Free fitness training if you help me ...

[Dreamliner]

... come up for an ideal name for my business. I'm moving to LA (because LA needs another fitness trainer) and my sister there is preparing to re-engineer my website.

Hints: currently I'm Fitness by Dale. But the name needs to convey utter simplicity. No, I mean bare-bones simplicity. I mean standing the face of food and fitness fads. Unfortunately, 'Fad-Free Fitness' is already taken. :(

Suggestions ?

[Wuerffel5220]

Just Lose It

[helix139]

Average Joe's or Globogym ;)

[kkg8r]

I've got nothing right now. But when I do come up with the best name, you can be sure I'll buy the URL and sell it back to you for a good price :)

[Dreamliner]

Good start so far. and they told me I'd have to keep an eye on kk. :wink:

[supagator]

Supa' fit!

[Dreamliner]

Supa' fit!

Does that mean you get royalties ? :gulps:

K.I.S.S. Training

I wouldn't try it in San Fran, but it just might work in LA.

It could work. And I am open to finding a new mate out there. Maybe a rich starlet who will take me in.

The Gym

[exiledgator]

You're a Gym?

Uragym?

[exiledgator]

Your gym

[ArtVandelay]

LA Fitness...

It's perfect because you are in LA and you are doing Fitness...

If that name works out, I expect some royalties...

[Dreamliner]

Suggestions duly-noted. Just throwing this out there, since nothing would describe me more appropriately:

Not Another Fitness Trainer

My elevator speech might be something like, "Hi, I'm Dale with Not Another Fitness Trainer, because LA doesn't need another fitness trainer."

[Dreamliner]

Note: if I end up choosing the name myself, I'll come up with some sort of first come, first serve consolation prize for those of you who've responded. Otherwise, previous offer stands if somebody blows me away with their suggestion (not that these aren't viable suggestions).

Your gym

One of my taglines is "I'll show you how to use the body you have to get the body you want." That's in response to "Do I need equipment ?" or "Do I need to join a gym ?"

[OaktownGator]

Embrace the fads... with Future Fitness... where your new work out is already out dated. :joecool:

[Dreamliner]

Two more possibilities:

I Can Has Cheezeburger Fitness

Because Just Shut Up Fitness

[tegator80]

Simply Fit

[Allanon]

California Dreamin'

[TheGator]

Get ripped.

[TheGator]

Body by Dale.


Got muscles?

[Dreamliner]

Simply Fit

When I became a fitness trainer originally, that was one of my very first choices. Sadly, it was taken. That's why my original tagline became: "Keep It Simple."

[Allanon]

Perhaps, Dream Body.

[Dreamliner]

California Dreamin'

Hey, I like that.

[Dreamliner]

Body by Dale.


Got muscles?

Problem is I'm so skinny prospective clients are bound to ask, "Why doesn't Dale have them ?"

[Dreamliner]

Other names which might have been appropriate to my approach but which were already taken:

Sane Fitness
Fitness Sanity
Simple Fitness

[boatdrinks]

West Coast Wellness.

[Gatorrick22]

Exdale Fitness.

[Gatorrick22]

Purity Wellness.

[Gatorrick22]

Harmony Fitness

[Allanon]

Hey, I like that.

What do I win?

[JaxLizard]

Totally Fit! Dude.

[channingcrowderhungry]

Hey, I like that.

I'd think from a marketing standpoint you'd want "fitness" or "gym" in the name. Just my 2 cents

No Bull Fitness
Get Fit

[Dreamliner]

What do I win?

It's still early, but here's a free tip: eat less, move more. :wink:

[Dreamliner]

No Bull Fitness

I had thought about that since essentially I'm helping people with what they consider to be fitness goals. Would 'Not Another Fitness Trainer' not convey fitness, albeit in an offhanded way ?

[Allanon]

It's still early, but here's a free tip: eat less, move more. :wink:

I fall in the move more category. I just can't handle the eat less category.

[channingcrowderhungry]

Is this going on a storefront at first?

[Dreamliner]

I fall in the move more category. I just can't handle the eat less category.

Now you know why I don't lead with 'eat less.' It would likely scare away all my potential cusotmers. But I'd like to think that's because they simply cannot envision, at present, a way of doing that that doesn't leave them feeling deprived.

[Dreamliner]

Is this going on a storefront at first?

No facility, just my website, LLC and on marketing materials.

[G8trGr8t]

Fit For U...a program designed just for U

[channingcrowderhungry]

I had thought about that since essentially I'm helping people with what they consider to be fitness goals. Would 'Not Another Fitness Trainer' not convey fitness, albeit in an offhanded way ?

Gotta think there is a reason almost every major brand in the US is two words or less. Again, my two cents.

Abnormal fitness.

If that name works out, I expect some royalties...

If that name works out, you can expect to hear from a few lawyers😃 it's already tradenarked😁

[tegator80]

Dude, Where's My Muscles?

On a more serious note, how about My Way Workouts?

[secgator]

Hissy Fit

[Gatormb]

Now you know why I don't lead with 'eat less.' It would likely scare away all my potential customers. But I'd like to think that's because they simply cannot envision, at present, a way of doing that that doesn't leave them feeling deprived.

A tip back at ya. They're clients not customers. More personal.

[Dreamliner]

Or maybe My Way Or The Highway Workouts ?

[Dreamliner]

A tip back at ya. They're clients not customers. More personal.

Yeah, don't know why I used the term. I always refer to them as either clients or people I work with or people I help, etc.

[SydneySLee]

Do IT!

Intense Training, that is.

[Dreamliner]

Is You Can Do Eeet! too many words ? It might work in East LA.

Thanks for remembering. I'm v-e-r-y close. I'll announce soon. And will be good on my promise.

GURD Fitness.......GET UR DONE! :)

Hehe, pop quiz: where did the saying, "Git'r done!" come from ?

Hint: it wasn't Larry the Cable guy. And it wasn't a redneck of any sort.

[JimBobTheClown]

Get abs: get ass

[gatormoe1]

Tits or GTFO

[swoosh69]

Fit for LA
True Fitness
The Body Building

[Dreamliner]

Lots of good stuff here. Some of these names would require an alternative X-Rated website. Not saying that I'll rule that out entirely as I don't want to rule out the crucial skank demographic.

[mastoidbone]

Super
Hot
Intensive
Trainer

[Dreamliner]

Or how about C.I.A. (Cycle Italian Alps) ?

It works for you. Of course, it might be expensive for some of my clients.

Seriously, a woman ask me the other day if I could transform her into a blue-eyed Italian. I told her yes ... but not at standard rates. :laugh:

[Jaggator]

Suggestions ?

The Fitness Guru

guru: a : a teacher and especially intellectual guide in matters of fundamental concern
b : one who is an acknowledged leader or chief proponent
c : a person with knowledge or expertise : expert

[Dreamliner]

Well, I am an acknowledged leader. Problem is not many acknowledge it yet. :wink:

[desoto87]

Fitness Consultant

Charge 50 to 100 percent more than typical trainers. You will spend the same time selling but make more per client....

Think merecedz Benz of fitness....act big.

[phatGator]

GURD Fitness.......GET UR DONE! :)

My first thought was getting acid reflux after a workout. :-) But then that's GERD.

[deathroll]

Gotta be VERY careful here. Absolute last thing I want to do is screw up and accidentally win myself some fitness training. That said, I do have a suggestion that may help. Go online and look at other cities yellow pages. Find (borrow) a name, or inspiration for a name, there.

[swampbabe]

How about Your Body, Your Way. Really sell the personalization of your service. Create some ownership by your client in their fitness goals.

Consultation, as opposed to training, is essentially what I do. However, I hope that the LA market is considerably different than the Orlando market. In Orlando, I've been hard-pressed to get a one-time fee that's not much more than the typical fitness trainer charges for a single exercise session.

More good suggestions, including the yellow pages suggestion. There is also a book entitled "Body By You."

On GERD, I could have them eat before I work them out, have them doing wall-supported handstands and various upside down stuff and lots of bending over, especially the chicks.

[Dreamliner]

I do like the emphasis on what your body looks like. I don't really care about 'health.' Hardly ever mention it.

[Dreamliner]

One of my catchphrases is: "I'll show you how to use the body you have to get the body you want!"

[thedyc09]

Late to the party but if you crave simplicity, use punctuation rather than wordplay to jazz it up.

Fit. is good. Fit! is better. Fit? is a little bit forward of you.

Better Body. Forever.

Like that ?

[thedyc09]

Better Body. Forever.

Exactly. Maybe a better slogan (sounds like something from a bowflex commercial) than a company name, but hey, it never hurts to stand out.

I might use that as my tag-line. The company name is not going to be catchy. It's going to be something that leaves people scratching their heads, which is what I want them to do.

[The_Ultimate_Gator]

Dale's Dead Bug

[Dreamliner]

Dale's Dead Bug

The women would go for that. They're crazy for 'core exercises.'

[deathroll]

More good suggestions, including the yellow pages suggestion.

FWIW, we did this when my brother was looking to name his aquarium store. We found, "The Wet Pet". Store has been open for 25 years now.

[gatorz]

Resolutions! If you want to know why I will explain.

[Dreamliner]

Resolutions! If you want to know why I will explain.

Go ahead. I'm generally wary of the resolutions concept, but you might surprise me!

[gatorz]

It was a joke I heard. You call it resolutions because two months down the road when everyone is no longer working out, you can turn it into a bar under the same name!

[gatorz]

Seriously tho, I wish you much success with it.

[Dreamliner]

Seriously tho, I wish you much success with it.

Thanks!

[The_Ultimate_Gator]

The proper response is, "That's a Gribble of an idea!"

[Allanon]

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, Dream Fit.

[Dreamliner]

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I've decided on the name "Not Another Fitness Trainer" as nothing describes what I do better. Tagline will be "Better Body. Forever." as my overarching emphasis is on sustainability.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for the many good suggestions, well-wishes and solid feedback.

AS PROMISED: free training for the first three to PM me.

NOTE: there are some stipulations attached to the free training, but I think that most will find them agreeable. If not, I just go to the next PM.

RELEASE THE HOUNDS!

[LeafUF]

The proper response is, "That's a Gribble of an idea!"

I get it

[Dreamliner]

Still one slot remaining!
