Isdarling -- Feel totally free to switch between Arm Blaster, Fat Burner, standard Cardio, etc. The 12 session "progression" in the named workouts turns out to be a total sham. Don't let it hold you up. Just do one (or more) repeats of one on any given day, then switch over to another immediately that same day as you feel like it. You lose nothing by doing this.
Now, PennJERSEY has a real problem. If he can't fix his 10% scores, he'll never be able to unlock the advanced "named" workouts (those are the ones that might actually satisfy him).

I'm in agreement with most of the sentiment expressed here; especially the lack of game feedback. I've been doing the sculpting and now I'm stuck repeating the same 6 exercises over and over (pendulum, z-step, flying jog, sumo rising, side to side lunge, sumo squat) with no indication of progress save the calories burned. Any thoughts?
By the way, I can't squat more than a 90 degrees knee bend and I'm not squatting enough? Killjoys ...

The big problem is there is no guidance. The documentation blows. Its like you're given a box of tools but not shown how you're supposed to use them.
From what it feels like, the personal training menu leads to both personal training AND workout programs. There really should have been two menus.
The workout programs are like the Men's Health program, or the Arms busting program. These are finite, structured routines that do not tailor themselves to your performance. They are divided up into sessions.
The personal training is the sculpting, and the programs that seem to tailor themselves to how you are performing and seem a little more endless.
When you pick a program, I think you are expected to stick with it for however many sessions it comprises of. In other words, you finish the program before moving onto another one. In real life, this is what you'd usually do. I don't know too many people who were doing something in additional to P90x, for example.
But of course this isn't real life...and the advantage of all this being virtual should be that people could combine two programs. Unfortunately when we want to switch things up, it throws all of our progress out the door like its a punishment or something.
Again, I think the biggest problem is this idea that because Im not in perfect synchronization with my trainer, my reps dont count at all!
That is what make me scratch my head. Who thought of that? Then even weirder is that the dance/kickboxing classes do not require any rhythm at all..it all seems completely backwards.
Lets just say I'm starting to wonder about the gyms and fitness clubs in Montreal...is this how they really do things?
