Reception

Jeuxvideo.com rated the game 13/20, stating that "Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 is a very recommendable software dedicated to fitness, even if movement recognition is very limited. But motivated players, who perhaps already know a few rules allowing them to perform these exercises in complete safety, should find what they are looking for, in particular thanks to the fairly varied and quality content." [6]

Morgan Sleeper for Nintendo Life rated the game 8/10, stating that, "For players that want to add some exercise to their gaming routine, or Wii Fit junkies looking for a next generation fitness fix, Your Shape Fitness is an excellent choice." Also stating that "more than just a tide-over until Wii Fit U , Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013 takes its place on the Wii U as one of the finest fitness games available anywhere." [8]

Scott Thompson for Nintendo World Report rated the game 7/10, stating that "Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 is a solid game. The variety of things to do as well as the auxiliary features, such as the news feed and recipe section, set it apart from its competitors; whatever you are looking for in your workout routine, Your Shape has something for you." [9]

Joe Skrebels for the Official Nintendo Magazine rated the game 80%, stating that the game is "professional, fully featured and a tad bodacious, (and that the game) undoubtedly sets a high bar for fitness games on Wii U." [10]
