See your asthma nurse or GP, request a review of your asthma meds against your increased symptoms. You'll probably be given a more appropriate inhaler and asked to monitor things over 8 to 10 weeks to ensure symptoms are being controlled effectively. If new neds don't work as expected, start process over with Asthma nurse or GP.

Hope you get things resolved to your satisfaction.

When I used the gym I'd have a puff of ventolin before exertion .As Poobah says, see your respiratory person it sounds as though your asthma isn't controlled sufficiently. P
