Gyms are for guillable idiots with too much money, or actual proper sportsman.
Get a dog, or someone else's dog or cycle to work.

I live 42miles from work.. I'd like to get fit, but running that twice a day would just be ridiculous..and I'm sure it would put undue wear and tear on most dogs...

I'd LOVE to get a dog - but I just cant bring myself to leave a pet unattended for 10-12 hours a day, also I do some travel from time to time.. so..yeah Sadly a no go to the doggy idea..

That depends.
I live in a shithole in the Fens. There are no public footpaths other than the dogshit and 4x4 infested pavements, all of which stop outside the village boundaries. I could walk on the road; a life expectancy of over a minute would be pushing it.

Also, I cannot run due to most of my left knee joint going AWOL; I need a closed cycle exercise such as a rower or cross trainer to keep the lower leg from flying off at an angle.
