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.

Here in Germany, most health clubs (German: "Fitnesscenter" - a place where you go to work out on a treadmill or indoor rower or stuff like that) are tagged as leisure=sports_centre, even if they only occupy a standard-size shop/office floor. At the same time, whoever put that tag on the Mapnik map seemed to have in mind a relatively large installation, maybe a stadium or a multi-sports facility because these sports_centre objects are shown from z15 on. This leads to a relatively strange map display on zoom level 15 where it looks like these health clubs are important landmarks in the cityscape, e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.00699&lon=8.40329&zoom=15&layers=M ("Venice Beach Fitness", "Johnny M" - the only reason we don't see more of them is the name collision with street names.) I'd like to hear from others - is sports_centre the usual tag for such establishments and if so, should we maybe downgrade the rendering to z16?
