I agree that a fitness club/center doesn't fit well as a sports
centre - which I would visualize as having multiple types of facilities
for competitive and/or community social purposes. I also think that
"Fitness center" is the best overall category name; "xxx club" has
negative or exclusive connotations in the US because of restrictive,
scammy, or 1-sided contracts.

I run across the small sport fencing / aerobics / yoga / pilates
types of facilities frequently. It would seem that
leisure=pitch
sport=yoga/pilates/areobic_dance/fence...
could be fit as a stretch. Otherwise it would equally fit as
leisure=fitness_centre
sport=yoga/pilates/areobic_dance/fence/mixed...
Or
leisure=fitness_centre
weight_machines=yes
aerobics=yes
yoga=yes
pilates=yes
fencing=yes
