"The Wii Fit is a great way to improve balance and core stability. Learn Yoga with feed back on COG vs BOS. Gives you ability to play games to improve balance and core strength. Give you feed back on progress. It's a bit mindlessly addicting as most video games are but in a good way. We have had companies bring in machines that measure the same thing with a balance board for tens of thousands of dollars this kinda wraps it up into one nice little balance/core package for under $400 minus TV/monitor. It's good piece of equipment to add some needed core feedback and change things up."dexter
Ease of use
Very user friendly. Take you through set up with on screen instruction.
Quality of Construction
The unit is solid. Fit board which is a balance board and scale is very heavy and stays put well. Don't try to move it with your foot. It will stub your toe.
Fit
Once size fits all.
Comfort
Would like to have a wider board for some of the strength training exercise. They need to have a smaller Wii'mote to allow you to carry it during yoga and strength moves. You only use the A button for the most part.
Adjustability
You make a Mii, a little cartoon you, it's you weight and all. There is only two trainers to chose from.
Durability
Had the Wii for over a year with not trouble, just got Wii Fit.
Value
I'm looking into getting one for the PT clinic not only for the spinal and core exercises, but also balance.
Appearance
White, looks like a bathroom scale.
Customer Service
Haven't needed them

=Always tells you the truth about weight and BMI. (bastards), would be nice to lie a little. Even Rstock was overweight.

Ease of installation
Wii needs to have a bar on the TV/monitor, power and feed to AV input. Install batteries into Wii'motes and Fit board. Insert disk into Wii. Will need a Numchuck. Unit is small and fits in media cabinet easily.
