The simple answer is that you don’t need a gym to get fit. Same as you don’t need a car to get around when you can just walk / cycle / uber. It just makes things more convenient for some people.
Personally I prefer to run on a treadmill in an air conditioned room rather that out in the sun, some people prefer otherwise and that’s fine too.
Lifting heavy things is great, but proper equipment makes it easier to have a balanced workout and is easy to use. It can also be helpful to have a specific place that you go away from home to work out to help get you in the right mental headspace. Necessary? Definitely not, but for me I know I would never have come so far in my fitness journey without the gym.
