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

You mean: leisure=sport_centre

I think a "fitness centre" is a bit different to a sports centre.
A fitness centre usually has facilities for weight lifting, and exercise machines, treadmills etc. Whereas a sports centre is usually larger, and has games halls, pitches etc. Though a lot of sports centres also include some sort of fitness centre within them.

So I think some sort of different tagging would be useful. Maybe fitness centres/gyms could be tagged as leisure=sports_centre + sport=fitness ?
