Good workout for one or two - just commit to it
My wife, daughter and I have been getting a 50min workout in each day with this, rotating on who goes first etc. Originally skeptical I didn’t think you could improve on ringfit adventure but I’ve found myself actually using this more as you can get straight into workouts without having to do any in between gaming (eg making smoothies, reading quests, selecting exercises that you have to do in ringfit adventure). Ringfit is a good compliment to this as that focuses on Pilates and squats etc, this is more cardio and arms.One thing I like is that if the motion detector doesn’t work for a specific move you can set it to auto perfect it - it may mean that your scores are artificially higher than they strictly would have been but it avoids the frustration of repeatedly missing a move you think you’re getting right. I’m quite tall and for ducks to register I had to bring my hands down to mid height which was unnatural and not proper form.Downsides - music is a bit pants (but you kind of block it out and just need it for rhythm), you have to go through each workout to unlock the next for free training (I suppose it’s so that as you get better but you add more moves and combos but I would’ve liked to be able to jump into the harder ones earlier on), I’ve only seen two varieties of warmup and cool down stretch (not sure if more to unlock) and on very fast moving combos there can be some slowdown in frame rates.Overall highly recommend. I use the fitness gaming mode on my Apple Watch to record the workout and for a “regular” daily workout I’m burning 450-500 calories and on “heavy” workout I can go as high as 650 in about an hour, so doing this before breakfast is ideal. Also much warmer in the house than the garden, although that said it is portable and I have used the stand mode in the shed and it works just fine. Can see myself bringing this on work trips and doing in hotel room once lockdown over.If you can stick to this and eat a bit less you will lose weight and it’s the kind of thing you can just pop on when you’re a bit bored as it’s actually fun.

Good game
I was looking for something to make me get off the sofa during this current lockdown. This game popped up on my feed, and it is great. Although not the most strenuous exercises initially, they do leave you warm, and makes exercise fun. The digital instructors provide good motivation, and the music goes well with the activities. The only down side I would point out is that the motion detection in my switch doesn’t always pick up when I have made a move in time.

What I’ve been waiting for!
I have just played this for the first time today, and it’s what I have been waiting for all my life! I used to do a Boxercise class and whilst this is and never can be the same, it’s a fantastic workout and really makes you sweat; you absolutely get out of it what you put in.It’s well laid out, with lots of options which you quickly unlock. The workouts are hard, I’ve only tried the first 2 with the trainer (on hard setting) and it was a class workout which I’m sure will get better & more brutal as I unlock more!It’s like Guitar Hero for fitness!

Good game let down by the tunes
This game has taken everything from Fitness boxing 1 and improved upon it except for the music.Imagine Katy Perry's Hot & Cold played on a £5 keyboard in trumpet mode! There is a reason why these tracks weren't available as part of the demo.Despite this I am still enjoying the game and downloaded a free update with extreme mode, which really helps burn the calories.

Fun fun fun
Absolutely love this. I’m 50 yrs old, want to do a workout but something different to Ringfit Adventure , which is equally great . Easy instructions and fun. Would definitely recommend. I’m feeling good

Great for the wife to keep fit, kids get bored of it quickly.
I bought the original Fitness Boxing for my son during the CORVID-19 lockdown. He played it a few times, but lost interest pretty quickly.My wife on the other hand has made this part of her daily exercise routine. She’s been playing every night for months. As such I bought her this version (Fitness boxing 2) when it came out. She seems to like it and is still playing it months later.

Excellent exercise game, flawless physical copy
After trying out the free trials for "Fitness Boxing" and "Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise" for a week straight, I found the sequel to be much better. Nintendo improved the gameplay mechanics, especially the motion censor detection which is the most crucial element; the visuals are more interesting; the instructors are more engaging and their voices sound natural -- save for Lin and Hiro who sound like stilted, monotone A.I. rather than human V.A.'s; and the music selection is actually enjoyable, compared to the awful pop songs used in the first game.Honestly, I was worried about ordering a physical copy -- so many things can go wrong -- but thankfully that isn't the case here. Besides, I prefer physical media, personally. Upon receiving my copy, thankfully there was/is nothing wrong with it whatsoever. The plastic case arrived in pristine condition and the game cartridge inside functions perfectly. Huzzah! Side note: the product picture advertised the European cover, I could've sworn, but mine has the North American cover art. Either way works for me; Nintendo Switch games are region free. (Why can't everything be so easy?)

It's hard to get the timing right and my trainer isn't impressed but it's enjoyable.

Lots of fun!
This Nintendo boxing exercise program is a lot of fun but it can also make you feel like you are out of shape. For instance, the first time I used it, I was out of breath and I realized that my right arm is a lot stronger than my left arm. It really gives you a good workout. It can be played as a single player or you can play in two-person mode. I turned off the vibrate because I found it annoying and I felt like it threw off my timing. This helped increase my accuracy and after using it once or twice a week, my left arm is getting stronger, and the accuracy has improved significantly. I recommend the Nintendo Switch Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise whether you play it by yourself or with another person.
