GreenPixels writes: "Daisy Fuentes Pilates is the first Pilates-focused title to enter the exergame scene. As a big fan of Pilates, I was excited to try it out. The game attempts to whisk the player away to a relaxing resort world complete with beaches, massage and meditation rooms, and other soothing backgrounds. In addition to the Pilates moves, model Daisy offers fitness and diet tips. But do Daisy and her resort offer a healthy and relaxing escape, or is this game just as stressful as the real world? Well, it really depends how you approach it."
IGN writes: "Initially I was optimistic about this experience -- the fact that they decided to use peripherals to help beginners get the movements down properly was encouraging, as correct form is key in Pilates. Unfortunately, the extremely poor execution shattered any positive thoughts I previously harbored. The Wii remote and Balance Board "compatibility" ruins this entire game. Does Pilates work? Yes, Pilates is a great exercise routine. Does this "game"? No. You're better off getting a Pilates workout DVD –- you won't become nearly as frustrated with it".
