If you go to the gym for a cardio workout, you have $55 per month for gym membership. Some gyms actually charge extra for trainer programs, so you may even have an extra fee on top of that per month.
Xbox Live works out to $5 per month, plus a sub cost for Xbox Fitness. Conservatively I'll say it'll be $100 per year or generously rounding up $9.00 a month.
If, after one year of using it for free, getting to try out four different workout programs, and discovering which one works best for you, and the benefits of that program for you, you don't feel $14 per month is a reasonable fee to pay for a personalized workout program then I'm not sure what to suggest for you.
That is extremely inexpensive. And it isn't as if you've got nothing out of it. You still have an Xbox One that you can use for other entertainment purposes.
I will agree, however. The drop-off rate come December 2014 will likely be significant. How so, I don't know. However, if Microsoft advertises this in the right places, I think the uptake over the longhaul will be better than what people realize. My understanding is Zumba Fitness continues to sell well for the Xbox 360 and likely it'll do so with the Xbox One as well.
