    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Interesting concept for a "game"

    Weaknesses:Does not really take place of "real" exercise

    Overall Evaluation: This is a fun way to get up off the couch and get a bit active. Though there is no way this should be mistaken for proper exercise. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the weight measures. Nice feature is that the game keeps track of your progress. Overall, it is a fun game.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Using new technology, fun choice of games, keeps track of weight and time spent

    Weaknesses:Requires you to weigh in every day, becomes repetitive,no calorie count

    Overall Evaluation: I absolutely love having Wii Fit. There are several different categories of exercise to choose from (my personal favorites are aerobics and balance). The variety allows me to play my favorites while my son can find things to play on his level. As you play, you start unlocking games from a variety of sections. When I pulled Wii Fit out at my last "party," every one was fighting to play it. It made for a hilarious night because there were people of all ages trying to hula hoop and trying to balance their weight on the balance games. This night convinced me that Wii Fit is more than a weight loss game; it's definitely a party game, too. I wish the game had a calorie counter (the games will tell you what level of calories you burnt - 1 through 4 stars, but will not tell you a number). I also wish they didn't require you to weigh in every day. I'd prefer if I weighed in once a week so I can get more accurate results. Weighing in once a day can be discouraging. Overall, I'm a fan of Wii Fit!!

    Duration of ownership: 65 Days

    Strengths: Fun, motivating, easy to use, allows me to set goals, engaging, effective for getting in shape.

    Weaknesses:I'm addicted to it, I need an expansion pack of additional exercises.

    Overall Evaluation: I received my Wii Fit 65 days ago and I'm still using it daily. Each day I do a combination of aerobic, strength and yoga exercises and reward myself with one or more of the balance games. When people ask me how long I work out on it, I tell them honestly that it's at least 30 minutes and I try to stop after that amount but I'm usually having so much fun, I can't stop. I HATE exercise. I have never gone to a gym other than to splash in the pool, I hate working out, and I was in pretty awful shape. I've always been a mom who loves video games though, so this is the perfect way for me to get in shape. And the results? Using the goal-setting and tracking part of the program, I can tell you I have been working out successfully 57 out of 65 days (Hey! I went on vacation!). I have attained my personal goal weight and my posture, stamina, energy level, and muscle tone have all improved significantly. I feel better on the days I use my Wii Fit and that has motivated me to keep playing/working on it. The only negative is that I want to hear they have come up with additional software to expand the exercise difficulty and choices. I can vary my workouts by changing up the order and selection of yoga and strength moves, but I'd like some more added in now that I've opened up everything. If you're wondering whether or not to get the Wii Fit, get it. I also bought it for my sister who's entire family is now using it. Her son is no longer playing shoot-'em up games with his friend but they're over there exercising and laughing. It will exceed your expectations.

    Strengths: It really works you out. My balance and flexability have already increased.

    Weaknesses:You can only have 8 registered users. It is also only 1 player.

    Overall Evaluation: I am truly impressed with this unit. I did not expect much but when I started to lose weight, I was hooked. The balance portion has made me aware of how I stand. Now my heels do not hurt at the end of the day.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: Fun games for entire family (4 and up -ok, 6 and up -best).Asian-style fitness routines for balance and strength.Future Wii games will support balance board.

    Weaknesses:Wii Fit does not allow "taking turns"; you can bypass by setting up a "shared" Mii just for fun with mini-games.Not really designed for small children (under 6.)

    Overall Evaluation: My girls are 4 and 5 and have fun with my wife and I on the Wii Fit, particularly the Ski Jump and Soccer Head mini-games. The Mii's (user avatars) are neat, but they hang their heads after a poor performance in a game...can be unsettling for small children when Mom and Dad's Mii's fair better and do a celebratory dance. Wii Fit may say you're "old" if you don't have good balance and don't be sensitive if you're overweight...it won't lie to you like the mirror in the morning!I'm not a gamer, but I'm addicted to my Wii! I also recommend WiiPlay and Endless Ocean.
