Your body needs rest days to recover - going at it full throttle every day is counterproductive and massively increases your injury risk. You can definitely train daily if you want, but then you should be working different muscle groups or doing light sessions, not always going all out.
If you go to the gym every day, it really depends on how intensely you're training. I notice with myself that light workout sessions on consecutive days aren't a problem - cardio, light weights, or stretching routines are fine. But once you start working hard with heavy weights or doing intense workouts, you definitely need rest days for muscle growth and recovery. Just going all out every single day is basically asking for overtraining and eventually injuries.
The problem is less about how often you go than how you approach it. I work out regularly myself and I've noticed that going to the gym daily works - but only if you train smart. Some days I do intense strength sessions, other days just light cardio or stretching. Recovery happens during lighter sessions too, not just on complete rest days.
A lot of people make the mistake of going all-out every single day. That actually leads to overtraining, burnout and injuries. But if you notice you still have energy and your body isn't beat up, you can definitely go daily - you just have to be flexible with intensity. Some days are naturally weaker, and that's okay. Watch for warning signs like chronic fatigue, constant muscle soreness, or noticeably declining performance - then you definitely need real rest days.
