And just exactly what is a gym membership? 

Access to facilities and equipment you don't own or have room for in your house. Not really the same thing as paying subs to fitness software using equipment you've already bought and have in your house.

It's more like having to pay Jane Fonda a monthly fee for using her workout videos, or Mel B if you don't know who Jane Fonda is.

I know who both are.  The fact remains both are fees for services.  There is a service included with Xbox Fitness, that is feedback and a personalized workout routine.  You don't get that with VHS tapes or DVDs.  You get a scripted workout with no feedback.

Why exactly is it necessary for a computer programme to use a fee for service mechanism to provide feedback and a personalised workout programme when is can simply run sophisticated algorithms to provide a workout, and all the necessary data and software is available to provide constant feedback? I don't see a service there that justifies an ongoing fee.
