I workout at a gym in addition to cycling. I do mostly workouts that I've seen described as "metabolic conditioning". I don't actually know nor care about the terminology too much, but my workouts definitely combine aerobic and anaerobic systems. You will definitely work your cardio fitness, and you'll also build some muscle or at least tone up.
You can do workouts with and without weights, indoors or outdoors. I usually make my own workouts borrowing stuff I see on youtube (FunkRoberts MMA, redefining strength). I find them really fun, and that they translate well to on the bike performance.
