If you are mostly concerned with staying healthy and really really hate the gym, then I'd recommend focusing on your dietary habits instead. In my experience, working off bad calories is a lot harder than simply not consuming them in the first place. Also, certain meal patterns like one-meal-a-day and intermittent fasting (i.e. eat every other day) can provoke exercise-like effects in participants. Which do you hate more - not having that 2nd cookie, or driving to the gym? I'd still recommend getting off your ass as much as possible in any arrangement. Standing desk and what not.
