The Gravity fitness centre at Le Parker Meridien hotel in New York on West 57th Street decided they would transform their old squash court into a Wii Fit and Wii Sport room so that New Yorkers with small apartements have a place where they can comfortably play on the Wii. Not only does this Wii installation have a nice digital projector, Wii Fit and Wii Sports, they even have a personal trainer.

A Wii Sports session is pretty expensive, you pay $120 but you get perosnal one-on-one coaching from the human coach while you give the best of yourself in Wii Sports or Wii Fit. Some players claim that the personal trainer really motivates you to do the best you can. But there’s also a cheap $50 one hour session without the helpful personal trainer.

The Lake East Hospital in Painesville is one of the many hospitals using Nintendo’s Wii to help patients recover from a disease or an operation.

A lot of gamers want to know how much the Wii Balance Board can carry. A NeoGAF member purchased Wii Fit with the Wii Balance Board and the game told him he was too heavy and it wouldn’t register his Mii-character. The Wii Balance Board is supporting up to 660 lbs, Wii Fit supports weights up to 330 llbs and the NeoGAF guy trying out the game was 350 lbs and 6′8″ tall. There are many other gamers who can’t play Wii Fit because they are too heavy. We sure hope that Nintendo will publish another Wii Balance Board in the future that has a higher weight limit. If Nintendo doesn’t do it, a third party publisher will certainly do it anyway.
