First details of Microsoft's proposed Xbox Fitness subscription leaked yesterday. The company later confirmed the program, with a brand new trailer showing exactly how celebrity trainers will yell at you.
Coming exclusively to Xbox One this holiday season, Xbox Fitness will give instant access to videos from P90X, Insanity, Jillian Michaels, Tracy Anderson, and more. The program will be free for all Xbox Live Gold members until December 2014. Afterwards, a separate Fitness subscription will be required (in addition to Xbox Live Gold).
Using the upgraded Kinect for Xbox One, Fitness will supposedly "track the quality of your performance," a key feature that Insanity's Shaun T recommends. "What makes Xbox Fitness so innovative is the feedback it gives you. The Kinect sensor can evaluate your form, tell how high you’re jumping, how hard you're punching and even read your heart rate," he said in the announcement. "It's that little missing piece of validation that hasn't been possible for home fitness products before. Xbox Fitness completes the puzzle."

I've been using video games as my main workout for about 4 years now, and I'm not really seeing anything in that trailer that surpasses what's available now. Better tracking would be great, but I don't give a shit about which "famous trainer" is on the screen or any extra sauce crap like that. In fact, bells and whistles are one of the problems with the current crop of games. They spend too much time loading and showing fancy animations between reps, for example.
Fuck, I wish a developer would come along and really nail this stuff. The Kinect has the potential to be such an awesome work tool.
