The joke with the parents at our gym would be start at the back of the alphabet. We are Airforce and always have to go first in our rotation and the parents are joking that we should change to Z-force so we can go last in the rotation, as there is only one gym in the state that comes before us in alphabetical order.

Think about a play on words or spelling, like Flipz or Flipsters. You could also consider gymnastics-type words that start with the same letter as the owner's name or the town. In Georgia, there is the Thomasville Twisters, for example. Another idea is something with powerful sounding words like thunder, lightening, etc. Hope some of this helps!

This is a good suggestion, we have a Flipz gym here in Missouri. I would never have come up with that one....you must be creative.

I like the ones from the town I grew up in Future Flipz and Apollo. I Like both names. DD current gym is a persons name. Sometimes just other names of gyms help come up with a knock off. I hate when they are the name of the owner. I asked my niece tonight if she could name a gym what would she name it. Here is what she said, lol.

Kart Wheelers
Tumbel Techs
Flippin Fun
Tumble Time
Tumble Rumble

I was looking at my J.A.G. Dvd and just thought what about something like that?

Not necessarily Jag, but same idea.

JAG
Jumping Acrobatic Girls lol I am sure you get the idea.

I vastly prefer "clean" sounding names, or even acronyms, rather than anything cutesy or trying too hard. Just a thing I have, I guess.

Another way to come up with ideas is to brainstorm. Sit down and write everything that comes to mind when you think of gymnastics. Just make a list, no editing. One word will lead to another and another. When you're done, you'll have a list of words to work with and something will spark an idea.
