Great game! Kids and I both love it!

This is a really fun way that can really work out your arms and some legs and some core. Mostly arms. My kids love this and do daily work outs plus then want to also goof off practicing other punches. They love unlocking new songs and clothes for each character. I absolutely love that you can choose a different trainer for each person and can customize their look. I made my trainer look like me for fun :D

Buy the new version of boxing

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023

This is not very much fun. I’d like to send it back but it’s been to long. The graphics are older but in all honesty I tried the newer version of being first so that’s why my critique is kind of harsh.

Not bad but I would not have bought had I known

Apologies to the seller not your fault.

When an injury sidelined me from running and hiking, I needed something new to keep me in shape. Fitness boxing has been a real success for me! My Garmin tells me that my heart rate in in the zone I want for running anyway, and indeed, if I allow set my Garmin for "indoor running" and ask it to interpret the movements as steps, the time it takes me to "punch a mile" is comparable to what it takes me to run one.

Many reviewers have complained about the inaccuracy of the program for scoring movements, and that's definitely an issue, especially for steps rather than punches. However, I find that as I have improved my technique (in part by watching You Tube videos on actual boxing) my scores are improving. So if you're the kind who is frustrated by imperfection in scoring, well, you'll be frustrated. But if, like me, you're looking to do some meaningful cardio, and just need the feedback to have a sense of making progress in technique, well, it's not a real drawback.

Finally, I want to say that now that my knee is healed, I'm still using this program for the pure joy of it, and I'm finding that now that I can engage in the lower body movements as vigorously as the upper body ones, it's a surprisingly effective whole-body workout. Not just my arms and shoulders, but my glutes, quads, and hamstrings definitely feel the burn when I am done.

This might not be the experience of a 25 year old athlete, but for an active and determined 60 year old woman, Fitness Boxing has been a wonderful tool in my toolkit.

This is not a game, this is for exercise
1. You can cheese it and just wiggle your arms while sitting, but your arms will get tired lol
2. Depends on how committed you are To IT, to unlock clothes for trainers. The more work you do u get rewarded regularly (not that many clothes to unlock tho)

I have the old Golds Gym fitness boxing for the Wii and have always enjoyed it and got a decent cardio workout with it. I read that the newer version was an even better workout and it is!! I do a combo of both… the newer version can get pretty intense for a 60 year old. It’s got lots of great music to choose from. I do recommend the additional grips for controllers, helps me with my punches
