What's great about it: The balance board What's not so great: Lack of veriety
"I finally got a Wii Fit for Christmas. It's great to play alone as well as with friends. Which brings me to my first negative. I wish you could switch more easily between users- it's not difficult, but it would be nice to take turns on the same exercise without going back to the menu.
Wii Fit will measure how long you've been working and give you new stuff as you build workout 'credits'. I like that to a point because I love finding new stuff. However, I think it gives you too much credit. As in, for the 3 minute hoola hoop, it gives you 4 minutes. I'm not sure if it rounds the time, but it seems off.
As a final negative, I feel as though they could use more exercises. I'm not bored yet, but I worry I might be eventually.
As for the positives, there are many. First, it's fun. It keeps me moving and motivated. Most of the balance and aerobics make you really move.
My favorite parts of the game are it's yoga and strength exercises. Wii Fit measures your balance and weight to a point I feel is sufficient. When you lunge, it registers if you're putting the right amount of weight on each foot.
Finally, I do enjoy this game and recomend it to anyone looking for either a better version of wii sports and/or a fun way to challenge yourself."

What's great about it: Working Out While Having Fun What's not so great: Nothing
"I literally love this game! I purchased the Wii Fit on the first release date. Was suprised to see people lined up outside the store for one. I was lucky number 3 by chance (thinking the store opened earlier than it did)! This game really does work if you stick to it. I noticed changes in about 2 1/2 weeks. The Yoga is true Yoga and the strength training really is plus. The step aerobics will have you trying over and over again until you master it. I like being able to unlock more activities and reps. as you progress. The board is sturdy enough for me wish it came with a storage case for the price. But overall it is worth every penny and the kids will love it too"

What's great about it: You are working out and don't even mean to! What's not so great: Nothing yet!
"This is such a great and innovative idea! If you are competitive in any way... that alone will push you to do better and more! I work out and don't even notice that part of it! It's so much fun to play all these games and to work on your personal health goals! It tracks your weight and BMI, which is great! I can't say enough good things about this! The work outs and games that come with this item are fun! I can't wait to get more games to go with it! I especially like the stepping games... I'm sure I'll love the dancing ones! So much fun!"

What's great about it: Very easy to set up. It will give you a good work out if you are a beginner like our family is! What's not so great: I wish it had come with a jelly sleeve.
"This is one of the most fun games our family has found yet. No one likes to give up their turn once they get started! It is a great workout for beginners like our family is. It does get a bit more intense as you go up in levels!!! Cant wait to get more games that are compatible!"

"This is a good purchase for the entire family. Our kids even like a lot of the balance and aerobic games. My wife likes the yoga poses and how it keeps up with your daily body tests. A lot of fun overall. If I understand correctly the balance board is also used in some other games too, making this purchase even more handy."

"Wii fit challenges you and makes you work hard. There is a HUGE variety of games split into sections. There are aerobics, yoga and others, too. I would recommend this to a friend because Wii Fit is a great way to work out, espiacially if the weather is bad or you have no other way to workout. I simply love it!"

What's great about it: Easy to use and a great workout! What's not so great: Controller sometimes doesn't keep up with the player if you're going too fast.
"Awesome product and makes the regular Wii Sports look like a joke. Every 10 minutes of play earns you another free yoga pose, strength training exercise, etc. Every 1 hour of play for the first 3 hours earns you a new free game so it's majorly incentive based. I work out daily and I am also active duty military. I honestly thought this Wii fit would be a joke in terms of getting someone fit. I was wrong!!!!! It takes your weight, height, and BMI and allows you to set fitness goals (losing/gaining X amount of weight, by X amount of time). As you get good as certain games, it then opens the "advanced" and then "expert" versions of the game so you are constantly challenged just about the time you think you are good at the beginning level. The beginning levels take some practice, but they can be passed, then the "advanced" and "expert" levels open once you pass those levels. Very fun game and it only gets old after you've been playing it for a few hours. I was winded on the "super hula hoop" and a few others. Great for anyone honestly to get in good shape. A few muscles you do not normally use in a regular gym work out will be sore, but in a good way. The Wii showed me how much I was favoring one side over another on the balance games and the yoga (which I had never done before) helped me loosen up the side I was favoring. As a result, my run time (I'm a competitive runner) improved slightly because I could open my stride more due to my hips and back being loosened. I stretch before and after every workout and had no idea that was tense in a few areas that I do not use in regular cross training and the Wii found them by telling me how much I was struggling on my left side with balance then recommending yoga poses to stretch those muscles out. Unreal!!!! Improves posture and balance. Those who said the Wii wasn't fun on the ratings must've not been playing it with a group of people/kids or must have not been remotely good at any beginner level game and just gave up because I was with a group of out of shape adults ages 32-71 (men and women) over the holidays and each of them had a blast on the Wii Fit!!! They each found a game that they individually were awesome at to where no one else of any other age could hold a torch to them. It was cool to see the 71 year old stomp everyone younger on the "ski jump", the 67 yr old bowl a 195, the 32 year old get the fishing game with the penguin, the 46 yr old get the balance ball game expert, etc. The 41 yr old had done yoga for 5 years and thought the yoga would be a joke. The Wii showed her that she had been doing the poses incorrectly and also favoring one side. Once she corrected herself, she said that she "felt it" and had never gotten results from those poses in the past and was really impressed by the Wii. The 38 yr old was really buff and in good shape and said that the push ups, jackknife crunches, etc in the strength training were no joke. You have to keep up with the whistling personal trainer on the Wii so you have to do the exercises slow and can really feel the burn. Your score is based on if you can keep pace with the trainer and not miss a whistle for max score. So I can tell you that any age and any level of fitness will enjoy it. Great indoor activity during the cold months or if your workout has become stagnant at the gym and you want to mix it up. Over Thanksgiving, I saw what a great family game it was for kids and adults to enjoy. Grandma can challenge the grandchild on 2 player and both will enjoy it equally and give each other a run for their money. Cool game and well worth the money!!!! Your fitness will improve no matter what your level!!!! Whoever created this game to help kids and adults get off the couch, interact, get in shape, and have fun is a genius! A must for your Wii and a no brainer buy at the price. Never seen anything like it after owning literally every system that has come out since Atari."

"I enjoyed this so much. It was easy to set up and so much fun to play. I thought there is NO way you can actually get a workout with this, but five days in a row and my body can feel it and I love it. I like video games and I think that Nintendo comes up with some of the best family type games! It is great for adult, fun for kids to play, yet can be a little trickey at first for the kids. If you like the Wii you will enjoy this."
