Ren'Py - Completed - Personal Trainer [v1.1.2] [Domiek]

Review of Personal Trainer v1.0 ...

... as a game:
* Poor story. Just has a introduction, then you follow each girl story.
* Poor dialogs.
* No BG music, sounds or voices.
* Has hints to progress in the girls story.
* No bugs, no crashes.
... regarding its erotic side:
* Character design is great. The girl models are good in general, great is some cases. Each main girl has different personality.
* Scenes are good. Most of them are vanilla scenes but there unskippeable NTR(netori), pregnant scenes for example.
* Animations are decent at most. Looks like animation were added in the middle of the development, so expect no animations early and decent ones at the end.
* No BG music, sounds or "moans" (so no voices).
* Has Gallery Mode. But only u can review non repeteable content.
* Looks like the game was abruptly completed with some content unfinished. Some main girls has no sex scenes, some has not repeatable content...

This is like, one of the best vn oat. It has most of the kinks you can wish for (except for scat, thats nice) and in the ntr scenes you are not the victim!
Also, the bodies are pretty real, not "bimboed", and special mention to the redhead, she's the hottest VN character ever.

I write this rather belated review because I think Personal Trainer is quite underrated as far as kinky trainer VNs go.

This is clearly a trainer-like game with episodic progression. The characters are very well written, but ultimately only offer different ways in which they succumb to your cunning corruption. Even during the wholesome path each interaction is mostly sexually intrusive, no matter how encouraging and rewarding it may be for the LI.

That being said, it has a strange BDSM flair to it, so despite some crepiness you can end up in a very warm and loving place. Like with BDSM where with the pain and desperation comes a strange form of resolution and fulfillment, so PT also offers some very wholesome interactions and rewarding moments when all is said and done.

What has been mentioned in so many other reviews is still true though. The game basically ends prematurely when you successfully corrupt an LI. There is no prologue, flavor or any type of cherishing the rewards, it just... ends.

But from my perspective this is mainly because the developer wanted to move on and use what he learned on a different project rather than disregard for fans of this particular game. It was frustrating when I experienced it, but PT is still an enjoyable experience up to that point.

Pros:
1- The story is original, I mean finally someone paid attention to the gym porn.
2- The models look nice.

Cons:
1- The renders look like they're from early 2000s, so outdated.
2- The story was way too short, and all of the characters' arcs ended in the middle without any closure, so I don't understand the title "completed" when it should be "abandoned".
3- Sandbox without any guidance, the hints were not helping and they only show up after you talk to the characters, grinding for the sake of grinding.
4- The side characters in the gym were weird and the sex scenes with them were even weirder, a huge turn off for me.
5- Speaking of the sex scenes, there were only like 5 or 6 guaranteed sex scenes and they were short and poorly animated, and not with all the characters, the rest of the characters you only get to see them naked and sometime only half naked.
6- The story was just straight porn, which something I wouldn't mind if it was executed in a good way, but here, it was just boring repetitive naked/sex events depends on which character we're talking about.

i really liked the perversion and variety of character. i found the image pretty good and i think there are sex scenes for almost every taste.
I also liked the fact that you can play this game without too many struggle.

I never bothered until now to review anything but this game pissed me off so i had to do it...

First of all this game isn't even completed, some characters story arcs stopped literally in the middle lol

Second of all i dont know how can anyone put up with terrible free roam system which forces you to play this game for like 5 hours even though there is story material for 2 hours at best, also the same events repeating time after time is just pure laziness

Models ain't much better either, chicks are either more muscular than prime Arnold Schwarzenegger or have more fat mass % than the shoe number they wear

This game could have been good, but it lacks a lot of polish and is clearly unfinished. Events don't always properly trigger in the correct or logical order. Dev spends too much time on jokes and the game is weirdly homophobic and transphobic (his jokes completely ruin the MMF and trans scenes)...

I like it. 8.575/10

Just reminder, I've played this game with android since I dont play adult games on PC unless I have to. So it'll have some cons that dont matter for the rating since its PC recommended (well, all of adult games recommend you to play on PC to get full experience).

I like the female characters, but not all of them. Some of them have great personality and good art/visual/render and some of them have uninteresting personality and ugly. But the big plus is (and big minus at the same time) almost all of them easy to fuck. No grind needed to get scene and completed gallery but its too fast to make it interesting since they easily fuck the mc in short time. But for me its a big plus since I hate grinding to fuck. Also why the fuck you name her Alex?

One of the best thing this game have (and not alot of them have it) is repeatable scenes even its different scene than the gallery and lack of content but its still a plus. Most games have system/feature where you fuck a character and it only one time only scene, so you have to reload or play it in your gallery to rewatch it. But still, after I completed the game, its kinda empty and boring.

(Its for android user out there in the cave)
The UI (+1 hour, +6 hour and zzzz button) is too small to tap, I have to repeatedly tap it to skip time, but its not that hard to get it clicked so Im not concern about it. So I probably re-play it on my PC since I like it.

Personal Trainer is an overall good game. The scenes are hot, the writing is better than a lot of other sandbox dating sims I've played, and the models aren't just your typical skinny girl with big boobs and a nice ass.

I think the main gripe I have with this game is how each love interest's route ends pretty abruptly. Some of their routes seem like they were never even finished and the creator was just ready to move on to making a new game. The game is listed as completed which in this case means it's completed being worked on.

I still definitely recommend this game, especially if you want something a little different in terms of how the women look. You'll probably get a couple good fap sessions out of this.

This might be one of the most underrated games on this site. The story is solid (for a porn game) and the models are hot. Plus, it's nice to see a creator actually finish a game (though I definitely would have liked to see more content for this). All in all, definitely worth a look.

Cool game with good animations and renders and all. Women are different from each other so you don't feel like doing the same thing with just different looking girl. Jenna's and Sophie's stories were really great.
Another good thing about the game is unlike most of the Sandbox games it's not a slow burner.
The only problem I had with game was -and it's a big one- this game is NOT completed. Now I don't know why Dev decided to do that but there is a lot of unfinished stories. Mayan's story was not even close to ending for example.
This is a game which you are going to have a great time playing but at the end you will feel like you were given a middle finger with the note ''that's it, go back now.''

It's a really good game that's just... weird in a way. What I mean..
The game has some great characters. A couple of them particularly are really top tier and some of the best I've encountered. I'm talking about Dani but especially Sophie, the cousin. Sophie is fucking amazing and her model is just stunning and I think she has the most content out of all of them.

The game is weird because when you finish every girl's content it just ends in a cold and anti climatic way. There is no big scene that concludes and just ties everything together, there is not a lesson learned, there are no credits or anything just a message on the girls' stats that says that you completed all events and all girls return to their old routines for some reason like nothing happened at all. The game does a really crappy job at creating events and situations that have a basic structure with a beginning, a middle and an end and just leaves them hanging and incomplete, many of them unanswered with what the hell happened.

Some of the more side girls like the blond receptionist and Mayan have it even worse. Their stories end so fucking abruptly it feels like they will continue in the next update if the game wasn't already completed! Jenna's and Amy's arcs were quite alright and felt more complete. Same with Hikari. Great girls nevertheless.

Despite my bitching monologue I really enjoyed the game! The humor is fantastic and witty, the MC creates his own harem in a gym and sometimes he's quite the douche but never too much and the sex scenes are plenty and really well made! What's not to like?

Occasionally the game deeps into darker waters with subjects like domestic abuse, grief, loss, alcoholism, intense breakups and illegal/forbidden love affairs but brushes them off quickly enough so it doesn't bring down the player.

I'd suggest the game for the hot girls and the sexy scenes but not for the plot because it leads nowhere.

the game is overall good but after playing felt like the girls beside the cousin are side girls and the cousin didn't had enough content, maybe thats because i enjoyed her way more than then others, would enjoy better if was more focused on her like haley's story

Very hit and miss overall.

It's pretty clear that the dev was playing favourites with the girls, and you'll spend a lot of time with a few of them and barely any time with the rest. Just when things seemed to be getting interesting their plots are just completely dropped with no further development or payoff, which is a shame since I was curious to see where things were going.

Each girl is distinct with vastly different personality traits, body shape and age demographic, so the game certainly isn't lacking in diversity. It also boasts a decent coverage of kinks including: incest, lesbian, humiliation, exhibitionism, and pregnancy. The renders are pretty decent but the animations are pretty basic loops with a few camera angles.

I guess my main gripe with the game is that it lacks any kind of main plot and conclusion. The closest we get is towards the end when but that doesn't really go anywhere. Once you've finished all the girl's routes then you just go straight back to the map, and so the game just feels kinda empty. It honestly feels more like a 0.7 or so beta release, rather than a completed game.

Overall I wouldn't say I wholeheartedly recommend Personal Trainer, but I also wouldn't dissuade someone from checking it out. It's rough around the edges and probably needed a few more months of work, but it's still pretty decent regardless. Just don't go in expecting it to blow your mind.

-------- └(・-・)┘ --------

The game as a whole is good, but I have mixed feelings...

On one hand, I liked the girls and their stories, admittedly déjà vu, but effective.
I liked the humorous referenced dialogues, they are certainly very stupid sometimes, but for me it works.
The visuals are quite correct and there are animations but of fluctuating qualities.

And on the other hand, the trigger event is badly dosed and it is for me the biggest flaw of the game. Too much time wasted having to click in every place and every hour to get clues, it's a bit tiring.

In terms of rating, with a simpler trigger event and longer sex scenes, I would have given it a 4. But the game being a bit too redundant, I'm going with a 3 (because it's not possible to give 3.5).

I still recommend it and since criticism is easier than practice, I want to say thank you and congratulations to Domiek for his work.

It's good game overall, but it also seem like it was finished in a hurry with some of the characters not getting enough love. I mean. it's pretty obvious from differences in amount of scenes, and also from descriptions in hint scren, that they'll stick to their old routines like last event didn't happen. So yeah, definitelly feels like some kind of closure is missing, but still it was fun to play.

At first this game was pretty good. i like some girls and others weren't my type as with all games but the ones i did like were pretty well written especially the cousin. However, this game feels very incomplete. Most of the characters don't feel as though they've been concluded. the most we really get is two of them feeling as though its been the end of their progression and the rest just felt like, "hey we dont have anymore content but we just want to put a completed tag here so unlucky." This game had alot of potential especially with some of the storylines but it just fell flat really. Humor was great at some parts and honestly some of the one off fucks were better than the main characters and that was saying a lot.


tldr; wasted potential making a complete game feel very incomplete with bad storylines and questionable choices for the main females compared to side ones.

What's here is really good, but it must be made clear that this game is NOT COMPLETE. The dev gave up on it, and in game messages allege that there was more to come, but apparently there is not. So go into this game with clear eyes; you will see good art, girls that run the gamut from tight young bodies to sagging milfs, good fun writing, and some good routing and game design concepts that don't get in the way of gameplay. There are also fetishes that that do something for my something really hard, like big ole nipples, pregnancy, public nudity and public sex. But I'm knocking off one star since it's not complete (and thus not fully reviewable) and two for the lying and pretending that it's done.

Doesn't get much better than this.
Witty, funny, entertaining dialogue, great animations and a great range of hot girls to have fun with.
the only thing missing is a little sound, and this could be hands down one of the best games on this site

Sorry but I just don't get it. This game didn't work for me at any level, I don't like the story, the characters, the graphics are weird (even if I recognize they're not "bad", it's just like there's something uncanny, anyway it's something I could ignore if the rest of the game worked) and the gameplay was too boring, absurdly grindy (and I'm not again grinding in games, but in this case it seemed too much)... Sadly I don't get why this game is so high in votes, I guess I just didn't connect with it.

Anyway, when so many people did don't take my review as a way to discourage you from trying, it's not a way to judge those who enjoyed it or their taste (I wish I'd enjoy it), mostly as a way to don't feel alone if after trying it you feel the same.
