Is kayaking better than the gym?

Probably, I’d say most sports/activities would be better for most people than going to the gym, as far as general fitness is concerned. Exceptions being bodybuilders.

I remember doing the JP Morgan charity run a few times and noticing how unfit lots of the bodybuilder types from my company were, it’s not like they were particularly massive either, just a bit muscular.

Bodybuilders are some of the most unfit people I know!

Absolutely agree! I know a dude who said to me something like 'oh how come I got sick with coronavirus even though I am a sportsman!". And all his sport was to increase his muscle mass. So no fresh air, no immune system training, no blood vessels training etc. etc. So since then I believe that gym is fitness, not sports. And gym is good for the body shape, but that is not the same as health.
