It comes from the Greek words meaning "the place of nakedness" since the Greeks always exercised in the nude. Greek gymnasia were places where you could exercise, bathe, get a massage, relax and talk to your neighbours. The Roman baths were the same. The modern meaning of "gymnasium" is a place where you exercise. With clothes on.
