Coming Up With Unique Fitness Blog Names
Want to know the secret of coming up with a unique and creative fitness blog name? The answer is combining different keywords with proven frameworks until you hit on the perfect combo…
Start by making a list of words related to your blog. Here are some prompts to help you brainstorm a varied list of words…
- What type of training or workout methods will you focus on?
- Who will you be creating your content for?
- Are there any values you want your blog to stand for?
Only include words that you find really appealing – there’s no point in adding to the list just for the sake of it. Once you have a list of keywords, it’s time to convert them into creative fitness blog names…

Have you ever noticed that fitness blog names often adhere to set patterns? Well, we’ve identified the most effective ones and turned them into formulas that you can use for your own blog…
They’ll help you organise your ideas, and test out how they work as real-life blog names. This is how leading marketing agencies and global companies approach brand naming.
Firstly, pick one or two formulas that appeal to you from the following…
- [Keyword] + Fitness (e.g. Badass Fitness, Loona Fitness)
- [Keyword] + Blog or Online (e.g. Bendiful Blog, Jog Blog, MizFit Online)
- [Keyword] + Body (e.g. Yoga Body, Calisthenics Body)
- [Keyword] + Workout or Method (e.g. Barista Workout, Weck Method, The Bar Method)
- Your Name + [Keyword] (e.g. Roman Fitness Systems, Nathalie Jill Fitness)
- Your Audience + [Keyword] (e.g. Nerd Fitness, Black Girls Run!)
- The [Keyword] [Professional] (e.g. The Food Medic)
- Location + [Keyword] (e.g. London Fitness Foodie, Tokyo Glow)
- [Keyword]∼nomics (e.g. Physiqonomics, Healthynomics, Yoginomics)
- The [Keyword] Club (e.g. The Motivation Club)
- [Keyword] Diaries (e.g. Mom Fitness Diary, Fit Girl’s Diary, Gym Bag Diaries)
- [Keyword] & or On [Keyword] (e.g. Nourish & Sweat, Fit & Feminist, Running On Real Food)
- [Keyword] [Keyword] [Keyword] (e.g. Fit Happy Soul, Run Eat Repeat)
Next try inserting all your keywords into the formulas, to test which combinations work the best. You don’t need to write down all the possible combinations – you can do this part verbally. But do write down your favourites, narrowing your list to 3-5 creative fitness blog names.
Top tip ⇒ Another popular approach is for fitness blog names to be based on a commonly used phrase. Spot Me Bro and Run To The Finish would both fall into this category, however we haven’t figured out a full-proof formula for this option yet! So you’ll either need to wait for inspiration to strike, or try to track which fitness phrases you use most often.
Fitness Blogging Success Strategies [Mini-Guide]
Once you have a shortlist, do some due diligence. You want to make sure that your fitness blog name isn’t already being used by another company.
Here’s how you do it…
- Google. Do a Google search for the blog name, and use quotation marks to ensure you only get exact matches. So if Tokyo Glow is your idea, then you need to enter “Tokyo Glow” into Google.
- Facebook. Perform the same search using Facebook. This will help you find any blogs with similar names that don’t rank highly on Google.
- Trademark. Do a trademark search to find any blogs or companies who’ve already registered the name. The United States Patents & Trademarks Office or UK Intellectual Property Office (or the equivalent site for your own country) have free online search tools.
- Website Domain. Run a domain name search to see if the website address or URL is available. GoDaddy and NameCheap both have easy-to-use search tools and low registration prices (plus they’ll suggest alternatives if it isn’t available).
If your short-listed names pass all the above, then it’s time to make a choice! From this selection of fitness blog names, you’re sure to have several options that are not only awesome but unique and available too.
The hardest part here will be to narrow down which one is your favourite! But we think that’s a kind of nice problem to have…
