Although this article is included as a bit of fun, this sort of brainstorming exercise can be really useful in figuring out what you like - and don’t like - in a business name. It’s a useful starting point for people who are hung up on the naming portion of their personal training business, and it even allows you to see if the domain is available, just in case you hit upon something that you love.
