As a trained professional fitness coach I bring an informed and balanced take on fitness video games. I cover XBox 360, PS3, Wii-Fit, DS lite and PSP games from a gym, health and fitness angle.

It is time to share my experiences, give an insight into the people, the equipment and the emerging gamign fitness industry as Game People's very own Fit Gamer.

EA Sports Active More Workouts builds more fun and variety into what was already a leading fitness game on the Wii. Even with strong competition on Nintendo's Wii console, EA Sports Active More Workouts is the best all round performer for those serious about getting fit.

101-in-1 Party Megamix on the Nintendo Wii brings bag loads of activities to the living room. But a nondescript style and quantity over quality approach mean that 101-in-1 Party Megamix struggles to make itself heard over the hoards of similar titles on the Wii.

Fritz Chess for the Nintendo Wii is one of a handful of games that mirror recent fitness games with brain training - boosting your mental power with puzzles. If you are looking to work-out your grey matter, Fritz will certainly help you learn, enjoy and play chess.

The Biggest Loser is the second Nintendo Wii game spin-off from the TV Show. After the unconvincing Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum, Biggest Loser Wii has clearly had the active involvement of Bob Harper, the other trainer from the show, and is a good attempt at bringing the its message and ethos into your home. To give it a fair review I've been using as my main fitness game for over a while now.

It's been two years since Nintendo released Wii-Fit and created an entire fitness,health and exercise genre that has dominated the charts. Since then a whole host of competitors have appeared focusing on Wii-Fit's weaknesses. Now Nintendo has responded with Wii-Fit Plus which fixes many of the problems in the original, while adding whole new kinds of exercise, ramping up the fun, and making it much more effective as a fitness tool.

The Gamercize Family Fit for 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii is a new concept in video games fitness, designed to appeal to non-gamers and hard gamers alike. As will soon be demonstrated on the Gadget show and Stuff show on TV this week, for your money you get a rowing machine, a recumbent cycle and a video game fitness machine all in one. To live up to the claim to be the family's home fitness solution the Gamercize Family Fit needs to score highly every mode. As a personal trainer, fitness instructor and long time gamer I'll be putting it through its paces.

My Fitness Coach: Cardio Workout, known as Gold's Gym: Cardio Workout elsewhere, is different from its predecessor My Fitness Coach in both fitness approach and visuals. Out goes the un-Wii like graphics and in comes Manga fitness instructors and clearer, simpler graphics. Unlike its predecessor, which started out as Yourself!Fitness on the XBox and PS2, Cardio Workout has been designed from the ground up especially for the Wii.

Most people's first exposure to active gaming was probably Wii Sports, now we have Wii Sports Resort with the new MotionPlus add-on to enhance controller accuracy. Here I'll give a rundown of the 12 mini-games and assess how good they might be for keeping active, using a pulse monitor to get an idea of the calories burnt. For reference, while sitting on the sofa reading a book, the pulse meter thinks I burn about 1.5 calories a minute.

I'm back one month later to tell you how I'm getting on with EA Sports Active. If, like me, you have been losing weight, you know that what really matters when considering a diet or fitness regime is the big picture, the long view. The same applies to fitness games.
