You make a muscle stronger by repeatedly exercising it. You can exercise it with physical labor in the world, or you can do specific, repeated exercises in a gym.

You make a behavior pattern stronger by repeatedly exercising the behaviors in the world. Or you can get coaching to do exercises in ProStar Coach, an online virtual gym and coaching system for working on personal strengths and people skills.

A gym is a place where you use exercise resources and coaching to get stronger. A physical fitness gym is for building physical strengths for physical strength and health.
