I’m not an outdoorsy person but I totally get where OP is coming from. Riding a bike on a trail is a completely different experience than riding a bike in a gym or at home, regardless of how engaging a spin instructor might be.

OP, depending on where you live you may have to reserve hikes for the weekend. If you’re in DC Rock Creek Park is hilly Af.

Have you tried any sports? Pickle ball, tennis, golf (no cart and carry clubs)? How about swimming? It’s also boring but there’s the excitement of possibly drowning I guess

Indoor climbing
Sports team? That would be more of an activity.
Ice skating if you have an indoor ronni near you.
Exercise class

It is going to sound strange, but have you tried swimming? It has a “be one with the water” kind of feel similar to nature. But of course the water is a man made chlorine-filled hole.

Mix up Orange Theory, running outside, and Peloton.
