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

I always passed this game up for some reason thinking it would just be awful. Well, I finally decided to give it a try and I gotta day it’s pretty good. I do recommend playing it. It’s got hot chicks, a few laughs, and It has a decent story. Two thumbs up

Just an amazing game. Great assets across a diverse field of women's body types, the redheaded MILF being a personal favorite (crossing fingers for lactation with the pregnancy), a functional and generally helpful in game hint system, repeatable scenes galore, the only minor complaint I can even think of is there are now so many non-story tidbit adult scenes keeping track of which you've seen is getting tough, hopefully they get added to the gallery too. Over time the game has continued to grow, bugs are addressed, new content added, with what's already there and with that continued growth it's definitely worth following and patroning.

I didn't expect much tbh but the game is actually really good! The animations are really nice and the renders are made well.
Don't let the front page fool you and just give it a try, you won't regret it!

Let's dive right in:

Plus column:

+ Some very nice renders of the women. (Jenna is well done even if one doesn't like excessive muscle.)
+ Some of the one-liners/comebacks/smackdowns are ok...
+ Plenty of action without a grind
++ As of .75, the animation quality is improving.

Minus column:

-- Many of the jokes/one-liners/comebacks/smack downs are old, tired and we've heard it all before. At times it's as if a high schooler was yapping just to try to sound cool.

-- Depending on how one feels about PC language, this game may/may not peg the meter. Some of the stuff, IMO, goes beyond a tolerable boundary. For example, stereotyping the language of a Japanese woman (broken English and what reads like something from WWII era propaganda), or the "Southern" slang of a black woman ("sugga" ?? "boy" ??). It fails...hard.
- If you don't want to work hard at nabbing all the women, this game's for you. Just lay down some smack talk and they'll gladly let you do whatever. Surprised there is no harem tag.
-- Eroticism. None. Has all the standard porn speak of "bitches", "sluts", etc. There's no attempt to be romantic.
---- Penis renders. Ok, first time I've ever commented on this in a review, but good grief. In one shot the MC's penis is the size of a slug. In another shot it's the size of a crayon...then a straw. It's short, long, skinny, needle-like. Someone needs some help with perspective rendering.

If you're not demanding of an author in regard to script and like it when all the ladies give themselves to you without much of a struggle (I don't think there is actually any way successful copulation with any of the women can be avoided), then this game is worth a test drive.

story is decent. image quality is pretty good. the game is not grindy, and there is a decent amount of content in it so far. there's an in-game walktrhough and schedules for each character, so you wont be stuck at any point in the game. 5/5

Simply amazing. Dialogue is brilliant. Girls are varied. hint system is inspired. Just all over a great game to try out. I didnt want it to end and I will make sure i keep an eye out for this developers other work.

Who'd have thought one could find body positivity in a raunchy AVN? And it's not thrown out in our faces, preach-like. It's built in the character models - with realistic bodies, shapes and flaws - and the character arcs - they learn they can be desired as they are. There is more depth and feeling than I was expecting and I was pleasantly surprised.

Visually this AVN is also remarkable. Models are hot and come in all shapes and forms. Very much literally. Textures, poses and animations are all pretty good - on par if not, above average.

Story and renders aside, the playability is also something to sing praises about. The calendar coupled with a hint system make it so much easier to accomplish objectives - and even have fun. I found myself playing more, repeating scenes I knew were to happen, rather than skipping whole chunks of the day.

By itself, it easily deserves a 4/5, but for the things I said above which it does different (and better) than other similar games it earns an extra star.

Disclaimer: This is not my type of game. I played for just barely under an hour and have no intention to continue any time soon.

Since I only played for an hour, I can't speak for story all that much. From what little I did play, it seems each character has a parallel plot that occasionally tie together with the occasional progress check. While I personally prefer stories to be much more "on rails", this doesn't appeal to me but some people definitely like it. I've only followed the story path of one character, but I've already seen enough to tell that the writing is pretty good.

Renders: Beautiful. Most of the models I've seen don't appeal to me, but they are all high quality models. The models aren't the entirely reason the renders look so good. There's clearly been a lot of work in post and on the background of the scene to really make the renders look good.

Animations: I've only seen rather short animations without tons of moving parts, but they look good and it's almost always better to have some basic animation rather than none.

My favorite thing about the game is probably the interaction between the mc and the other characters (I burst out laughing a few times from the jokes). All the characters are very well developed and each bring something different to the table. All in all loved the game and hope to see more.

The story is nothing groundbreaking. Some of the girls are a little extreme to the point of being mildly shocking - two of the girls in particular have some aggressive tendencies (not sex related) that can kind of take you aback - but I believe the payoff is worth it because virtually all of the main characters (nine girls + MC) are pretty richly developed characters with distinct personalities. Still, the game truly shines in its writing which is legitimately good, not just good for a porn game. The dialogue is snappy and topical and really feels like people having a conversation (even if some of the characters are a little too stereotypical)

5/5 on the strength of the writing and the characters

I just love the relationship between MC and Sophie (whose model is just absolutely cute and hot as all fuck). The way the characters and their interactions with each other is written makes them feel much more real than most characters in those kind of games. The humour is actually kind of funny. Also Mayan is great. I hope the gym will make her get in shape even though I doubt there will be changes in the model but one can hope.

Had high hopes for this game after the starting plot, a guy betrayed by the women he loved which shatters his life and he can decide to treat others as has he has been treated or take the high road, sounds like a great plot but it seems to end there when the MC treats everyone the same way all standard white knights in games do.

Where exactly is the "satisfy the revenge in your heart" in this game?

There are no choices other than do you want to talk to this person yes/no and the conversations are standard boring "nice guy" ones.

I would say this game is much more for the masochist/sub player as all the sex scenes so far are with the woman taking control and there is lots of male bashing.

Art is good with an array of women, nice clean backrounds and a very nice and organised UI.

No errors or lag so works well.

Every character has their own story and the creator has made each one of them incredibly attractive in their own way. All the scenes are very well rendered and the fact that Domiek is intentional on making each of them with their own flaws makes it much more realistic than other games as well as more immersive.

It's a good game. The lack of grinding is really welcome. The girls are hot, but the art is inconsistent. The cousin seems to be one person in some scenes and a totally different one in others. It's a bit weird. But otherwise, it's a good game that I'm looking forward for future updates.

Personal Trainer is a curious game, to say the least. At rare times, its writing appears to be mature and developed, approaching powerful issues like abuse and mental health with respect. However, most of the time, the writing falls back on this immature, edgy attempt at humour that’s either body-shaming, trans and gay bashing, or cartoony levels of objectification. Here’s a sample of such dialogue:
These lines are more embarrassing than amusing, and caused me to have trouble connecting with, or sometimes even believing in, a protagonist who’s supposed to be a grown adult but shows less emotional development than a teenager. Scene became the next casualty of these juvenile outbursts, as I just wanted to skip any conversation the moment I know it’s going to spiral deeper into inane banter. However, the biggest issue lies in tone. The tonal confusion between moments of eroticism and immature silliness, or moments of serious character development and immature silliness, makes it difficult to stay immersed in the story and appreciate any of the vertical or horizontal development. The dialogue needs focus.

The story itself does not leave the shallow end either. Although some of the supporting characters in the game have potentially interesting motivations and growth projections, as of version .55 the main character’s story doesn’t change after the prologue. You play a guy who wants to impregnate as many women as possible because he’s bitter about being cheated on and losing his job. There’s one scene where he mentions and almost confronts this turning point in his life, but other than that the protagonist doesn’t change or accomplish anything. Additionally, there doesn’t seem to be any events triggered by the protagonist’s progression in his quest to impregnate everyone, so even the goal he’s set out on seems to be going nowhere. This makes Personal Trainer feel like it doesn’t really have a central story to follow, which is a very different thing from simply being a sandbox in which you can advance the central story at your own pace. The story needs advancement.

Finally, let’s talk aesthetics. While it’s true that this game has some decent animations and a few attractive romanceable characters, many of the characters’ models go well-past “humble milf” and for some reason have been designed to look corpulent. For example the redhead Amy, when you find her in the café, has sunken cheeks and a blue pallor that made me convinced I was about to read she’d been bitten by a zombie and the game was about to head in a whole other direction. It didn’t. The majority of the other characters are similarly overweight, weathered women, which I think would be awesome if there was an option to actually do your job as a physical trainer and get them into shape, but that doesn’t seem the case. Basically, if you’re not into overweight, middle-aged women, there aren't many choices for you.

Overall, there’s a lot of talent and time evident in the creation of this game, but there were a lot of choices in the author’s creative process that make it repulsing and generally not entertaining on multiple levels. Then again, given its overall rating, it’s possible I’m the one out of touch. So if you’re looking for a story with thiccc moms, a sociopathic protagonist with the wit of a high school student, and a lot of dubious consent, give Personal Trainer a chance!

Idk what the people saw in this game but I can't say anything good about this game, the animation is very rough, there's no plot, a lot of bugs like repetitive events (with sophie man I just played like 4 times the event of her promotion and 4 times more the event when she asks for her dress if it's ok), the characters are really empty inside, maybe Sophie has something but the events doesn't change with her at any moment and I played the game for 3 weeks (in game), the story is nothing new, maybe if you want to fuck every girl in your way ... but man that animations are pretty bad, some storys go on with some girls but there are no effort in that stories.

this game is like ono of those 3d h games with the difference that it has a really detailed animations and images that makes the game more rotic than others . HIGHLY RECOMENDED TO SUPPORT ON PATREON IF YOUNLIKE WHAT YOU SEE

It is a great sandbox game. You can free roam arund the city and you can manage the time if you actually can't choose activity. Render is nice girls are different and beauty. Story is something new with that setting where you can rebuild your life and seduce girls. Dialogues are authentical and sometimes funny. Lewds scene animations are repeatable short ones but they are smooth and hot.

Amazing, never expected this... Especially the main story is incredible ( I love Sophie)!!! There are not as many animations but the image quality is amazing.
Personally i would've loved the characters to be less... and the effort and time to be invested more in them, but I don't care it's amazing game. It's my second review... I was lazy to write it but, just cant express how much i loved the development of Sophie as a character. The scene and the story was so funny and so light and in the same time deep, love it.

At first I just tried to play this game for fun,
And...
Woah this game is really entertaining.

good render,nice animation.
interesting random event.

The plot is not too heavy but it is enough to make me enjoy the story.

The character is very interesting, the relationship between cousin and MC is one of the best, full of humor and entertaining strange events.
Jenna the Muscle Girl Fighting Slut, oh incredible.
Amy the perfect milf,
Daisy the innocent, Dani the charming boss.
Hikari, oh hikari why are you vaginatarian ...


Good health always dev,
can't wait for the next update ..
