Personal Trainer has an intriguing premise: a jilted fiancé seeks solace and, perhaps, revenge, at a women's only gym. The idea of navigating a gym full of unsuspecting women under a hilarious (or maybe disturbing?) false pretense is ripe for dark humor and clever social commentary. Unfortunately, the execution feels like a half-hearted rep at best.
The story starts strong, establishing the protagonist's downfall and his reliance on his supportive cousin, Sophie. However, the narrative then takes a backseat to the gym setting. While there are some funny moments to be had with the "undercover gym rat" scenario, the lack of clear objectives leaves you feeling adrift.
he biggest letdown is the user interface. Menus feel clunky and unintuitive, hindering the overall flow of the game. Similarly, the lack of in-game guidance can leave you unsure of what actions to take next. Despite its flaws, Personal Trainer has potential. The core concept is solid, and with a tighter narrative focus and a more user-friendly interface, this game could be a hidden gem. For now, it's a decent diversion, but it won't leave you feeling particularly pumped.
