You could go with your basic fluorescent tube fixture ( http://homeharvest.com/homeharvest2000pics/HFFluorescentFixture48.jpg ). You could either hang them as shown or fasten them up to the ceiling. You can also get more decorator type models that would look better, if you’re concerned about that.

The ones shown are 48 inches long. A couple of these (two tubes each) end to end would definitely light up your shed. You could either operate then from a switch on the wall or even have a pull chain switch on each one.

florescent lighting with protective shields for the tubes would work or recess them in the roof rafters and but a chicken wire cage over them for protection

you want protection so as not to have shattered glass in your gym if they get hit.

a metal ceiling made from roofing materials will add to illumination if necessary

Fluorescents are your best option,site below shows weatherproof fittings,you’ll also need chain and fixings,look at sites below.Better hanging by chain since you have sloped ceiling,downlighters will not do.
