Sports centres are usually big, often municipal with a swimming pool and the
like.
In the UK the smaller places you are describing would be called gyms.

amenity=gym is rarely used and the wiki page advises against using it
because it is ambiguous:
gym is a bit colloquial, but if it's already in use then go for it
(potential confusion for German speakers, I guess, but probably tolerable)

I have been using sport_centre for the very common facilities here in
Indonesia that feature a small pitch, a pool, a building for meetings, and

Hi,
I try to find a tag for a gymnasium (sports hall) in a school, for a
fitness centre in a shopping centre and other sports facilities, but I
realised there are no tags the community agreed on except for
leisure=sports_centre.
This is a complicated issue because of overlapping concepts, our

Namely:
- I wouldn't use leisure=gym as it is confusing.

leisure=gymnasium. Or
I would recommend not to use the word 'gymnasium, because it is
easily confused (and even recognised by google translate) as high
school in russian language.
We already have a lot of pitches mapped as stadium because a pitch
near the school is called stadium in ex-ussr :3

My school had a gym(nasium) and a sports hall. The latter was used for

Hi, just following up on the gym/fitness centre thread. I found the talk
page [1] where this discussion has apparently been going on for a couple
years (I know, shocking, isn't it?). I noticed a note on the bottom of the
page that a bot changed ~1500 gyms to sport=gymnastics!? Anyone know if
What you refer to as gym sounds like what I'd call a health club or
fitness club. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_club Is it supposed to
be tagged as sports centre? The wiki description makes me think a sports
centre is a pretty large structure, whereas there are some pretty small
