The issue is, obviously, that beyond health and sexiness, most modern people have no need for fitness at all.

I don't agree and think you're generalizing your viewpoint a bit too much. Having a well-functioning, capable body that doesn't squeak, creak, and complain as you do a variety of things -- other than sitting on a chair, that is -- is a pleasure in itself, beyond health and sexiness.
