Exercising during Ramadan is an excellent thing to keep up. Of course, I wouldn't recommend starting anything too new or vigorous, but maintaining your pre-Ramadan routine is perfectly fine.
I exercise early in the morning because towards the evening I have no strength, lol. It is important to eat wisely for suhoor and iftaar so that you don't feel any weakness, proteins and sugars are important, other than that it is just having a balanced diet.
Dates, as we all know, are a superfood in Ramadan. I have some for suhoor and iftaar and I feel they make a real difference while I am fasting - no wonder they are a Sunnah.

I want to go gym in ramadan but is it a good idea or would it be bad for my health??
Assalam alaykum,
Exercising is excellent in ramadhan! It has a lot of health benefits.
However, if you're joining the gym for the first time, do not do any intensive exercise I.e lifting the heaviest weights and intensive cardio. Start small, maybe half hour of either lighter weight lifting or cardio everyday.
Also, do not exercise whilst fasting as you may become dehydrated. Exercise between iftar and suhur.
Remember to save exercising and workout when you finish Ramadan Inshallah because you do not want to fatigue your body.You could do walks and jogging but don't over do it.
