There seems to be no direct answer to this. The best way to find out is continue gyming and at the same time increase your chanting and add more sincerity to it. Then see what happens

Hare Krsna Usually a person goes to the gym to build muscle. What good are those extra muscles? Do you want to look better or be physically stronger? Gym makes the body stiff and there can be many injuries. The idea of body building Is to cause wear and tear in the muscle through a strenuous workout. For these muscles to repair in time for the next workout you need good rest and a rich protein diet. It becomes a full time occupation. A bodybuilder is constantly body conscious. The other extreme.
Hare Krsna
There are two kinds of strength-daiva and purusakara.
Daiva refers to the strength achieved from the Transcendence and purusakara refers to the strength organized by one's own intelligence and power.
Transcendental power is always superior to the power of the materialist.
Hare Krishna! Thank you all so much for your replies.
I have decided to keep away from gyming but at the same time try to stay healthy by eating satvik food and enough exercise(or yoga) to keep the body working well.
While gyming I will exposed to materialistic music in the background and that creeping desire to flaunt my results. I'm weak and I think I'd just be playing with fire if I tried to make such endeavors.
I remembered that Srila Prabhupada said that we should do what is necessary to just maintain the body and mind and focus the rest of our energy on going back home.
Thank you all again for helping me clear my mind. Please let me know if my approach is wrong or can be bettered.
Ayurved recommends yoga exercises, mainly breathing control which helps to control our wavering mind and connect it with supreme consciousness along with the by product.---healthy body. we donot know what our previous karma has in store for us. We dont know how long and how healthy we live. eat satvik food which is firstly offered to Lord Krishna and how much our body needs it.. Dont much bother about this material body. for everything depend on Krishna and perform your prescribed duty.
striving too much hard is not gud ,I agree;we need to develop oueselves on all fronts so that krishna's devotees be as knowledgeful as uddhav,as strong as arjun and doing bhakti as the chaianya mahaprabhu.The societ needs strong personalities in every aspect,May Krishna guide us.

But we hv to keep ourselves fit and strong in all planes,boosting physique(and not being mad for building muscles) by running,sports or gymming would help our mind to remain stressfree and make us feel strong within.......that can helpful in spritual life too
