Healthcoach took a survey on the number of days one should visit the gym.The link of the survey results is above the topic.

Exercise is just one part of being fit. You also need to eat well, sleep well, minimise stress and allow your body plenty of recovery time after workouts. So even if your schedule allows workouts 7 days a week (lucky you!), that’s definitely too much for your body.
Alternatively, don’t be fooled into thinking that because there’s a guy with an abundance of bulk who only visits the gym twice a week, that you need only go Mondays and Wednesdays too. People have very different responses to training, eat different food, have jobs ranging from very active to sedentary…or are just plain lucky with their genes!
If you’re desperate for a number of days, what you can do is look at your fitness goals . Do you want to:

LOSE WEIGHT?
First, remember that diet is a huge part of this. So while you might do 5 workouts a week, if you’re still stuffing your cake-hole with food your fat will linger for longer.
If you have a healthy diet, then exercising 4-5 times a week is a good number of gym sessions to aim for. Make these sessions a combination of weight-training and intense cardio such as
HIIT. This is the best way to burn calories and reveal your finest physique.

INCREASE MUSCLE SIZE?
If you want bigger muscles, then working out 2-3 times a week will build bulk, while 4 sessions will maximize your results.
Don’t just stick to the same exercises – varying your routine helps build muscle. Try the cable machine, do bodyweight exercises or challenge yourself with the battle ropes!

IMPROVE GENERAL FITNESS?
If you just want to have enough energy to go for a run in the park, look good on the beach and know you’re boosting your heart health, then go for the standard 3 gym visits a week. Sure, you may eat more junk one week or do an extra run the following week, but overall thrice weekly is the number to tick all your general fitness boxes.
Finally, the one time to avoid the gym is when you’re unwell. Stay at home, keep your germs away from other gym-goers. Then back to your workouts when you’re ready.
