Fitness Action Quality Assessment (AQA) is important for intelligent sports training, yet the capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in this setting remain underexplored. Existing benchmarks rely on action-specific annotation schemes and focus primarily on final assessment outputs, offering limited insight into how models assess exercise quality. We introduce FitAQA, a systematic benchmark for evaluating MLLMs in fitness AQA, containing 2,219 videos and 5,512 QA instances across 30 bodyweight exercises. In collaboration with experts in sports science, we develop a unified form error taxonomy that defines 38 recurring form errors within six complementary quality dimensions: alignment, symmetry, stability, coordination, tempo, and completeness. This taxonomy provides a shared assessment framework across different exercises. FitAQA further formulates three evaluation tasks: perception for recognizing relevant visual evidence, judgement for combining that evidence with domain knowledge to assess execution correctness, and temporal grounding for localizing form errors over time. Extensive evaluation shows that current MLLMs still struggle to assess exercise quality comprehensively and localize form errors precisely. Controlled experiments further indicate that visual perception is a key bottleneck, as judgement performance improves substantially when ground-truth perceptual evidence is provided.
