How does one properly utilize Gyms?
How do gyms work in general? Do my Pokemon battle others there? How are the stats taken into consideration if they do battle?
If I leave my Pokemon in a gym that I will not be returning to, can I get the Pokemon back?
Best Answer
If you get to a gym that is free, you can put one of your pokemon in there. If the gym's occupied by a player from another color, you will have to beat that player first.
If you put your pokemon inside a gym and it gets beaten, it will be returned to you.

Answer 2
When you find a allied gym fight it. It will increase the prestige of the gym causing more players to be able to hold it.
A group of friends and I always train at gyms after we caught them till its at least prestige 5 (if you beat a gym and take it over its 3) so players have a much tougher time dealing with them.
Be a team player and train your own gyms. Having a stable is better than capturing and losing gyms
Answer 3
I call them XP boosters. Once you have strong Pokemon (CP above 1200), find gyms of the two other teams. You can easily beat it using only 2 or more Pokemon. Battles usually last 1 minute or so. Once you beat them you get XP ranging from 150-500.
I have a Vaporeon with CP of 1210. It is strong enough it take out 4 Pokemon max and min 2. I have personally done this to increase my XP and move to higher levels.
And one more thing never place you Pokemon after you take out the gym. Just leave it move on and find another.
