It's not just about motivation and self discipline, but your body needs recovery days.
>high level of motivation and self discipline to go 3 times a week.
I don't really have the time for gym but going feels so good so I can see why someone who does have the time might go 7 days a week.

People really differ, don't we?
I can only imagine what it would feel like to enjoy working out!

During my the year before my BA started and in the first year of it, I went 4 - 5 days a week, including Sauna afterwards.
Thats easy if you have no responsibility
Agreed, I like to repeat beneficial things as much as possible but one day your body will send you the bill. There will be some exceptional people that can do that after their 30s but giving you 2 or 3 days of rest is probably the right amount
This doesn't take into account that your body requires rest, and I don't know how op thinks you can combine this with an active sport like skiing, or something creative like music. You will be drained already from the gym.
