A) You don't just take to the streets and win a civil war. Controlling the streets is more of a late stage move when you already have established elites and resources to back you.
B) PF always does something that is most convenient for leftist narrative building without actually accomplishing anything.
Those are the two primary critiques of PF, which always get ignored in favor of something about fitness as you just did. Lifting is good. Knowing how to fight is good. They are not simply not hurting my enemies in any meaningful way; they are helping my enemies by giving them more justification to hurt my friends, which is very bad.
No. The streets are the source of all power. That is where people live and work every day.
To pretend power is sourced elsewhere is fatal when a true movement requires action in the streets, not some obscure legislative body. Look how people cowered for BLM and antifa rioting. Because that was real, and Twitter world is not.
You've bought into all the liberal myths about organic bottom up revolutions, peaceful or otherwise. It's not the legislative bodies that are the concern. It is far more complex. There are many many nodes of power, from HR directors to sheriff's to the NYT to banks(particularly banks in current year). Mussolini already had established elite support when he marched on Rome as a coup de grace.
Look how people cowered for BLM and antifa rioting.
People cowered from BLM in places they already had allies in power. Antifa was easily scared off by a few guys with guns when those locals knew the sheriff or AG wasn't going to have them arrested for defending themselves.

No I understand that if you control people where they live and work your authority supersedes someone not present
