This personalized training program specifically designed to help users reach their goals seems to take the shine out of personal trainers in Korea

Seoul, Korea ¶ June 5, 2012 — In its another attempt to link sports training and technology, Nike teamed up with Microsoft to unveil "Nike+Kinect Training" for Kinect for Xbox 360, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, widely known as "E3" event in Los Angeles on June 04. 

With this new entertaining tool, personal trainers work with the user to evaluate their physical strengths, identify areas for improvement and create a "personalized" workout, taking the shine out of personal trainers or PTs -- an emerging profession in Korea, obsessed with being perfectly in shape in the run up to the upcoming vacation season.  

Using the Kinect motion sensor technology, virtual personal trainers can offer real-time feedback to enhance your work-out performances. These personal trainers pushing you hard to make you being in outstandingly shape have worked with some of the work's greatest athletes, so their high-level expertise along with what Nike calls a "fun and inspiring" experience make the program too good to be true, especially if you find it hard to afford personal trainers.
