gym
Indoor exercise space
A gym is a place for physical exercise and fitness training, typically equipped with weights, machines, and space for activities.
Short for gymnasium, gym is now the dominant form in everyday speech: I'm heading to the gym.
School gyms double as spaces for basketball, assemblies, and dances.
The adjective form appears in compounds: gym clothes, gym bag, gym rat.
