Workout Frequency at the Gym Elementary

ElshaYiu Thanks for pointing it out! We will fix it soon. Actually, the name of the sport is 健美 jian4mei3. This is a good question. The Chinese translation of gym and bodybuilding only differ in the second word.

ElshaYiu Chinese is interesting when literally translate the words to English. The third word pointed out by mikeinewshot is right. It is 假使 (jia3 shi3) which sounds similar to 驾驶 (jia4 shi3).
