I do not see gym listed as a value for the tag amenity. I would like to
see it as a recognized key value for amenity. Taginfo,

shows 644 gym, 8 Gym and some forms of health_club.
Gym is defined as "A membership organization that provides a range of
facilities designed to improve and maintain physical fitness and
health." In my town of Seattle, neighborhoods have numerous gyms that
fit the definition.
What is the correct process to get gym approved. I'd also like to see
it added to potlatch2. I have found a public domain icon that could be
used.
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.
The term "gym" is ambiguous, as it can also mean gymnasium. ie a place
at a school for sports, or a place for doing gymnastics etc.
I think its best to avoid the term for tagging.
I would suggest a tag of something like "fitness_centre" or
"fitness_club", which are clearer what they mean. Also, it should
probably be under the key for leisure, not amenity.
So a tag of leisure=fitness_centre or leisure=fitness_club
