Let's Get Fit (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

It’s perhaps in the Program section that most casual users of Let’s Get Fit will spend their time. The programs available to you at the start are determined by the fitness level you inputted during set-up. We’ve been deemed a beginner, so we have mostly Level 1 programs shown to us, with a few Level 2 (‘challenging’) thrown in, just in case we’re up for a challenge. And based on our time with the game, this may be one of the most comprehensive, versatile fitness games available on Switch. It doesn’t concern itself with adding adventure or narrative: it simply offers a great way to exercise, and tries to incentivise you to do it regularly. Each Program lasts 30 days, with each session being roughly 15 minutes in length. As the programs go on, the sessions will get a little more difficult, with the idea being that your strength and resilience builds up over time. We’ve obviously not completed a full 30-day program yet, since the game hasn’t been out that long, but providing you’ve got the discipline to jump into the game regularly, these workouts really do work. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you.

That initial set up takes less than a few minutes, and after that you’re free to hit the ground running. Three main workout options await you: Free, Program or Challenge. Free allows you to create your own custom workout, Program presents you with a list of pre-set exercise programs, and Challenge provides a new workout challenge each week. For example, the current challenge trains you to hold a two-minute plank over a 30-day program. On loading up Let’s Get Fit, you’ll be taken through a short set-up, where it asks you your gender, weight and fitness level. It’s all optional, of course – you don’t need to tell the game anything about yourself if you’d rather not share – but adding in the extra details will allow it to be more accurate when it comes to telling you how many calories you’ve burned, for instance. Let’s Get Fit will also record your statistics over time, letting you know how many times you’ve exercised and for how long, and how many calories you’ve burned off. If you’re numbers and results-oriented, seeing those stats climb upwards is likely an incentive to keep playing in itself.This review of Let’s Get Fit has been facilitated with a review code provided by the publisher.
