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 health club locations.

I agree that a fitness club/center doesn't fit well as a sports centre - which I would visualize as having multiple types of facilities for competitive and/or community social purposes. I also think that "Fitness center" is the best overall category name; "xxx club" has negative or exclusive connotations in the US because of restrictive, scammy, or 1-sided contracts.

Regarding dojos, is there something that could apply more generally than
dojo (which seems to usually be used for martial arts)?  For example,
there is a fencing club near me, or what about a small aerobics or yoga
studio?

I run across the small sport fencing / aerobics / yoga / pilates types of facilities frequently. It would seem that

  leisure=pitch
  sport=yoga/pilates/areobic_dance/fence...

  could be fit as a stretch.  Otherwise it would equally fit as

  leisure=fitness_centre
  sport=yoga/pilates/areobic_dance/fence/mixed...

 Or

  leisure=fitness_centre
  weight_machines=yes
  aerobics=yes
  yoga=yes
  pilates=yes
  fencing=yes
