I just got Ring Fit Adventure. It was a somewhat grudging purchase, and I approached it with a sense of shame and duty... And man, I am immediately converted. It is AWESOME.

It's easy to customize it so it's not too hard for a beginner/someone who hasn't been to the gym since the pandemic started. My first workout was so much fun I genuinely can't wait to do more later. I had to make myself quit after a 6.5 minute intro so I could get back to work.

Something ring fit gets right that so many exercise videos/classes/trainers/etc get wrong is that it feels encouraging without being condescending.

The writing is part of this, but I think the voice acting is mainly what I'm responding to. It simply doesn't feel like a fitness instructor who knows they should be encouraging me but is actually cringing at how out of shape I am.

I am, admittedly, waaaaay too sensitive to hearing even a bit of that tone from a fitness guru- but in the past it's been a huge barrier to working out for me.
