The most conclusive evidence is with aerobic exercise, primarily running. Most of the studys used 45 minautes of jogging a day. Aerobic exercise (not sure about weight training) boosts serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, PEA, endorphens, BDNF, and probably more undescovered.
A few studys have shown jogging to be equal or more effective than standard antidepressants.
