Same. I even went pretty regularly for months and tried all the different workouts and while I was in better shape, none of it was enjoyable in any way.
There is definitely a huge difference after 6 months of focusing on one thing. I've done hot yoga off and on over about 12 years and I'd say it took 6 months of going consistently before I felt like my body adjusted and it was more enjoyable. After 2 years I didn't feel like I was going to die and it actually became very enjoyable.
I've fallen off recently because it's easier to sit around and initially it does suck because you need to readjust. But I when I had gone 2-3x in a week, man I felt like a god. I started going in my 20s, I was high af all the time and knew I needed some exercise or I was gonna die.
I think it takes a certain person to love lifting weights of all things. But luckily there are lots of things out there
Two years for it to become enjoyable? What is it, a JRPG?
