Yes, exercise does improve mental health but you can’t just fix someone’s trauma and mental illness by having them pump iron, this isn’t a video game dude

Gym memberships are a lot cheaper than weekly therapy sessions. Group exercise regiments and making friends may help people go through their trauma with a good support group behind them. Therapy should be used but if you can’t pay for it this is one of the better alternatives
