Fun:
This was exactly what I was looking for to compliment my wii fitness regime! I had read about Gold's Gym and was really keen to try it, and disappointed when I first heard it was not available here. So delighted when it came out under this cover. I have read the other reviews, and am slightly baffled at the people who rate it really low for poor graphics etc. If you were getting this type of game for the graphics then I would be surprised, and frankly I can't see a problem with them. There are loads of different lengths and difficulties of warm ups and shape boxing programmes, each of which tells you how many calories you can expect to burn before you go in, so you can really tailor your workout for what you are hoping to achieve. The 'exercise' things (skipping, sawing logs etc) are less of a draw for me, as I am happy losing myself in the boxing, although there is one that has you ducking and dodging punches from a strange terminator type machine (!?), which if you do it everyday as part of your routine will bring great results for the old waistline. If you do an 8 min warm up and then 16-20 workout I would challenge you not to feel as if you have had a good workout and be sweating. A real plus is that you have to keep your legs moving so it is for the whole body, not just the arms. Beware the first time you use it as my arms and legs ached the next day!
I suspect that like all other exercise games for the wii you would eventually get tired of this if it was all you did. Personally I combine a 20-25 min work out on EA active, 30 mins on this, and 10 mins yoga on wii fit to get a really good all round work out, that IS bringing results (visible shape change within a week :-)

Fun:
I bought this to use alongside My Fitness Coach: Get in Shape because I always do the cardio workouts on it and I wanted to shake things up a bit to keep my motivation to exercise up. It's based on Gold's Gym Cardio Workout in America, but rebranded for release here.
I have to say, i'm very impressed. As opposed to Get in Shape, this one feels like a game rather than an interactive fitness DVD. There is an exercise section where you can do squats, skipping etc but the actual boxing lessons are far more fun (although try as i might, i can't get the skipping exercise to work for me!). You box in time with the instructions on screen and do the type of punch it says e.g. right hook, left jab etc. The music sounds like computer game music from the 80s even though a lot of the tracks are based on actual released tracks, they have been changed into what sounds a lot like midi files! Having said that they are easy to keep time with and do help motivate you and make it feel like you're playing a game.
Another big motivator is that after every exercise you earn gold. You can spend this gold on outfits from the shop. This might not work to motivate some, but being a completionist gamer i want to buy everything so it works for me!
At the beginning you create a little avatar. The game has a japanese cute feel and your avatar is no different. Surprisingly, you can make a cute person that does look a bit like you from the cartoon faces and hair! When you input your weight your little avatar does get fatter (but not like on Wii Fit where your belly pops out) instead your avatar gets bigger but remains in proportion, which is much better.
I've been using this game for three weeks now and my muscles still ache the day after playing it. I expected my arms to hurt but i was amazed at how it affected my back and legs and even my innner thighs (the difficult bit to tone up). The only area i'd say you might want to do extra exercise for is your abs, as i haven't noticed a difference there.
Overall, i didn't expect to get as good a workout as a i do from this game and for the money it's well worth it!

Fun:
ok, let's get the badpoints out of the way first: the graphics are basic - there really isn't any other way to put it - they're basic. And moving between the excercises could be quicker and given this is for the wii: slicker. There'you go those really are all the bad points. Now on to the good ones:
i've owned this cheep n cheerful software for 3 weeks and used it 5 days a week. In that period my 35" waisline has dropped to 31", my flabby chest and arm muscles have firmed and are taking on a better defined shape and my tum, as mentioned, is flattening out a treat. I've not changed my diet at all, just used this for at least 30 minutes per day.
If like me the thought of going to a gym or jogging around the cold wet streets on your average British summers evening does not motivate you, then I really recommend that you try this out - it's working wonders for me!
By the way, go easy for the first few days as your arms and shoulders are going to ache, ache, ache.

Good work out - keeps the wife quiet!!
This is great for workouts, easy to follow and enjoy - only point I would make it should allow you to set the levels, more so for first time users.
