Am I the only one who finds this rather sacrilegious?

Hmm... I need to give this some more thought. There are a lot of factors at play here. What is the motivation of the company that made this product? What is the intended motivation of the customer? What are the songs on the CD? Do certain types of music affect the quality of exercising? If so, to what extent was that influential in the selection of music?

Most people would not argue against exercise being good for you. It's pretty safe to say that music does have some sort of affect on exercising as opposed to the lack thereof. Is this company saying that people should listen to praise and worship music while exercising? Is secular music not appropriate for Christians to exercise to, either in whole or in part? Indeed there is certain music that we would agree is not appropriate for Christians to listen to regardless of what they are doing, but it can also be said that not all praise and worship music is inherently good either. For example, some praise and worship songs are very Arminian.

What is the intended motivation of the customer?

Exercise - that's the purpose for which the CD was created, and what bothers me. It seems quite... err ... marketed.

it can also be said that not all praise and worship music is inherently good either.

True enough.
