Microsoft Discontinues Xbox Fitness Programs To The Dismay Of Users

When it comes to physical fitness, there are numerous ways to get a workout: going to the gym, playing sports, jogging and even programs through gaming consoles. Well, most gaming consoles. As of Monday, Microsoft announced that they will be pulling the plug on the Xbox Fitness program through the Xbox One… and users are not happy.

Since the launch in 2013, customers had been able to make a one-time purchase of the program and then, in return, have access to the content indefinitely. That content will officially be discontinued on July 1st, 2017.
