   What is the difference between 'I hardly go to the gym' and 'hardly ever'?

   • Your first is fine. "I hardly go to the GYM." = "I hardly ever go to the GYM." To my mind there is no difference in meaning between the two. And please note that there is no need to capitalize the word "gym." It's not an acronym; it's a short form of "gymnasium." I disagree with Beryl. "Hardly" and "hardly ever" do not mean the same thing.
