Exercise does increase metabolism depending on the types of exercise programs used and the duration of that training session. Aerobic exercise keeps resting metabolism rates boosted after the activity is complete, but only for a short time. Strength training, however, will increase overall metabolism over time, as muscle mass uses more calories overall to maintain, so as muscle is increased so is the metabolic rate needed to sustain that mass.
