hi. Going to the gym does not stop you from increasing in height. Height is based on genetics and nutrition. Make sure you consume 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates and 20% fats keeping the calorie intake at 2200 kcal per day. Making sure you provide your body good nutrition will certainly help prevent stunting of growth spurt.
