    Gym name Ideas?

    3 other trainers and I are opening a gym in Salt Lake City. Were having a brainstorming session today for names. Any ideas would be great! This is not a hardcore facility we would like to attract the general public but athletes as well.

    So far I have

    The only downfall with Golden Spike gym is running into legal problems with Golds Gym.

    I was thinking "Closed on Sundays" would be a funny/catchy name. But it sounds a little disrespectful even though it isn't intended to be. I also like "Hoppers Fitness Emporium" but I think that one is taken

    I think the name should somewhat cater to your clientele. What type of gym is it going to be?

    Mostly middle aged females.... However, we still do train athletes. So a name that can reach a happy medium is nice. No sissy nancy boy names but no hardcore names either.

    I'd stay away from religious words just to broaden your clientele.

    It really is a daunting process. Reminds me of coming up with a name for a band or perhaps a title for a song.

    Cedar Peak Fitness (or Gym) - lol sounds like a resort.

    Peak fitness. It has the fitness aspect. Touches on UT elevation. Non threatening.

    Holy crap. So much space. 5000 sq/ft+? of gym space? Thinking about astro turf at all?

    Where in Salt Lake is this gym going to be located? I actually live in Salt Lake and I would definitely be interested in checking this out once it's open.

    Amplified Fitness. Nice. I was going to suggest Alpha Fitness but I see you've already decided.

    The area looks nice. I'd love to see an updated video once it's finished!
    If I want your opinion, I'll ask you to fill out the necessary forms.
