Hello dear lybrate-user, Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* It is not recommended to join gym with inguinal hernia condition ,as the exercises involving pelvic muscles will weaken the underlying defect more.* Surgery is the only solution as you know, so better you get better for you rather than delaying for longer period of time as there is future chances of obstruction of intestine inside the hernia creating an emergency also. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.
