I don't know if that guy is motivating me or getting ready to eat me.

Does it give me the copious amounts of cocaine these " famous trainers" are snorting up? Cuz that would be a sale.

If I would want to workout, I'd go to a Gym. When I turn on the device, I want to play :)

Does fitness people have any concept of "selling out"? Or is it such a natural part of their profession that they don't care anymore?

I still prefer the old fashion "Gym" to work out...

That's great, but you don't need a gym, at all, to get into good shape.

The thing that most people are missing when working out is support. Not equipment. You can get support at the gym if you go with friends or are lucky enough to meet good guys there. But if you're alone and you're the kind of guy that stops training over time due to lack of support; this could help you out.

Not everyone needs to be in prime condition. Doing something is better than nothing and if this gets people to work out regularly, then I don't see the problem.

It's not for me though.

Seems kool, I use the insanity thing to keep fit and this sort of thing could sway me towards the Xbox over the PS4, well that and Forza 5 and DR3.

Already have P90x and there's no monthly subscription for it like there is with this (on top of XBL Gold no less), so no, I think I'll pass.

If players are fit enough to leave the vicinity of the X-Box, they're not dedicated enough.

I dunno. P90X is a hell of a good workout if you're willing to give it a shot and not just stand there like a slob. If it's going to track my movements and log the workouts for me, that works.

I'm lucky/unlucky enough that the only space for a workout in our house is also the space in front of the TV (in our old house I had the whole basement to myself), so my Xbox One will be right in the "gym". With a little creativity I can get the bands and everything within range of the sensors, but I think that might be hard for a lot of people.

Also, LOL at the people who think these guys are using steroids. Y'all need to get out more. Once you've met somebody who actually uses, these guys will look A - Reasonable and B - Laid-back.
