UFC Personal Trainer : The Ultimate Fitness System

UFC Personal Trainer: The Ultimate Fitness System Review

When you think of the UFC, what do you think of? I think mixed martial arts and mats covered in blood. Now I also think of PlayStation Move, Kinect, and the Nintendo Wii thanks to UFC Personal Trainer: The Ultimate Fitness System. Motion gaming has been a popular avenue for interactive fitness ever since DanceDanceRevolution proved that nerds love to sweat. UFC Personal Trainer combines the UFC brand with support from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). It takes fitness seriously, and I like that, because I'm serious about my health. It's clear that a lot of planning went into UFC Personal Trainer. It's clean, well-organized, and the inclusion of real UFC trainers and the presence of the NASM legitimizes the exercises. But there are a lot of problems that come along with this game on all the platforms. It's certainly not the "ultimate fitness system," and a lot of the technical issues kept me from properly enjoying my workout. It got me sweating, but Wii owners beware: this is a much less enjoyable experience than what you'd get on Kinect. When you're ready to get fit with UFC Personal Trainer, you have a few options. You can rock a pre-made workout with one of three trainers: Mark DellaGrotte, Greg Jackson, or Javier Mendez.
