    tracking issues and redundant in-game voice-overs aside, UFC Personal Trainer is the most interesting fitness game on the Kinnect i've played so far. playing through the many features unlocks videos on how how to stay fit in general.

    as a piece of software, i felt THQ was very lazy in polishing the game's smallest details... like the stretching part, why is there a timer? i always end up    tracking issues and redundant in-game voice-overs aside, UFC Personal Trainer is the most interesting fitness game on the Kinnect i've played so far. playing through the many features unlocks videos on how how to stay fit in general.

    as a piece of software, i felt THQ was very lazy in polishing the game's smallest details... like the stretching part, why is there a timer? i always end up stretching one more side than the other. tracking has always been the Kinnect's problem. unless you play naked or wear spandex in a 20x15 ft living room, the repetition counter will always screw you up the same way you'd never get a move right in Dance Central.

    the genius of this game is in its contents: workouts tailor-made by UFC trainers and done by fighters. that alone is worth buying this game if you're really serious in getting fit in your living room.    … Expand

    Will get you in shape, if for no other reason than frustration that it won't register your moves, causing you to repeat reps and literally work your ass off to complete the exercise in the time allotted. The rep counter resets when a rep isn't detected, so if you get to 90% completion and it doesn't detect a rep, back to zero you go. Good variety of exercises not seen in other games.

If you have an interest in possibly taking up MMA training at any point this game will get you acquainted with much of the terminology and techniques that you will be exposed to in the gym. I would say that this game is the Insanity of Kinect exercise games, so if you come into this with some fitness base and good hand/eye coordination you should be good. If you need a good fitness base and more hand holding I say start with The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout for Kinect. If you're looking to get in shape, whether it be to build strength and/or lose weight, and gyms and personal training are to expensive, you can't go wrong with UFC Personal Trainer. 7/10 +Does what it says it will do, help you get in shape

    Say what you will about the little things that make UFC Personal Trainer a little clunky to use, I used it and I got results. In the end, that's what counts.

    If you are looking for a serious fitnessgame to really train your condition, UFC comes close. If you have the proper motivation that is, because the game itself sure isn't going to motivate you.

    Testing workouts, let down by sluggish Kinect tracking and poor representation. [Oct 2011, p.93]
