Wii Fit for expensing as fitness equipment


The blogger of the enthusiastically-named "Wii Fit is It" blog (is Coke not it anymore? Wasn't Coke it?) apparently works for a very progressive company. His workplace provides each employee a $150 allowance for exercise equipment or services. Instead of getting a gym membership or a Gazelle Edge (sorry, BallyTotalFitnessFanboy.com and TonyLittleFanboy.com), he got a copy of Wii Fit.

Apparently, the person in charge of approving the claims knew all about Wii Fit (possibly from having the television on or any magazine open at some point within the last few months) and was looking for a copy himself. It's nice to see Wii Fit treated like an actual exercise tool in some official capacity!
