UFC Personal Trainer is a fighting and fitness video game created by THQ. The game requires the Kinect accessory for the Xbox 360 version and the PlayStation Move and PlayStation Eye Camera for the PlayStation 3 version. There is also a Wii version that does not require any additional accessories to play. It was released on June 28, 2011.

Gameplay

The PlayStation3 version of UFC Personal Trainer is a fitness video game that has training instruction in three separate sections from three champion UFC fighters and trainers; Mark Delagrotte, Greg Jackson, and Javier Mendez. They start with a warm up, followed by stretching, and then the work out you selected from the menu under their section, ending with a cool down stretching period. They give tips, instruction, and encouragement throughout the entire work out. You can workout alone or side by side with a partner. You will need to plug in the PlayStation Eye Camera and calibrate the PlayStation Move before the disc will go to the menu screen. You will need the PlayStation Leg Strap to hold the PlayStation Move in place when doing the leg exercises. You set up your account to your height and weight and fitness level with the use of the adjustable menu and short fitness test, which you can retake as many times as you want. You can choose to do the menu of workouts under the three UFC fighters or you can choose separate preset 30 or 60 day workouts or make your own customized workouts. As you progress, there are prizes and trophies you earn and instructional and motivational videos that you unlock. There are also separate activities you can choose for fun or as a break from your work out. You don't need to be a gamer to use this program and it can used by men or women.

Reception

A GameSpot review gave the Xbox 360 version a 6/10 rating stating that it offers the most exhausting workout in video games, but bugs, repetitive programmes, and overlong stretching periods cause you to tire for the wrong reasons.[2]
