Along with your new Xbox One you may well have gained a few unwanted pounds for Christmas and are considering ways to losing them. Should you opt for a gym membership or put the Xbox to good use by following the workouts on Xbox Fitness? Well, think no further and read on as TXH compare what’s available on Xbox fitness to the classes offered at the local gym.
Stevivor -- "Finishing up our recent conversation with Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, we put him through a lightning round-style series of questions we affectionately dubbed, 'What would it take?'"
Most likely another lie like when they said xbox one cant work without kinect. That they cant reverse drm policies. That xbox one exclusives wont be on pc and other lies. Probably its just a ruse to encroach on gamers freedom to own their games and a way to start to slowly implement drm again
It would be really cool If they could get it to work offline. It worked really well with kinect v2 and my friends and I enjoyed doing many of the workout routines.
You'd think MS would throw some money to these license holders so they could keep this game going, they've plenty money, so why didn't they? Might have been a simple business decision that it wasn't making enough money for them, nah, can't be, MS isn't like that, they are consumer friendly and not all about the money!
Nicholas Simonovski and Andy Gray, both of Stevivor -- "I can say with 100% certainty now that I will not be going digital anytime soon. The reason for me no longer considering digital game purchases is the decision Microsoft made last week concerning Xbox Fitness. For those who didn’t see it, Microsoft announced that it would be ceasing support for the application. On June 27th they removed it from the Xbox Store, not a huge deal as those who have purchased games in the past were still able to play them if they were de-listed."
Stevivor -- "Xbox Fitness fans have taken to Microsoft’s Xbox Voice website in an effort to keep the app alive."
This is one reason to like MS, they give users a voice and they actually listen to their customers. If they see people want a service they can keep it going or add it in. That's why we got BC and background music. Maybe they can release it as a download/retail disc?
There's no game that will ever replace going to the gym.

I go out on my bike for 60 mins everyday, It's FREE and you get wonderful fresh air!

if you just want to loose weight and gain very little muscle in the proccess,then yes jumping around in front of your TV is great.. i did it a long time ago and lost considerable amount of weight , but i wanted more from my body so i upgraded and got a gym membership..Never looked back.
However,fitness "games" like these are very convenient for people that can't afford a gym membership for some reason or have a hard time getting the motivation to go to a gym..
I think that outdoors cardiovascular activity is the best but if all else fails,these alternatives are a great way for people to improve their lives imo ..at least it's a start instead of getting obese and having health issues :)
Most of the time nobody really takes these fitness games serious..but just to put this out there, there's more to fitness than just jumping around your living room..
