Exercise TV On Demand FiOS

[Tryna]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but Exercise TV was taken off of the VOD line up Jan. 1st 2012.  I have no idea why nor have I heard anything from Verizon regarding this change.  I just finished a live chat with a Verizon rep who is not sure if Exercise TV was in fact removed.  I read an article online on New Year's day stating that most cable and satellite companies would be removing Exercise TV from On Demand by the end of 2011.  The article did not specify a reason for this change.  I for one am not pleased at all by this decision.  I really enjoyed the exercise programs and would greatly appreciate Verizon FiOS to reinstate it in their TV line up.  Please let me know if you have heard anything in regards to this matter.  Maybe with enough pull we can get this program back on VOD

I am very disappointed that Exercise TV is no longer available On Demand.  Are there any other exercise programs that will be available in the channel line-ups in the near future,such as Fit TV?

The cost is more than a year's gym membership to begin with! Is Verizon trying to get us to join a Verizon gym too, to get more money out of us? One of the reasons I signed another two year contract was SPECIFICALLY for Exercise TV. The new "line up" is SO LAME. BRINGITBACKBRINGITBACKBRINGITBACK!  I am ready to break my contract.

Bring back On Demand Exercise TV. What were you thinking, Verizon? Not about the customer - which isn't really a surprise.

Dear Verizon,

Why don't you respond to our posts and give us a little feedback?

Sincerely,

A disappointed customer

P.S. Wish I could speak to a person who knows something about this, but the respresentative over the phone was clueless and told me the only venue for being heard was here. Any company that discourages dialog fails to be successful in my eye.

Very upset that exercise tv is not on fios anymore.  I used it faithfully everyday. I keep checking to see if they put it back on.

I see many people liked it.

Well, this forum confirms one thing - most people don't even read SOME posts on a thread before posting.   Verizon isn't perfect, but in this case all the posts slamming them for Exercise TV could have been avoided and time saved just from a little reading.

Well, since Exercise TV pulled the plug, is there any substitute?   I saw one post mention the Mag Rack... are there any non-VOD channels as well?

I TOO recently became a new Fios customer & left Xfinity believing to get a better deal. I got acquainted with the new Fios service, while seeking out the exercise videos that are always included with OnDemand. I then began taking the exercise classes from the Skoolz - Free line up that's located in On Demand. Then shortly after I switched to Fios, so did all of the exercise videos included with the Fios package! Certainly, Verizon is making enough money for the competition with Xfinity. More so than that, for the variety with care to delight & keep HAPPY CUSTOMERS [new & old]!!

Is Xfinity actually a better service, after all?

 I'm really upset over this! My favorite exercise videos were Ballet 1 & 2 & also Yoga.

I feel that many of us are being taken for granted by eliminating a popular free exercise video lineup, that emphasized a healthy way of life as a treat & method to motivation for quality lifestyle. Not entirely as a couch potato, either!

AGAIN  Exercise.tv's owners decided to shut it down for all carriers.  Xfinity, Verizon, and anyone else who carried it.  Nothing Verizon can do about it.

Youre talking about SportSkool. Because I too Recently switched to Fios & was very pleased with the OnDemand exercise network. I think it was available for only two months when suddenly ALL of OnDemand exercise videos had disappeared. Its quite upsetting because I really enjoyed Ballet 1, 2 & the different yoga videos.
