Ah, I mean, i'm honestly not too excited for this. I was expecting a GP & EP since i'm kinda tired of the SP's, mostly because they only obtain one or two gameplay elements, but it's whatever I guess. Maybe the Generations type GP will be kinda fun. I don't know enough yet to judge it.
I'm curious what the gameplay object will be, but most likely this SP will fall into the "buy mostly for the CAS/Buy assets" category for me, unless the gameplay object is also available for children.
How EA/Maxis produce any packs and what they may consist of has changed with this iteration, so what one may have expected in the last two versions is not the same for Sims 4. I already accepted that Sims 4 will not reach that potential I want to see and will possibly not have the features to expand my creativity to the max.

I think that a new treadmill wouldn't be the "new gameplay object" in the Fitness SP... unless it comes with additional features/options. Personally I'd like to see an exercise bike. Have you noticed in the whim to go jogging, there's an icon of an exercise bike - but there is no exercise bike in the game?
They use that icon for "buy a piece of fitness equipment" as well. I'd also like an exercise bike -- more fitness related decor (maybe a weight rack similar to the ball rack for Bowling) would make a nice touch. My gyms could use a bit of a makeover, and I usually try to add a home gym when my Sims have earned enough money for one, especially if I have Sims in the Athletic career or any other career where you need to spend a lot of time on Fitness skill.

Yay, a sports stuff pack! This is great!!!! But if you want bowling, you have to buy that separately. I can live without bowling. They should have put it all in one pack. Nobody is going to buy bowling over this.

Fitness is not sports. Fitness has to do with getting in shape--jogging, running, Pilates, aerobics, etc. Sports is about competing in or playing games that require athletic ability. From the looks of it, it sounds like players will be getting fitness equipment and activities in this new SP, not anything having to do with sports.
I'm kind of shocked that they went with this theme because between sports and fitness, it's sports that has been the most requested next to the farm EP. I don't remember players requesting fitness except to ask for the exercise TV station back.

It's not broad at all. Fitness exclusively has to do with activities revolved around getting in shape, like jogging, jumping jacks, weights, aerobics, Pilates, jump roping, etc. Of course, people can do all kinds of other activities to get in shape (dancing, sports, etc.) but fitness itself specifically has to do with working out.

Sports would not fit into an SP, unless it was a single sport like....wait for it...BOWLING. To get multiple sports you'd need at least a GP.
Base game gyms and home gyms could use a makeover -- I've added yoga to some of the gyms with Spa Day, and built a basketball court in the basement of the gym in Windenburg after CL came out, but for those who don't have extra packs some new equipment and decor would be nice. Maybe an exercise bike or elliptical as another workout option, and decor like a free weight rack or towel shelf. They could even add or patch in the ability to workout with the TV or stereo like in Sims 3 (there could be a mat similar to the dance floor in GT that has a "Work Out Together" option). If Pets is coming out as rumored this fall, more workout clothes would be nice; you could throw on your workout outfit before taking your dog out for a walk in the morning.

I think it will mostly be things to give the gyms home and venues a facelift. If they add a weights for decor, I hope they add a bench press thing ( not sure of the exact name but I'm sure u know what I'm talking about. An exercise bike would be good too so would an elliptical.
I bet I know one thing they will add tho. . . surprise! a bar!
Lol
I was imagining a pack with uneven bars, parallel bars, an equipment horse, rings, balance beam, that sort of thing but of course, I am probably way off base.

Different type of bar, but I'd like to see a ballet barre added in that can be used by children, teens and adults.

You just described yourself why it is broad.
There are a lot of activities that can keep you in shape that aren't strictly speaking for fitness, but still keep you fit.
Now the fact that the teaser showed a treadmill and Graham said fitness means it'll probably center around something that is specifically about keeping you in shape and for little else. But my point still stands.
"Fitness" themed stuff pack...
I hope I am proven wrong on all counts but I can't help going to this dark place...
1. Another treadmill
2. Another weight bench
3. Another bar w/ bar stools [Probably disguised as a smoothie bar or something "health" oriented]
4. Another chair [Because when have they not added another chair]
5. Female: 5 new athletic-look hairstyles
6. Female: 50 skin tight, everything hanging out, spandex atrocities
7. Males: 1 headband / hat accessory
8. Males: Probably more cropped pants since apparently they're all the rage with every man I've never seen in my life...
9. Some version of a bathroom set
10. A new piece of gym equipment, with new animations, that has no extra functionality beyond raising athletic skill

You've got a keen insight there
Seriously when would they stop making tables and chairs?

I'd like that too.
I would love a rock climbing wall! Keeping my fingers crossed for that and archery
I hope the sleeveless hoodie is an upper clothing instead of an outfit.

Or, may be not...
Who knows what developers will put in the season pack?
Or what if they don't even make a season themed pack?
I guess I have become too pessimistic about the direction the company is going into..
Let's just hope for the best.
