Not much, no - mostly for the atlas.txt stereotypical reasons. namely that I'm not very athletic, my 'mobile' skills (or whatever they call it) are pretty crappy and that I'm generally bad at most sports and don't enjoy it. My attitude towards gym class varied from year to year, based on the teacher, from genuinely trying my hardest to not trying much. It hardly helped that my PE classes throughout the grades were terribly boring and redundant - the same never-ending basketball, volleyball, baseball/softball and floor hockey units every single year, with very little change. I enjoyed it far more when it was track/field (I'm a pretty decent short-distance runner). A lot of PE teachers are pretty lazy domkops.
That being said, I don't think PE classes are a bad idea (until high school, when they shouldn't be mandatory) and the idea that we should abolish them so that the neckbeards would have more time to engage with higher intellectual activities is ridiculous (mind you, the idea of grading PE based on results/performance rather than effort is ridiculous too)
