UFC personal trainer

Just another gimmicky fitness game, or does it actually bring more to the table than just "moving around a lot"..?

I've seen a lot of fighters & trainers lending their faces & time to this new game, but obviously their opinion is somewhat influenced by Dana breathing down their financial necks:-)

I think I will get it, mostly because I really hope this will finally make me use my Kinect, secondly because I allready work out a lot, and this might give me some new ideas.

And thirdly because I am a huge UFC fan, and dont mind to finally spend some money on it;-)

Anybody else planning on buying this one?

Or any specific reasons you are passing on it?

Re: UFC personal trainer

This is the only game i have been preordered ever (and the cod games).
I love my kinect, mainly for fitnessreasons. The achievements keeps my motivation up. Finished Your Shape and Dance Central and i love to use the kinect as cardio training, Because i hate running and all that kind of stuff. I hit the gym 5 times a week so i´m not out of shape but i´m just lifting weights there. kinect is the only thing i use for cardio, almost.

So i´m looking forward to this really much. Your shape boxing classes was the most fun in that game... this is a whole game based on... well not boxing but MMA and fighting. I really think and believes in that this will be one hell of a workout and a great game!

I have looked at the achievements as well... train every day for 100 days You will probably look like an ufc after this haha

Re: UFC personal trainer

Good to read that using this (kinect)as a "keeping fit" tool has worked for you; so thats one aspect of the game/program that will most likely work for sure then.

I wonder if they also spend some of the exercises on getting more flexible. Cause really, I used to be able to touch my toes to my head as a kid; now I am happy to be able to clip my toenails without going into cramps.

And training for a 100 days straight? I am sure I would have gotten this one with MW2; but I am not so sure if I want to clear out the "kinect floorspace" every day.
(Has got nothing to do with being a lazy soab every once in a while offcourse:-)

Where can you find a list of achievements to this game? Maybe got a link?(if links are allowed here, I don't know for sure)

edit; here it is

Re: UFC personal trainer

I'm waiting intently for this one. I loved Your Shape, but the fact that it wouldn't plan a varied workout schedule for you stopped me from playing it.

I know nothing about fitness. I want the game to ask me how long I want it to plan my schedule for, give me a fitness test to work out my level, and then schedule a full programme of workouts. EA Sports Active 2 did this, but had real issues when it came to recognizing your movements.

I'll be all over UFC Personal Trainer on day one...as wrong as that sounds!

Ah well, the guys in the octagon are all over each other too most of the time; and sometimes it even looks wrong....;-)

I have to say, I wouldn't like to tell them that. Not unless I was standing a few hundred miles away at the time
