Think if given the opportunity she would start again.

She has gotten 2 gym memberships in the last year or so and has gone 1-2/month so she cancelled them.
This wasn't an opportunity either time?
Take a look at her mom, this is where this is going. Does mom stay active? If not, there is probably no coming back. But you should definitely nag her about it, you can change her.

I think most people like the idea of working out and being disciplined, but it's tough putting it into action. Honestly, the only way you're going to maintain actually doing it, is if you enjoy it.
Champions love the work, pretenders love the idea.

No amount of shaming her is going to work. You out here trying to get the OP a divorce.
OP, how old is your wife? If she’s of an age that she’s getting into perimenopause, could be she may not have the energy for it and it could be effecting her mood/energy levels. Might be worth checking with her OB/GYN to make sure she’s in a good spot hormonally.
For myself, I had to teach myself that food is fuel and it’s a constant reminder than when I do workout I feel a lot better after the fact. If I haven’t worked out in awhile, I tend to forget that.
I also can’t just walk on a treadmill. I took up photography and birding and it has me walking a lot for distance and staying fit that way combined with counting macros.
