Sometimes parents have a reason for saying no that you don't understand. Perhaps she doesn't quite trust this friend or doesn't trust that you just want to exercise? Is it possible to approach your mother very respectfully and ask her what her feelings are about this subject? Maybe you could say something like, "Mom, I know that you want to see me take better care of my body. I feel like I want to start doing that by exercising a few days a week. It is important to me to have someone to work out with to use as a support system. I know you don't want me to go to __________'s house to do that. Would it be okay if __________ comes here instead?"
Maybe if she knew that you were really serious about the exercising, she would reconsider? You could even ask her to work out with you? You may not think that she is the ideal "work-out buddy"... but 1) it could be the start of a different relationship with her... which could help your cause, and 2) she may eventually want you to give her a break and, therefore, let you you do it with a friend instead.

Do it anyway. What's she going to do, pull you out of your friend's mom's car? I don't often advocate direct disobedience, but the fact is that your mother has been completely irrational. You're old enough to make a simple decision like working out for yourself.
Talk to her one more time. Begin the conversation asking for permission. Try to be reasonable, tell her what you want to do and that you want her to be alright with it.
If she becomes resistant, do what you need to do.

not gunna lie your mom makes no sense. tell her that you want to workout. there is no reason for her to say no. if she dioesnt want to drive you, she doesnt have to , tell her that u want to be healthy and ur just taknig her advice, since she told you you were overwieght. and next time she tells you your overwight, ask her what she wants you to do about it, since she wont let you workout. goodluck, please let me know how this goes.
