Fitness Boxing Review
Within its common-sense (and, thanks to Wii Fit, well-known) limitations, Fitness Boxing is a breezy, energetic success that gets your blood pumping. For the one-time price of a month’s gym membership, it delivers some light CV and takes pointers from Just Dance and various rhythm games to provide a convenient and engaging workout. It’s no substitute for hard hours at the gym, but there’s certainly potential to tone up those arms and shed a few of the mince pies you put away while watching Groundhog Day over the holidays. It would be a mistake to buy this thinking you’re getting a game or some magical antidote to your spare tyre. However, it kept us coming back and if you’re after a reason to justify cancelling that direct debit to Gold’s, this is as good as anything you’ll find on a console.

Fake boxing in front of my TV is not an alternative to the gym. I get that. But I’m not going to a gym—like, ever again. So, as an alternative to whatever show I’d be watching or game I’d be playing, Fitness Boxing succeeds at its $50 asking price (although I’d rank it a bit higher at $40). If you’re likely to feel the same, I recommend getting the digital download so it’s always present and ready when you fire up your Switch to play something else (and there is a demo you can try). A half hour of cardio before two hours of Octopath Traveller is a really good idea.
