Hello fellow lifters.
My partner and I are looking at opening a new "old school" hardcore gym (remember them?) late summer this year, if all goes well.
ATM all looks sweet (real sweet actually), however I have one small dilema.
I'm not too sure what to name my gym. Here's where I need help from you all.
So what do you think is a good or appropriate name for a hardcore gym?
Please... remember that it's not one of these new-age fitness centre craps, where people are more interested with how pretty they look and what's the next hit video on the MTV channel that'll come on. It'll be an old-school hardcore gym which predominantly caters for the powerlifters and bodybuilders; AKA the serious lifter.
So go ahead and give me some ideas on a gym name. All suggestions will be seriously considered.
And if we do happen to go with someones suggestion from this thread, I'll be sure to give them a lifetime membership :0))
Thanking you all for your time.

The gym for those who like lifting weights with a hardcore attitude. You could shorten that to "TGFTWLLWWAHA".

Oh wait, real gym names. I'm very bad with names, but what I would like to see in a name is something that scares bicep and chest people away. The Pit is nice.When looking out after yourself, use your head...
When looking out after others, use your heart.

Do not be restricted by any style
As there is no better or worse style
There is no superior art
There is only difference
All arts have the same basic principles
Develop what is your own

How 'bout "The Iron Palace?"The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

Theres an old church near me just begging to be made into a gym, so we figured the Temple of Pain or something.
Go for something either dirty sounding, or painful sounding and it should do the trick

And my all time personal favorite if its a hard core lifting gym, I have always thought "The Foundry" would be a very cool name.Signature donated to the memory of Raprazant.

If you tell us what you want the gym to look like, what theme you'll have going on, we could come up with better names.
My first thoughts would be:
Indomitable Vigor
or
Adamantine Force

how about "your last name" gym

I can't believe no one suggested 'The Dungeon' yet. It's short, simple, and sounds sweet: "I'm going to the dungeon, be back in an hour".
'Graceland' - I think a giant, ripped Elvis as a logo would be hilarious
'Mt. Olympus'
'The Graveyard' - if it's a 24 hour gym
'Hell's Haven'
hahaha My names suck!
