I saw some screenshots of Wii Fit in an online magazine (US-based) and it seems like everything was in Imperial. Maybe there is a switch that permits changing measuring systems. Wii Sports is also Imperial through-and-through when it comes to golf and baseball, and there is no option to switch.
For what it's worth, I notice that random bits and pieces of exercise equipment are made in hard metric dimensions, and some use metric exclusively (rowing machines).
