I was diagnosed with ankylosing spodylitis 2 years back. i've started to feel severe pain, i go for jogging.should i hit the gym ?

See details: Your question suggests the inflammation is not well controlled. Since you take no meds for this disorder, you can expect progressive pain and loss of motion. See a rheumatologist and start meds that can prevent disease progression before it is too late. Finally, stop smoking. This makes things worse.
