Respected brother/sister

It is not permissible to miss a compulsory fast in Ramadhan because you need to go gym. Going gym is not Fardh, the Ramadhan fast is.

There are countless benefits to fasting and this reason to miss fast would be a sinful act and questionable. Your duty is not to please people who tease you due to weight but to please Allah the creator.

May Allah (swt) give you strength in this month.

And Allah knows best
