In simplest terms, you gain xp and gold by training and/or holding a gym.
You can train an individual Pokémon at a gym the same color as yours. Once the prestige of that gym is maxed out at its current level, you can leave a Pokémon there to try to hold it. This would raise the level of your gym.
Taking a gym over let's you use 6 Pokémon to battle the one(s) holding it. There is more to choosing you 6 than one first thinks. Low level gyms are pretty easy (6 vs 1 or 2). Higher levels gyms are better left to trainers who spend all day (or money) playing. If there is 2 Pokémon guarding a gym, when you defeat them both, only 1 is left guarding it. When you defeat the last enemy you can claim the gym by leaving a Pokémon there.
Hope that is less confusing than it looks.
