After Xmas i am going to take the plunge into being a full time PT. I am already qualified but still dont confident enough in my knowledge- at the moment I am reading day and night!

Anyway, I need to think of a name to go under. I dont wanna be just 'Matt Greens Personal training'- that is just plain old dull! And all the others out there are called stupid things like 'fitn'fresh', 'fit2k', 'strong+toned', 'powercise' and other lame names.

I want something original and appealing- any ideas?

what is your unique selling point going to be?
Are you going to train at people's homes, out of your own studio, in gyms?
I would try to make it a name that incorporates where/how you train into the title.
I was Innovative Fitness as a trainer, but through my website and products, I am now AllAroundFitness.org

I chose AllAroundFitness for a few reasons, but the reason I still stick with the .org, is because it will refer people to my website, and no one can copy it. If they DO copy it, it would do me a favor, because I own the website.

I have another idea if I ever open my own place. Not a typical studio, far from it.


Have you seen
www.TrainClientsAtHome.com yet?

Please feel free to email me personally if I can help you out at all!

I am probably gonna be going to peoples homes as I have no intention of ever answering to another human being as long as I live! Although ideally I would like to have my own gym, maybe convert a garage or something...

My selling points:

Teach people in a way that they can carry on for life. Doing power sessions are all good but most people will stop when they stop seeing you if they have to really push themselves.

Fitness is a skill, not merely 'working out'. Strength is a neuromuscular skill, cardio should be done with good technique for max endurance and benefit and stretching is also a very skilled act.

Wes, I would love to purchase that, I am thirsty for knowledge. However, my PT course wasnt cheap so it is not possible ATM

Matt,
I sent you a private message

I think "Greens PT" or "Greens Personal Training" or "Greens fitness", something like that. I think its good to use your family name, people will remember you easier. Rather than you being "that guy from fit-tech" you'll also get your name put around more.
It also sounds much more professional.

Plus you got a lil gimic about "eating all your greens!"
Its a bit rude but in a cheeky sort of way that the ladys will prob like.

Plus you got less chance of someone starting a company will a similar name.

I was thinking 'Back to the Future' as a name.

Would this be illegal? Or could I change it slightly?

Green's IN yor face x-treeeeeeeemeeeeeeee personal training (echo) training training!

This sunday only

This sunday sunday sundayyyy

Or you could just call it "tae bo" and leave it at that.

??????????

I like your last name, so something along that line would be good. You cater to people who are "green" to the fitness field, so something like "Green to the Gym", or "Train Green", or "Hulk Smash"... Okay, that last one was goofy, but I was thinking green. Ponder on your last name to come up with something. Mine was just based on my initials, JP. It used to be "Jean-Paul Fitness", but I still used an icon that contained my initials, so the transition was rather easy when I decided to shorten it.

What about something to do with Superman/Supergirl?

Anyone got any ideas along these lines?

how about "superman's business" your fitness is my business

Hey, not bad for a first post!
