Fitness First is forging ahead with its mission to make the world a fitter place with the launch later this year of a brand new product for the Nintendo Wii which will take Fitness First expertise into homes around the world.

The world’s largest privately owned gym chain has joined forces with experts at Black Bean Games to launch a new line of products under the NewU banner.

The first release will be NewU Inside | Out which seamlessly combines fitness and exercise content from Fitness First and nutrition courtesy of TV programme and best-selling book publisher You Are What You Eat.

Fitness First has designed the full-body workout and has been strongly involved in the development of the product. Each exercise is demonstrated by one of Fitness First’s leading Personal Trainers and the Wii Balance Board and Wii Remote are used to provide feedback on user’s progress and performance.

As part of the development six Fitness First personal trainers have been filmed demonstrating exercises as designers opted for real life instruction rather than using 3D graphics

"This is a fantastic product and something of which we are very proud,’’ said Fitness First managing director John Gamble.

Our mission is to make the world a fitter place and NewU takes us a step closer in achieving this. We hope this product will not only complement what members find when they come to a Fitness First, but also encourage the ’new to exercise’ person to take the next step and join a gym.’’

Designed as an interactive lifestyle and workout regime for the 21st century rather than a game, NewU allows people to select a lifestyle goal to create their custom exercise and nutritional plans.
