2.0 out of 5 stars Stable Step Platform, But Weight Issue Leaves Something to be Desired, June 22, 2009

This review is from: Aerobics Step Platform for Wii Fit (Accessory)

Pros: This Aerobics Step Platform for Wii Fit Balance Board is very stable and does not move, shift or flex when used.

Cons: No paperwork whatsoever, no instructions, nothing.
Weight is under-reported when using the step by almost 20 pounds. Apparently the foot holes are a little too deep. The Balance Board on the step registers weight correctly when I put 2 aluminum coins in each foot hole, then put the Balance Board on the step. Thanks Artdiver1 for the suggestion! (See Artdiver1's reviews of the "Everlast 3 Aerobic Step" and "Wii Riser Aerobic Step for the Wii Fit Balance Board" for more details.
Steps don't always register. Solved by adding the coins to make the foot holes a little more shallow. Now they register perfectly.

It works, but I shouldn't have to jury rig it to make it work right.

(MANUFACTURER)

The Wii Balance Board does not always give accurate weight reporting when used on carpet, whether you use the Aerobic Step Platform with it or not. Nintendo recommends using the foot extensions that come with the Balance Board to alleviate this problem. Customers have reported that using something underneath the feet such as poker chips or coins can help as well.

There are normally instructions packaged with the product and I cannot explain why you didn't receive them. However we can always be contacted with questions or concerns via our CTA Digital Facebook fanpage 'reviews' section, or through our technical support team email address which is: [e-mail].

4.0 out of 5 stars Aerobics Step Platform for Wii Fit - LOVE it!, July 9, 2009

By	Samuel Dickens "Sam" - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Aerobics Step Platform for Wii Fit (Accessory)

I used this the instant I received it and plan to use it every day now!!

Pros:
1. Easy to assemble. Simply put the Wii board on top of it in
appropriate slots and it's ready to use. No instructions necessary.

2. Definitely intensified the Wii Fit Step Aerobic workout. Felt it work
my calves, upper thighs, back and heart rate increased. I was very
satisfied with quality of workout I received using it.

3. It intensifies the Wii Fit Free Step workout too.

4. It's very sturdy. I had my doubts when ordering it but I'm very
impressed w/ how sturdy it actually feels.

5. I felt it actually did calculate my weight and workouts correctly.

6. Easy to take the board off the step accessory if you don't want to
use the step during other games/activities. Simply lift it out.

Cons:
1. It shifts a teeny bit in the slots at times but not enough that it
altered my workout or frustrated me. I didn't really notice it.

2. I wish I had purchased it much sooner.

After reading the posted reviews for this product, I decided to buy and try. I have been happy with the workoput that I have gotten with the use of this product with my WiiFit balance board. I do suggest that you do place a poker chip (or the equivalent of) in the holes that the feet of the board go into in order for the board to register the correct inof to the Wii. That suggestion was obtained by reading the posts before I bought the product.
