I Learned French in 12 Months

Poor corrections indeed. Using "dans" is less correct than the original "a". It's like saying to register "inside" a gym in English. Not the greatest choice of word unless you're really trying to point out the location.

In fact, the only correct correction among all that red is to replace "gym" by "salle de sport". Not to be confused with "gymnasium", it's similar but not the same thing.

The 4th line is misusing the future tense. Should have been pointed out.

No they’re equally correct. https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/fr-sinscrire-dans-à....

Both forms are equally correct in some cases but not all cases.

In this case, 'dans' is at the very least 'more correct' than 'à'.
