Does anyone own any of these games, and do you need a lot of room to play? Do they just sound like a fun way to get fit, and end up in the cupboard under the stairs? My stamina is very poor after a series of operations, and I was hoping to build it back without having to travel back and forth to a gym.

I use these, they are fun. You can play on your own or with others. Some games need the wobble board. I like tennis and table tennis best.

Space wise about 8ft square cleared. I move coffee table etc back. Also space to swing your arm!

Thanks for the reminder ! I haven't played in a while so I'll set it up again.

Have fun

Thanks for your helpful reply. I like the sound of tennis and table tennis, both of which I've enjoyed for real. Which model do you have? Does it have both games on it?

Excuse my ignorance, but I have only just started looking into this, and am rather confused by the choice. I struggle to buy soap powder as well!

Many thanks, fellow gran.

Thank you so much for your useful advice.

I like the idea of tennis and table tennis, both of which I've enjoyed for real. Which model do you have? Is it possible to get both games on the same one?

Excuse my ignorance, but I've only just started looking into this, and am confused by the choice. I'm hopeless at buying soap powder too!

Many thanks, fellow gran.

Hi just came back. Our system is a bit old, but the tennis and T/T are on the same disc.

I think they are all down load able now!

I've got the WiFit with an additional disc called WiSports and Wi SportsResort. The WiFit is pretty good for daily exercise. If I can't get out for my 40 minute walk I exercise on the WiFit. I do step exercises, hula hooping (you need the wobble board for both of those) and also jogging - all quite good fun. There are other exercises you can do and you can also check your fitness before you start. On the sports discs, as well as tennis, you can do golf, water skiing and more, either on your own or with a friend. I've had mine for at least three years and I've not consigned it to the cupboard under the stairs yet.
