athletic club

Fitness membership venue

An athletic club is a membership organization providing facilities for exercise, sports, and fitness activities.

These range from basic gyms to elaborate establishments with pools, tennis courts, and social amenities.

The term often implies something more upscale than a simple gym: She plays squash at her athletic club.

Some athletic clubs emphasize social networking alongside physical fitness.
