Well, the original goal was for it to be workouts you do at home. The value proposition is that you can get a gym quality workout with a personal trainer in the comfort of your home without having to pay gym membership fees or for an expensive personal trainer. That said, we do plan on writing apps for both iOS and Andriod so you can take it with you to the gym if you would like to. It's not JUST body weight exercises though and we have exercises for dumbbells and exercise bands (things people are likely to have at home). And we do plan on adding exercises that incorporate gym or home gym equipment as well. The advantage over something like p90X or Insanity is that these workouts are customized for you based on your current fitness levels and your fitness goals by an actual personal trainer. Every workout is unique and different so you're not doing the same thing week in and week out. It's not just some generic program that is the same for everyone who is doing it.

Initially I am getting a strange feeling about the idea. It is likely just because I am not your target market. I work out 4-5 days a week and would rather pay the $40/month for a gym membership with top of the line equipment instead of the convenience of working out at home. The gym is where I let off steam by myself without the fiance right next to me. I don't want to shoot down your idea, but I do see a few problems with it... 1) At my gym, I can bring my fiance as my plus 1 every time. Your web app doesn't scale the same way. 2) Anyone that already works out has a major outlay of cash to spend to get up and running. Dumbbells, exercise bands, maybe a few kettle balls... PLUS the membership fee. 3) Solitude. I can't get away from my family when I am at home. At the gym I am in my own little world. For people that just exercise (ie no complex weight training) and are willing to watch it on their computer, I think the idea is great. But I also think you'll see more success if you target a specific class of gym-goers.
