Nike has access to cutting-edge facilities, unique insights into training and world-class trainers. The aim was to give everyone access to this exclusive experience, and create a new product from it.

Our strategy was to combine Nike’s expertise in motivation and sports science with the Kinect sensing technology to create a democratised service where everyone can receive the same top-tier training as elite athletes. The title drew users from the Xbox install base and inspired existing Nike+ members, giving them new ways to reach their fitness goals.

Our mission was to create a truly authentic training experience, the closest thing possible to working out at Nike with their master trainers.

The title is packed with innovations such as live video training with friends and the 90 day reward schedule, which are based on insights gleaned from trainers in how to motivate and guide athletes.

This was then delivered through an experience that brings Nike to life. We crafted the environments down to the blades of grass and floorboards to feel authentic, and modelled the trainers’ movements and used their real voices and words of encouragement.

Nike+ Kinect Training is designed to provide the world’s best personal trainer, in your home, for less than the cost of a single personal training session. Nike+ Kinect Training became the #1 selling Kinect title of holiday 2012, cementing it as the pinnacle fitness title on the world’s most successful console.
