Gym allows me to safely play sports, run around after the dog, swim without feeling like drowning is inevitable etc

I'm not a gym nut by any stretch of the imagination but as I approach middle age I can't be as spontaneous with breaking into a run or lifting heavy things. Too many injuries and anatomical idiosyncracies have built up over the years.

The gym maintains all my muscles so I can use them when I want without injury. It's made a big difference going about 2-3 times a week for 45 min. Then I can do all the stuff I enjoy (mostly all outdoors) without worrying about a tweak or a joint blow out.
