active: Personal Trainer (Wii) Reviews

As some of you are aware, I purchased this as a treat to myself with my amazon vouchers through Dooyoo- thanks to all that contributed 1.5p's! Ive had it a while now and must say that straight away you can feel this is more of a workout than the wii fit (although im yet to try the fit plus). The box comes complete with the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this as soon as it came out with the aim to do some exercise in the comfort of my own home and hopefully reap the benefits of going to the gym. I must say it had me hooked from the start with the different exercises but after a few days i was bored. Included with the game is a innovative leg strap and resistance band which are actually ...  Read the complete review

If you look back through reviews I have written you will appreciate that about 18 months ago I decided to get fitter and healthier and just over a year ago I bought myself Wii Fit. I enjoyed that when I first got it and to be fair it did set me on the road to exercising more and losing a bit of weight but after a time it gets boring and working ...  Read the complete review

The Wii Active is so good!!! I bought it as a replacement to going the gym, after a long day at work the last thing I wanted to do was to go to the gym, but the wii active gives me the chance to work out in the comfort of my own home, at my own time and pace. There are so many different exercises which you can pick and chose from on ...  Read the complete review

My partner has recently given birth and we were looking for a fitness tool that she can do at home rather than travel to her gym. Her aim was to loose the weight gained over 9 months in 9 weeks! EA Active is far more varied that the existing Wii Fit games (if games is the right word). A huge variety of workouts and physical sports simulations ...  Read the complete review

the ea active personal trainer is in my opinion a fantastic game/fitness workout for the wii. I have the wii fit and enjoyed the games on it but didnt really find them challenging so when i seen the personal trainer i thought i would give it a go. It comes with resistance band and leg strap for a nunchuck (not supplied) the first time i did it i ...  Read the complete review

I originally started using wii fit, but this is a lot more real fitness based. You can tailor it to your individual needs, cardio, toning or a mixture of both. Another good thing is that it uses the wii fit board so it's no longer shoved under the sofa. The exersices are really well put together and you can vary the duration and intensity of each ...  Read the complete review

I first saw this advertised on amazon as i was looking for a fitness workout and I already had wii fit but was not finding it challenging enough for me. So i had a look at this, it includes the resistance band and the leg strap but you must already have the wii controller and the nunchuck for it to work. It has varying workout levels but ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game to replace going to the gym and it is well worth every pound spent. You get to create a personalised character and you need to type in personal details like height, weight etc. There is a wide selection of exercise routines to choose from, or you can select to do an easy, medium or difficult 30 day challenge. You can also ...  Read the complete review

So here we have another Wii fitness game. But this time we have one that is not a game but as a proper fitness workout. So what sets this title apart from the rest of the so called fitness Wii titles. Well this title has a varied range of exercises for you to do and comes with an elastic band for resistance training. Once you ...  Read the complete review

Having been particularly pleased with my Wii Fit purchase I decided to buy the EA active personal trainer. In terms of functionality I thought that it really did offer something different and for that alone I thought it was well worth the £35 price tag. I think that the workout programms are effective and after a few weeks I did notice a ...  Read the complete review

Wii Active I have been toying with the idea of getting wii fit for a few months now and before I decided to buy I decided to read a few reviews. It was during this searching for reviews stage that I stumbled across the wii active. The reviews for the wii active where much more positive that then wii fit so I decide to opt for the wii ...  Read the complete review

As a bit of a workaholic who is afraid of my other half seeing me in gym gear, this seemed like the ideal thing for me. I have the wii fit board too which is compatable with this game. It is the same price as the normal console games but you get the resistance band, which doesnt look like much and feels like it will snap at any give ...  Read the complete review

I needed more challenge after wii fit. This was a good piece of software it is challenging it makes you work and the information you enter helps to calculate kcal burned which is an excellent motivator and it helps you to understand the excerises that will help you burn calories. The excerises are challenging and various so you cant get lazy. If ...  Read the complete review

I bought this product to get fit and try to lose some weight. I read many reviews online and some were pretty off putting but i decided i would buy it and see for myself. I am very pleased with it so far. You can choose the severity of your workout to suit your needs, i started off on the easiest setting, this included running, squats, lunges, ...  Read the complete review

I was extremely excited when Wii Fit was launched, and left a little disappointed that it didn't live up to the expectation of actually getting me fit. Active, in contrast, offers a completely different experience, and is the first 'game' I have purchased that has left me as worn out as a workout at the gym. The 30 day challenge is a ...  Read the complete review

The Wii active is a great product if you want something a little bit more intense that the wii fit. You do actually work up a sweat when you get involved with the 30 day challenge features. It can also be a little bit frustrating, the controllers have to be in certain positions for some of the exercise, so you lose the natural flow of movement. ...  Read the complete review
