I’ll be honest, when I got the sign made I gifted there’d be more space for letters. Essentially, what we’ve got is a place for propaganda, comedy, and 50,000 eye balls driving by each day on Lincoln Blvd., but the space for writing is harder than Haiku in a second language.
Tons of ideas don’t make the cut.
Frankly, making the cut requires the message to advance the DEUCE brand and/or be funny and/or separate us from the atrocities of the fitness industry… that also doesn’t exceed ~12 characters per line.
That means, we’ve got plenty to put on that damn sign, to say the least.
Here are 13 marquee signs that didn’t make the cut:
- If your gym isn’t owned by private equity, are you even training?
- F45 is deepfake Tae Bo.
- LA’s 312 Nicest People Train Here.
- Less scary than your diet.
- Everyone loves us (except one neighbor).
- Bet you $5 we’re not a CrossFit Gym.
- It’s like Barry’s, except it works.
- Less dangerous than sitting all day.
- Surprisingly normal people.
- Workouts almost as good as the espresso.
- We hate jogging more than you.
- More fun than sitting on the 405.
- 50% Less Corny Than Gold’s
Feel free to submit your ideas. There’s little chance they are worse than ours.
