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.
