I believe gente is singular, the same way that everyone is singular. - h1deaway, MAR 23, 2010
Everyone is singular because it is ¨every one¨ or ¨every single one¨. Both some and people are plural but algunas gente sounds wrong, and algunas gentes would be some peoples... as in races of people, I think. - Lrtward, MAR 23, 2010

Close. I can give you two options: "Algunas personas ejercitan para permanecer jóvenes y sanas" (Must make the plural agree all along)
"Algunas personas hacen ejercicio para ..."
If you wish to say "gente", to me it would sound better if you phrased it thus:
"Hay gente que ejercita para permanecer joven y sana"
