Discussion on: What sport/physical activity would you recommend to someone who's not super sporty by nature?

Check if there's a local circus school near you that provides classes. From my experience, you find a bunch of diverse people, a sense of community, and fun/unusual classes such as handstands, acrobatics, aerial hoop/silks, and more.

Another piece of advice would be to try some sports that you never thought to try. I used to play on a basketball team and I miss the competitiveness. You forget you're working out because you're focused on winning the game. And you make some friends along the way, which can be more appealing than going to the gym solo and trying to motivate yourself.
