Does anyone have a Ki Fit?

One of these? http://www.kiperformance.co.uk/

I ordered it yesterday, hopefully arriving tomorrow, just wondering if anyone's tried it yet?

Khannie

Never heard of it. Looks interesting though. My birthday is approaching.

Well I'll let you know how I get on with it, it's got very good write ups in magazines over here!

I've got one. It's pretty good. Two small negatives. The website doesn't always load for me and logging the food can be a bit of a pain. Do you have an iphone? If you do I'll explain why

Khannie

I do. Tell me more. I'm intrigued!

I think it goes under the name Go Wear Fit in the USA and is a very well-known / used product (Google for lots of reviews) - They did not ship outide the US before so they must have released the Ki Fit for the European market - have they been shipping long OP? I always thought the Go Wear Fit looked kind of interesting :o

I ordered a GoWear Fit because I'm moving to Canada in a few months. Ki Fit looks the same but they charge more for the website. I'm hoping it's worth the money... Leigh Peele reviewed GoWear Fit and Bodybugg anyway and gave them a thumbs up!

Khannie

Oh wait wait....you've to pay an ongoing fee for the website after you've bought the kit?

bubblyone

Yup. That's the catch. It's something like £11.95 per month (STERLING) for the KiFit. You can't use it without it.

That's me out. I was interested in it as a monitoring tool. But the fact it you have to log a lot of it yourself means i'm not paying to do it

There's a thing called a Fitbit which is $99 and the website is free. It doesn't seem to be as fancy as the others-pedometer and accelerometer-but it's been getting good reviews. Possibly not as accurate? But cheaper and would still kind of get you moving more which I think is one of the biggest advantages of BodyBugg type things.

My Ki Fit just arrived I dunno how long they've been shipping, I was at a women's health exhibition in Earls Court on Sunday and I saw it there. I'll have to wait til this evening to get it set up and start wearing it from tomorrow. It's costing me for the premium package which includes the arm band and the wee monitor you put on your clothes, £89 initially then £20 a month. I was going to join weight watchers which would cost more monthly so I'm justifying the price that way. Hope it's good!

I'd be interested to know what calories you're burning and how much mod and vig activity you do each day.

I was surprised by how much I did.

In regards to the iphone. I'm keen to know if you could use it to log your food.

I've just posted this in another thread, its free and works on the iPhone and lots of other phones. Check out the link.

I'll let you know! Do you know what time of the night it resets at? I woke up this mirning and it said I'd burned 580 calories today which is confusing

I just rang up and checked there, they said it re sets at midnight so I burned that through the night. Not bad! They were so helpful on the phone actually.:)

Just an update, I've had the Ki fit for 3 weeks now and have lost 6lbs. Not a huge amount but it really helps to keep me motivated and seeing how many cals I've burned versus how many I've eated keeps me wanting to stay active.

I just have to stick at it now!:)

Khannie

Thanks for the update.
