"...why didn’t anyone think of this sooner? Yourself Fitness is... a lot cheaper than a personal trainer and you can do it in your pajamas! Plus, it has more variety than a stationary fitness video. While it will take some time for me to get used to having a pixilated personal trainer, I like the idea that it can be tailored to my needs. Yourself Fitness is an amazing concept that really carries through in the actual final product. If you’re at all interested in working out at home, I strongly suggest that you try this out..."

Willa Laskowitz - Jive Magazine

“Ever see a cyberchick cop an attitude? You will if you miss an appointment with Maya, ResponDESIGN’s virtual personal trainer... The tanned, pixel-perfect coach... demonstrates proper form, and after every ten workouts she assesses your progress. While some might resist taking orders from an animated character, the fat-blasting results far exceed normal video games, which exercise, at most, a couple of fingers.”

Chee Gates - O, The Oprah Magazine

“Enter your vital statistics and lissome CG fitness guru Maya (who’s cuter and less annoying than Richard Simmons) will develop a personalized regimen for you.”

Sam Richards - Wired Magazine

"They're good, solid workouts that made this reviewer sweat and feel the burn." 4.5 out of 5 stars.

M. David Stone - PC Magazine

"Much more than some cheesy fitness CD-ROM, Yourself!Fitness is a completely interactive program that lets you set goals, focus on different body parts, plan your meal, and even do yoga." 8.5 out of 10

- Official Xbox Magazine

"Can't afford a personal trainer? Try Yourself Fitness ... voiced by former national aerobics champion Yumi Lee (who has trained Demi Moore)..."

Anna Nordberg - InStyle Magazine

“YF is an excellent exercise tool.  For the last few months, I’ve found it difficult to visit the gym, a usual excuse I know, but YF has helped fill in that gap until I can get back on schedule.  My wife, on the other hand, uses the tool on a daily basis, and I noticed the results in just one week after her initial use... here we are, ten pounds lighter thanks to ResponDESIGN and its Yourself!Fitness product.”

Magikahn - GameHelper.com

"Yourself!Fitness doesn’t just provide the next level of home video workout. It really is an all-around fitness coach... the customization and variety in workouts makes this light years beyond anything Jane Fonda envisioned in the early 1980’s... Yourself!Fitness is not your typical Xbox title. It isn’t a game so much as a lifetime application."

"Feeling a little stressed? Strike a warrior pose in the meditation garden. Zen not your thing? Not to worry, Maya's flexible. (We couldn't resist) With six different locales incorporating Pilates, yoga and strength training to name a few, there's definitely something for everyone. Well, almost everyone. We're still waiting for Maya to suggest a little naptime on our couch, but hey, it's her world, we just sweat in it."

Sophie - ScoopDuJour.com

"A few leaders have emerged from the small crop of fitness video games released this year. Yourself!Fitness features Maya, a virtual personal trainer who not only demonstrates moves and exercises with you, but will also customize a program tailored to your needs."

Erika Hobbs - Baltimore Sun

"Yourself!Fitness is surprisingly competent as a workout routine... its longevity is infinitely better than a normal human workout video."

- Xbox Nation

"This is an excellent, extremely versatile tool for those wanting to exercise at home for whatever reason (children, budget, weather…) and might be a fun holiday gift (or self-gift) for an exercise video/DVD nut.... 9.5 out of 10"

Laura "Kwee" Wells - Warcry

"The graphics are excellent in yourself fitness, with the environments bordering on serene. Your "instructor" is a female computer generated model who is pleasing to the eyes, but doesn't suffer from Lara Croft Proportion syndrome."

Robert Perkins - Game Vortex

“More experience than game, this title turns you into the peripheral, walking you through crunches and squats onscreen to tone your bod in real life.”

Wired Magazine

"If ever there was a reason for women to commandeer that Xbox belonging to their kids, husbands or boyfriends, it's this...
I just hope they're prepared to feel the burn."

Misha Davenport - Chicago Sun-Times

“goes far beyond annoying exercise videos... Maya takes me through a 45 minute workout, which varies every time... When I change the music mid-tune from ‘80s to hip-hop, she says,“I wasn’t into that song, either.” I love her.”

Esther - Jane Magazine

"... commitment to your routine will unlock hidden extras to keep you hooked before the physical rewards kick in. You don't get bonuses like that at the gym. "

Stephen Totilo - Time Magazine

"...create a customised health and fitness plan that will have you kicking sand in the faces of muscle bound he-men at the beach."

Nick Farrell - The Inquirer (UK)

"The new exercise regime will be far from boring, as unlike a Body Combat session at the local gym, no two workouts will be the same... Avoiding the smell of sweat and visions of sticks on treadmills, users are able to workout on an island or in an Alpine Retreat.”

Ian Bogost - Digital Lifestyles

"Developer responDesign's mottos is "Games That Are Good For You," and this is my first experience where that actually proves to be true... wonderfully uncluttered..very intuitive to use and understand... As a workout-only game, it's superb...The variety of dynamic exercises coupled with Maya's helpful guidance makes this a solid replacement for repetitive workout tapes... Have the program track your progress with a profile -- and you can set up profiles for the whole family. 8.2 out of 10."

Joe Reeves - IGN.com

"Yourself!Fitness represents a new and innovative direction in the home fitness market. It delivers features that are unmatched by anything else in the home fitness industry. I believe Yourself!Fitness gives women a reason to care about the Xbox® and opens the door to video games in general."
