercise at the same time. My sixteen-year old son, who is overweight and never works out, is now having a great time with Wii Fit. And the activities that make him really move his body, like stepping and running , are his favorite ones. This may not be the â

    "Wii Fit" mixes fun and exercise into one, for a great time to spend losing calories. Guaranteed worth your money, as there are several mini games that are fun and enjoyable, while you are losing weight along with it.

    I love the wii fit and you can't deny that it makes for a lot of faminly fun! Even my boyfriend who though it would be stupid enjoyed it very much. I believe that if you use it properly , you can lose weight. This is very motivational and fun at the same time.

    Wii Fit is both exercise equipment, video-trainer, and a game. For fitness purposes, the encouragement and progress tracking are the most beneficial elements of the game. I've already lost 7 pounds while owning my copy. I also hit the gym 3 days a week, but Wii Fit allows me to do non-sitting fairly aerobic games from my apartment. I highly recommend it.

    A great addition to a regular exercise programme. If you're a couch potato it may spur you on to actually get fit, or you may use it for a week and then sell it.

    Just git and love it. Lots of variety in the activities included. Controls are easy and there is lots of challenge to them as well. I only hope I can stick with it to see results. Great response from the balance board - picks up on every little jiggle.

    You need to know before paying out for (and therefore committing to) Wii Fit that it has to become part of your daily life for it to mean anything. And if you are willing to commit to it then Wii Fit is a loyal and multitalented trainer. [Feb 2008, p.136]
