I guess it really depends on the type of exercise, the type of training and the type of song. I personally have a feeling her songs aren't very good for jogging, though I've actually never tried it, so I can't really say much. On the spinning, the remix of fly high that was played worked well though. About her remixes being bland, many are, specially the newest non-fanmade ones, but she has her share of good remixes imo tbh.

I don't like that comparison either, because I don't think ayu has anything alike to madonna's career other than:
-One being the "queen of pop" and the other being the "queen of JPOP"
-They both being the most succesful female singers over the years in their countries.
-Both being trend setters, etc.
However musically, they are completely different. ayu sings more about abstractions of feelings, love, and her conflicts and her personal experiences. madonna is a little bolder in that aspect as she sings about sexual/political/racial/religious/etc issues, etc. Also the types of compositions they sing is completely different. ayu often likes guitars and stuff, madonna is more into eletronic beats.
However, it's not like I really cared much, I mean, I was more surprised to find an ayu fan in my city, since I personally don't know any (other than the very few I've converted into her lol). And well, whenever we find articles on ayu over the net these comparisons are way too common. ayu herself was once asked about what she felt being compared to madonna in an interview, and she said she admired madonna and everything, so it's not like it's a huge deal imo.
