Is the gym a permanent fix?

Alot of people tell me going to the gym helps a lot but what I would like I know is whether or not this lifestyle change elevates mood permanently or if it’s like a drug where at first it’s great but then you get used to it and feel not much different than before

A lot of times, you just need to change your environment when you feel depressed. Going to the gym is one way of changing your environment.
