health club
Exercise membership facility
A health club is a facility where people exercise and work out, typically offering gym equipment, fitness classes, and amenities like locker rooms, pools, or saunas.
Membership usually requires a fee, distinguishing health clubs from free public facilities.
The term is largely interchangeable with gym, though health club often suggests a broader range of services beyond basic weightlifting equipment.
I joined a health club to get back in shape.
