How The Name 'Forsaken Fitness' Came About
Establishing a business name proved to be a transformative challenge that ultimately led to a profound breakthrough. Following weeks of contemplation, I arrived at a name that conveyed a powerful message, integrating the concept of fitness. I pondered the common struggle individuals face in their pursuit of fitness, and it soon became clear that approximately 70% of people initiate their fitness journey only to abandon it due to lack of visible results or diminished motivation. This realization inspired me to explore a term that encapsulates this phenomenon, leading me to the word 'forsaken.' By combining this term with 'fitness,' I created the name Forsaken Fitness, which filled me with a sense of accomplishment and purpose. However, I sought to further elevate my business by developing a slogan that would complement my name with added depth and significance. Having recently reembraced my faith in God after a 12-year hiatus as an atheist, I desired to establish my business on a foundation of faith and resilience. Reflecting on my own personal journey, I realized that I had abandoned both my fitness pursuits and my faith, only to rediscover them. This epiphany sparked a chain of thought, culminating in the idea of 'walking down the abandoned path.' This phrase infuses the name Forsaken Fitness with a dual meaning, symbolizing both the journey towards physical wellness and the path back to spiritual enlightenment. As someone who has rediscovered their faith, I am eager to share this message with others, while embracing the diversity of beliefs and perspectives. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where individuals can explore their faith and wellness journeys together, learning and growing as a community. Thus, Forsaken Fitness was established, with the guiding principle of “Walking Down The Abandoned Path.”
