Wii Fit U will be free until Jan. 31, so I guess Nintendo won this Holiday season.

This thread has nothing to do with WiiU or childish console wars.  If WiiU sells the most then congrats to nintendo?

Fitness subscription realy?

And just exactly what is a gym membership? 

I want to know how well this works. Curious how kinect fairs as a trainer since it can track your form. Could be great for Yoga.

Exactly, it is not a bad idea, indeed its a verry good idea, but the subscription takes it to another level, imo this wont workout lol

This app looks really nice. If it was on PS4 I would surely try it out (as long as it was for free). This additional stuff (like reading my pulse, my tempo, etc.) looks cool, but since I already have (and am a grad of! :D ) P90X, P90X2 and Insanity, I don't feel like paying $5 a month for it. Maybe if I didn't have it... But still, I'd rather just buy a given program instead of paying a monthly fee. I just don't like this way of paying for stuff.

A problem I could see with this is that I (and probably many other people) can't work out in the living room when the consoles are, so I wouldn't be able to use it anyway (carrying the moster that XO is back and forth is out of the question). A streaming device (a'la Vita TV) could solve the problem, but the costs grow...

Anyway, being objective this is a good product and qualitywise Wii Fit can't even come close to it. Is it targetted at casuals? I don't think so. I don't know about the other programs, but P90X and Insanity aren't workouts for typical casuals, you really need to be quite fit to just finish a workout (especially Insanity). This content isn't for casuals, it's not Wii Fit. Also Kinect > Balance Board.

PS. When you keep adding the costs of all the programs I just can't help but think that you can get all these movies for $0 in a certain bay :P Just saying ;)

In a gym membership you pay for the constant usage of the gym's assets. You keep using the water, electricity, air conditioning, the machines, etc. so one payment just wouldn't make sense. On the other hand you're not using their assets with this program. I see this more of a way to just drain $5-10 from people who think "oh, it's so cheap - I'm gonna try it out!" and possibly get much more from people who keep using it and don't know they can just buy the programs/actually are willing to keep paying for the little additional things that Kinect gives them. I know I'm alergic to this business model.

This is aimed at the true BroDudes..

If it gets lazy bums up and moving iit's a good thing regardless. Agree?
