Gym: A Place For Workout
A modern-day gymnasium (as a gym used to be called way back in Ancient Greece) is a place for an indoor physical workout where various equipment and machines are typically used. For some people, a typical gym is a place where you focus on weight lifting and similar activities.

While it is true that gyms used to be reserved for weight training and were rarely frequented by women, that’s not the case nowadays. Both men and women work out at the gym, and there is a great variety of machines, including cardiovascular machines.
Broadly speaking, gyms don’t offer as many group classes as a fitness center does. While there are personal trainers and 1-1 training sessions, group classes are not as common. Mind you, this applies to facilities that identify only as gyms, and not as gyms and fitness centers or health clubs.
