Felt this deserved its own thread.. I don't want to derail the original thread..
From Microsoft's website: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/games/xbox-fitness#1-2:
Work out smarter with famous trainers

*Xbox Fitness coming Holiday 2013. Starting January 2015, unlimited access requires a paid Xbox Fitness Pass subscription and an Xbox Live Gold membership (both sold separately). Additional Xbox Fitness content is available for purchase, and may vary over time. See xbox.com/xboxfitness.
So it appears to be quite the deal given the cost of P90X and Insanity so I was quite excited as I was already looking into those. In fact I would say this was my deciding factor in not cancelling my Xbox One which should arrive at my house later today.
But after looking at multiple review sites you have to pay for some of the good videos. For example $26AUD ($24USD) for two Jillian Michaels videos:

More of a sample than a fully featured product imo.
Still plenty of good free content here, but don't expect to be following a P90X or Insanity two month calendar program.
Which is what I feel Microsoft led me to believe. What's worse is after you pay money to unlock certain videos, you dont own them either, because they are still behind the Live Gold Paywall.
So for me, I feel this is yet another 180 from Microsoft and a betrayal of trust. Can anyone who has an Xbox One provide more details I can add to the op? How much is free, not free?
Adding more feedback:
From JaggedSac:
The videos are legit workout videos. The thing I am now noticing is that the free ones are basically one or two videos from a workout set. They provide a button to buy the DVDs to these sets, lol. There is a decent mix of workout types so you could hobble together something resembling a plan. There really isn't too many videos on here and it is easy to see why they made this thing fee with Gold, there isn't enough content to warrant a sub.
From PorkFryRice:
10 minute and 20 minute solutions are Free with Gold. They range from Belly Fat Burner to Cardio Kickboxing. Too many to list.
Mossa, P90X, Insanity all have Free with Gold but i think those are limited to a certain workouts. Right now i see Mossa Fight Workout 1 and Mossa Core Workout 1 are Free with Gold for example.
There are some like Tracy Anderson and Jillian Michaels with prices and "Free Workout" underneath them.
