Translation

ジム / 体育館 / フィットネスクラブ

Meaning

A place equipped with exercise machines and space for physical training. 'She goes to the gym three times a week.' In English, 'gym' has two distinct meanings: (1) a fitness centre or health club where people exercise; (2) a school gymnasium — the large hall used for sports and PE lessons. The Japanese 'jimu' (ジム) usually means the fitness centre only, so be aware of the school PE hall meaning in English contexts.

Examples

• 仕事の後でジムに行く予定だ。
  I am planning to go to the gym after work.
• 体育の授業は体育館で行われる。
  PE class is held in the gym.
