This game was horrible [Posted on 2005-12-05]
I love tycoon type of games. When I saw this game it sounded really good and it could have been a good game since the idea is unique. The people just walk around and complain they very rarely use the equipment. It's very hard and most of the time when I try and direct staff to help the customers by the time they get over there the customer's are already done. I have to agree with everyone else that wrote a review it's very hard to start. I tried starting a new game a couple of times and always go bankrupt. There is no variety of machines and with the amount of money they give you it's hard to start up and attract clients. I would not recommend this game even if you love tycoon games.

Too short [Posted on 2006-11-21]
Probably one of the worst tycoon games I've played. First of all it is way too short. There are only 6 "scenarios" in the game. You can't really do much with the characters. It does tell you what they are thinking and their stats, but you can't place them anywhere, send them anywhere etc. The staff quits most of the time, and don't really do anything. The characters also rarely "work out", they just walk around. Sometimes the players will stay stuck on the corner or against the wall. The amount of money you are given is nowhere near enough. You run out of it quickly and it takes an enormous amount of time to build it up.

Probably the only cool thing about it is the machines. They are pretty realistic and theres a variety of them. But this is pretty much it.

Overall, the game is too short and there are way more downs than ups. I don't recommend it.

Worst game in the world [Posted on 2006-12-29]
How long did it take the programmer(s) to write the code that made this "game"? If it took more than an hour I'd be shocked. I spent 4.99 [4.99 too much] at Ollies, I was at work during the holidays, nothing to do and thought this game would help me get through it. NOT close. I was ticked off within 10 seconds of playing this nightmare.

You can buy all the nice equipment you want and the geniuses walk around complaining! I mean, the programmers didn't even give the lemmings any AI! I think the folks involved in developing and marketing this evil game should be placed in hard core labor camps.

Room for improvement [Posted on 2007-03-10]
I was looking for an exciting tycoon game in fitness and I found this one. I'd have to say I was a bit disapointed in the game. The graphics are not that good. And you can't control any of the people or situations. The only thing you can do is buy a few things to open your gym and wait for participants to enter. And you can read their comments. But you cannot interact with them or anything else. It is also very difficult to upgrade your gym with the little bit of money you get in the beginning. Another thing I disliked was you cannot rotate objects to place in the gym or design it much. Anyway, at least the price was reasonable. After playing it, I could see why the price was so low. I do not recommend you buy this game, even if it only cost a dollar! This is the kind of game you would expect to see on a free online game site.
