The gym is definitely the right place to be when you're heartbroken, but you should also not let yourself get our of shape when in a relationship. Focus on the gains all year round!

All you need to get into shape. I also just purchased a dip belt because dips and pull-ups have become pretty easy for me, I'm also using it to do weighted squats.

It's not a cure all for break ups but it's one thing that can help some people. It's also pretty generic advice which is why it's often given on Internet forums where we know very little about the situation.
It won't help everyone and it's only one small part of recovering.

It can really help put yourself in the proper mindset to improve things.

"Go lift brah," would be a shitty thing to say at any time.
I guess we have a difference of opinion about "sorry to hear that." That kind of stuff means absolutely nothing to me. Just like all of the "praying for xxx" or "xxx will be in our prayers" stuff I see whenever a tragedy hits. Zero meaning at all.
Got a YMCA near you? They are reasonable, and as a charity will actually decrease the cost of a membership if you make less than a certain month.
Mine has quite a nice gym in it, a pool, basketball courts, and a variety of cheap fitness classes. Some have an indoor or outdoor track.

Precisely. I understand the good intentions but stuff like that is meaningless. I did not claim getting in shape will help everyone and I did not promise it will cure your mental pain (because nothing does from one day to another) but it sure helps unlike anything I know.

You don't even need the gym for a legit good workout.
You just need a yoga mat unless you just want to sweat on your carpet.

Uh.... dude, that's on you. Watch some YouTube videos and do your own thing.

Honestly if another gym going friend of mine says hit the gym I'm going to hit them instead.

If I did not hit the gym, my depression would be MUCH WORSE. It's the little thing that helps me feel a bit proud and relieves the stress.
I may quit a lot of things when short on money: Game subscriptions, laser and electro, dying my hair, cinema, makeup, new clothes... but the gym is that little thing I consider vital for both my physical and mental health.

Too bad those untrained, weak arms of yours will make your hit ineffective. Might further encourage your friend to tell you that you really do need to hit the gym.
Push ups are free. So are dips, pull-ups, and crunches.
I'm not even sure what this could mean.

The experience is something like a combination of the feelings of a visit to a used car lot and a visit to a public restroom. I'd rather go outdoors.
