Simply great, it allows access to many options to exercise and have fun... the RingFit materials are of very good quality and many things to explore within the game!

I saw this and had to try it. I actually loved it. Its a great way to get a quick workout in, get easy steps in and sweat a little. I will say I wish the main game didn't have so much talking and added stuff too it. Like I just want to work out not buy smoothies to fight the monster. I also wish that you could put all of the workout moves as an option to do during the game but you can only have a certain amount. Over all its a really fun product and doesn't feel like you are working out.

I was skeptical with how much could be done with just a ring, but my goodness does this game kick my butt into gear! I’m not an athletic type and although I’ve been to the gym often enough, I am always very unsure if I’m doing an exercise correctly. This game perfectly explains how to do the exercises while having the proper mechanisms to tell you if you’re doing it right or not. But the game aspect of it is so fun, it makes you wanna do the same workout multiple times in a row just to get it perfect!

First thing's first: If you're looking to lose weight, eat fewer calories. If you're looking for a fun way to augment a fitness routine, buy this.I bought this initially for my kids, but I've wound up using it much more frequently than they do. I already work out regularly, but I've found that this game has given me some new and different ways of getting in some exercise. Especially during the winter months -- which is right now as I'm writing this -- the same old gym routine starts to feel like a grind. This game could not have come at a more perfect time.Above I mentioned that this is a great tool for augmenting your routine and I think it's important to expand upon that a bit. The workouts you get with this game are simply not as good as what you can do in a gym, and some of the numbers are definitely way off. For example, the game involves a lot of jogging in place and will often translate that to a ridiculous number of "meters run." I can jog for maybe 30 seconds and have the game tell me that I've just run 500+m. I wish I were the next Usain Bolt, but that's certainly not the case. I can easily break a sweat while playing this game, but 30 minutes of gameplay is not even close to hitting the treadmill for 30 minutes. So again, this is a fun side activity -- not the main course. (Note: I think a weighted vest could go a long way here. I've not tried it yet, though, so no comment.)The actual "game" portion of this game ("Adventure Mode") is decent, if extremely repetitive. "Battles" involve doing lots and lots and lots of reps of various exercises and, for me at least, it gets boring quickly. My favorite way to use this is to ignore Adventure Mode altogether and instead focus on the mini games, challenges, and sets. The mini games and challenges especially are super fun and when you do a lot of them can add up to a pretty good workout. Each one takes between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes and generally works a single muscle group in a game-like format. At the end you get a ranking, on a scale of D-C-B-A-S, where S is the best. This creates a nice competition, either against yourself or against friends.I'd like to see way, way more mini games and especially challenges added to the system (there are only a handful of the latter today, mostly working the same muscle groups). And I'd love to have a two-player mode available so that e.g. I can challenge my kids in real time instead of our having to take off the leg holster every time. This could be an amazing party game with a few tweaks.Hardware-wise, the ring con is really cool and an interesting way to interact but the hardware can certainly be a lot better. First off, I really wish there were some options with regard to increasing resistance. The game handles that by increasing the number of reps, which works to some degree but gets a bit boring after a while. Second, the leg holster. This area is far less well thought out and I think there is lots of room for improvement here. I am constantly having to adjust it as it slips during various jogging exercises and if I tighten it too much it starts hitting the buttons on the joycon and the game freaks out. I think a rubberized version with a built-in joycon (sans buttons) would solve this nicely. It would of course not be free but I'm sure I'm not the only player who would be willing to invest.My final bit of feedback -- I wonder if anyone from Nintendo will even read this? -- is that community-created exercises in the form of challenges, sets, and perhaps even mini games, would really open things up and allow the platform to thrive. I feel there's a tremendous amount of potential here if Nintendo is willing to allow its users to take this to the next level.That was a long review so let me summarize: This is a fun way to get some exercise, well worth the cost in my opinion. It won't replace a "real" workout in a gym but it's a great add on. The hardware is innovative and interesting but there's room for improvement. And the platform itself could yield amazing things...Nintendo, I hope you're listening.Definitely recommended!

It's a fun and interesting game. You get good work out with easy to follow instructions. It doesn't pressure you to play very day and even recommends breaks. I've lost about 10 lbs in one month doing about one level a day, but I've only worked out for about 14 days of that month. I'm no spring chicken, and I have a lot of extra weight. I tried this to be healthier in a more "fun" way and it's working. You can adjust the difficulty if you are a health nut or just starting to exercise again after many years. The thigh strap might be a struggle for those with beautiful larger thighs, but it is very stretchy and can accommodate most thighs. There's also a mode for reps outside the game so you can work out while watching TV or working and add them later or gift to a friend (weird but sure). The story is mega dorky, but ypu might chuckle a bit. It's worth the challenge and a try
