Your solution would prevent more death, cost, and medical burden in the sense of CVD and other metabolic disorders. It would not fix a virus. If that was the case we wouldn't have as many illnesses in other, more healthy, countries.
I would argue cost would not be improved. It's still expensive for some people to get a gym membership or go to something like Camp Gladiator. Even virtual things. You'd have to purchase equipment and then find space to do so. It's cheaper than going to the hospital, but considering the vaccine is literally free, that point of saving money is moot.
I'm well aware being healthy directly impacts likelihood of getting ill. But again, it is not the right solution to the problem. It's beneficial and I fully agree with you that people should be working out and exercising regularly to help stay healthy.

I posted the cost burden on the medical system associated with smoking and obesity, 300 billion smokers 190 billion obesity. That is not including those 2 being comorbidities for Covid since that data is more recent.
480,000 smoking deaths.
300,000 obesity deaths.
We would not only help alleviate a large burden from a covid standpoint even 30% perhaps?
We would dramatically alleviate a larger burden from non covid issues.
The greatest possible benefit.
