I've been consistently going for ~6 years now and honestly still love doing so. For me personally sports, working out, training etc. has been game changing in terms of how i live my life. So many good lessons can be learned in the gym, if you take it seriously.
For example, the process principle: For the past couple years, after an ACL tear I started doing body-weight and moved into calisthenics (gymnastics+strength stuff). I went and taught myself to do a handstand push-up, man I failed ALOT, I had to readjust ALOT and practice ALOT. But even the smallest successes became so satisfying. And oh man, the feeling when the same people who used to look at you funny when you fell on your face start to watch with awe as you look and smile at them while standing on your hands.
There are so many ways in which you can learn from things in the gym and training that can be applied elsewhere. Also, willing to put in the work speaks tons about your character. If you give up on your goals in the gym, chances are you're the sorta person who may also give up on his business goals. At least in my eyes...
