Live a Healthier Lifestyle
My Fitness Coach begins by evaluating your current fitness level, and helping you set your fitness goal. Whether you strive for weight loss, core body strength, increased flexibility or something else, the Wii’s unique interactivity will get you there. A virtual personal trainer named Maya will be on hand to not only give you valuable advice to help you exercise right, but will provide pep talks to help keep you motivated every step of the way. There are even graphical charting displays that allow you to watch yourself making progress as you go.
Enjoy Your Exercise Experience
With My Fitness Coach you can customize your experience by choosing your own exercise environment, and picking your favorite type of workout music. There are eight different environments to choose from, and seven different types of music, such as Hip Hop, 80’s, Latin and Dance to name a few. There is even a Meditation Garden feature where you will be guided through stretching and yoga techniques to help keep you limber while you gain strength.

My Fitness Coach features almost 500 unique exercises to ensure that no two workouts will ever be quite the same. Whether you are in strength training for your upper body or lower body, or are just burning a few extra calories, by choosing your own workout calendar, length of program, and frequency of use you will achieve your goals at the pace that is right for you.

5 Stars My fitness Coach
Really works is easy to follow. You choose what you want to do and the duration of time to do it.
Avatar talks to you to keep you motivated. As you get into the work out you add new moves and new places to exercise. Great for someone who can not go to the gym.
1 Star Not for beginner
This game isn’t much better than watching an exercise DVD featuring a super healthy coach performing in front of you and expecting you to keep up while you have no idea what you are supposed to be doing. What’s the point? After three tries, I just became too discouraged to continue. Moreover, the game was just plain boring. As Wii Fit demonstrated, working out can be a fun game. There is no reason why working out can not be fun for trying to get off the couch potatoes like me. And believe me, I need a lot of motivation/fun to get my butt off the couch. If the game designers of the future are reading, save the population from dying of obesity by making something a lot more fun and easy to follow a long with. “Saving the population from obesity one game at a time.” When people are doing what they enjoy, they will continue. I will not be continuing on with My Fitness Coach.
5 Stars Good Exercise Workout
I got this game because a friend recommended it. She said to start out with only 15 minutes and she was right. For only a 15 minute workout (if so chosen), it is awesome. You really feel like you worked out in a gym or class. I don’t exercise. I hate it but this game makes it fun. I love the fact that each session is different and has different categories. And no two sessions are the same. I really recommend this game if you want to lose weight because within two weeks, I have lost inches and pounds.
1 Star Not for beginners – buy a DVD instead!
I was disappointed in this product. First off, if you are a beginner like me, many of the exercises may be too hard for you, and unlike a DVD, they offer no modifications. It’s not low-impact, and starts right off with jumping jacks. During the setup, you do use the Wii device to input your weight & measurements and choose a goal. But after that, for the actual training portion, there is really no interaction with the Wii – no reason for it to be a Wii program at all. In my opinion it is not as good as a regular workout DVD. It is much easier to pause a DVD, or replay a segment, than it is on the Wii. And a workout DVD often has 5-6 people, all doing various levels of the same exercises. There are several different environments you can choose to “workout” in, but so what? Every other workout DVD is set in Hawaii or on a beautiful beach somewhere. If you are a beginner or want a low-impact workout – this product is not for you. Save your money – or use it to buy several exercise DVDs.
