"En fin de compte"


Explanation:
Please note that all the previous answers are correct.

However, "en fin de compte" is the best suitable option for your sentence:
"Lastly, there are not many places i can go to keep fit"

>>>En fin de compte, il n'y a pas beaucoup de gymnases/centres sportifs où aller pour me maintenir en forme.<<<

Like "lastly" in your context, "en fin de compte" means: AFTER ALL, there are not many options. (That's the conclusion you came to after analyzing/comparing/visiting etc. a lot of places).


HTH!

neutral  Richard Genest: we lack context to determine that it is a conclusion instead of the last point of an enumeration
55 mins
  -> Enumeration of what? The best indication that we have is the negative form used in the sentence>>LASTLY, THERE ARE NOT... If it were a mere factual statement, the adverb wouldn't be needed. The syntactic structure of the sentence points to the contrary.
