Enjoy the gym: Hernia repair should be well-healed after one month. If there is pain at or under the incision, see your surgeon. Otherwise, enjoy your workout.

Activity as tolerate: Sounds like it was a small belly button hernia. Regardless of where the hernia was repaired, i tell my patients to return to normal activity as tolerated by pain and discomfort. Use common sense though, and no need to be a hero. You can always call your surgeon if you think something is wrong.
