Going to the gym does give you some incredible new skills, though, just not in the way you would think. How useful is it to be able to properly pick up very heavy objects, or to be able to outrun 70% of the population?

You're definitely right about choosing your own path, though -- as long as you do something to stay in shape, you'll be alright. Any sport can bring useful new skills to the table.
