As Sunday is a Day of rest would it be wrong to exercise. I wouldn’t be going to a gym where people are working on Sunday so would this be okay?

Exercise is not forbidden.

CCC 2185 On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord’s Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body. Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest. The faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health.

The charity of truth seeks holy leisure- the necessity of charity accepts just work.
 
Hi-with me being in the air force reserves, we must take the PT test Sunday mornings and participate in the unit PT functions either on Saturday afternoons or Sunday mornings-I don’t believe that I am violating the Sabbath day-at least not intentionally. 👍🤷

Please get some spiritual direction from a holy priest who can help you see why this question is totally off base.
