Ramadan is not for spending down the gym. 30 days rest from exercise must be undertaken, instead time must be spent on concentrated worship and focus on Allah . Every second of Ramadan should be considered as very valuable and not to be wasted on unnecessary actions. It is like an employee in their job usually getting paid 20 dollars an hour, and the boss tells the employee that for one month only they will get $500 an hour....that employee will work as many hours as they can for that month, knowing that they are getting lots of money and they will be able to rest when it ends. Ramadan is looked at like this by the advanced awliya Allah (or friends of Allah).

Bro, going to the gym can be an act of worship also. If you are doing it for the sake of Allah to stay and healthy and fit, which is also a part of Islam.

30 days rest from Gym is not a good hing to do if you go to gym regularly. If you do this then you'll lose all the muscle you had previously gained, so all those days you worked out will have gone to waste. Of course we will also do dhikr and Qur'an recitation and many other good deeds, but we'll have time for the gym also.
