hit the gym
Go lift weights
Hit the gym means to go exercise at a fitness center.
The phrase emphasizes intention and effort—you don't just visit the gym, you hit it with purpose: I've been hitting the gym every morning before work.
Sometimes used more loosely for any workout routine, whether at an actual gym or not.
