gyms
Places with treadmills
Gyms is the plural of gym, a place equipped for physical exercise and training.
The word is short for gymnasium, though gym has largely replaced the longer form in everyday speech.
I've tried three different gyms in this neighborhood.
Gym also refers to the activity: I go to the gym every morning.
