Does not meet the "Hated by the majority of the audience" criteria: If they have about as many fans as detractors, even if the latter are more obvious, that's a Base Breaking Character.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Among the game's fans, there are people who dislike the trainers, both for their AnnoyingVideoGameHelper moments and [[UnintentionalUncannyValley for the creepy effect they exude]]. Others don't really mind much considering their rather flattering physiques, or outright see them as {{Memetic Badass}}es thanks to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''.

There's also those who pair her with [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing the Villager]] as both of them are unexpected characters in ''Smash'' revealed at the same time who have BadassNormal tendencies.

This trope clearly applies more to Smash Bros and not Wii Fit.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Some hardcore gamers warmed up to the game and the trainers more after they were added to the fourth ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' game as [[UnexpectedCharacter seriously out-of-left-field character choices]], complete with an amusing launch trailer (for the female version). It helps that the entire ''Wii Fit'' fad (and Wii fad in general) died down a long time ago, with both the original and ''Plus'' eventually being outsold by a couple of Mario games, and ''Wii Fit U'' failing to make a splash.

* UncannyValley: Pale white skin, unmoving mouths, {{Stepford Smile|r}}s... those trainers can really creep out some people.
** Interestingly, ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' re-did their version of the Trainer model at the supposed request of the Wii Fit developers, perhaps suggesting a wish to make the Trainer less mannequin-like in a higher resolution game.

** Rhythm Boxing is a fun and challenging rhythm exercise where the player matches the movements of their instructor to a catchy tune. For as hard as getting a high score can be, taking on the robotic punching bag is both entertaining and cathartic, especially at the end where you get to wallop it however you feel.

Mistiming a jump or jumping while unbalanced will lead to an immediate fail, making clearing the exercise insanely difficult.
** Lotus Focus requires the player to remain perfectly still for a good three minutes to clear. While not sounding difficult on paper, the game throws several distractions the player’s way, including creaking footsteps, buzzing, moths occasionally flying onscreen, etc. Expect to see the Katsu symbol appear several times while playing this exercise.
