Practically all my sims end up doing the fitness aspiration at some point. I'm quite blimpy myself, so don't want my sims to be. I just don't like my girls to end up too muscular, it doesn't look good on them. Home gyms are very common in my houses.

I like to visit the gym with my sims rather than use a home gym, because it helps keep unplayed townies fit too. The gym always fills up with unplayed sims if I bring a sim there during the day, and the most popular activities for unplayed sims is the treadmill and boxing bag. The weight lifting barely gets touched in comparison by autonomy. Helps keep unplayed sims fit without bulking them up.
I'm at the gym right now with a sim and every single treadmill is in use (8 total), 3 out of 4 boxing bags are in use, 5 sims are playing basketball, and 2 are swimming in the pool. In comparison, only 1 is on a weight machine.

That and I just like smaller homes and apartments the most for my played sims, so I rarely have room for a home gym.

Oh we do visit gyms, depending on where we are in our current play ("we" in this case is the sim and me). I have a lot of saves, especially now with scenarios. They really brought me back to the game. I've always done a challenge or another, but this is a lot better, since the goals are set by the game, not me :) I tend to go a bit lax with the rules :D I really only have small houses with cheap stuff in the beginning, but its not something I like. I can't live small. I want space for everything my sims might possibly need, I'll build basement if the lot is small. "Home gym" might just be a treadmill parked behind the sofa in the living room, so my sims can watch the cooking show while running. Two birds, one stone. Its practically the only TV my sims watch, while working out or eating :)
