Fitness Boxing is a fitness video game developed by Imagineer[1] for the Nintendo Switch.[2][3] The game was released on December 20, 2018 in Japan by Imagineer, December 21, 2018 in PAL territories and January 4, 2019 in North America by Nintendo.[2][4]

Fitness Boxing is the successor to the Shape Boxing trilogy released on the Wii, with the first two installments rebranded as licensed Gold's Gym fitness games in at least North America.[5]

Two sequels, known as Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm and Exercise and Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Star, were released for the Nintendo Switch on December 4, 2020 and March 3, 2023, respectively.[6][7] A third sequel, titled Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku: Isshoni Exercise, was released on March 7, 2024 in Japan,[8] followed by an English release on July 12 in Asia[9] (simply as Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku) and an international release on September 5, 2024[10].[11]

As announced on August 30, 2023, Fitness Boxing was delisted from digital retailers on November 30 in all regions, likely due to expired music licenses.[12]
