Gym Neon Signs – Ultimate Guide – Professional Advice

In this article, I delve into the big topic of neon gym signs. I walk through the decision-making process and reasons to get a neon sign for a gym, the benefits, some ideas on what kind of signs might suit a gym, and how to place that neon sign in the actual workout space.

Let’s dive in.

Motivation Matters

Gyms make it their business to motivate and inspire. Everyone who goes to the gym knows that motivation in sports matters. If you’re working out or striving to gain muscle or fitness, motivation is the difference between a good workout and a poor one.

The goal of every workout should be to challenge yourself to achieve your personal best. Your motivation can distinguish between reaching for your best and falling flat near your worst. Simple self-affirming affirmations when working out, like “You can do it” and “Come on,” help you achieve personal bests and hit new highs.

This is why more general inspirational signs or messages on a gym’s walls can challenge patrons to push for their best – to be better.

Gym neon signs are more than just decorative elements; they play a crucial role in enhancing the motivational atmosphere of a gym.

Here’s how these vibrant signs can boost motivation and morale among gym-goers:

Considerations when Creating Custom Neon Gym Signs

Of course, if you’re not inspired by any of the ready-designed or pre-designed neon signs available, you can always opt to level up and create a custom neon sign.

A custom neon sign allows you full control of the design, colors, fonts, and features of the neon sign.

Here are the main considerations when choosing to buy a custom neon sign:

• Design: Logo, customized quote, or motivational message – you can choose your desired design.
• Colors: LED neon offers a broad color choice. All 24 colors can be used within the same sign, a massive advantage over traditional gas neon signs.
• Shapes: 2D or 3D shapes, whatever you want, it’s possible. You can make vibrant wall art, something you can hang, or a 3D centerpiece for the foyer/entrance.
• Fonts: Choose a font from our collection of over 100,000.
• Advanced Features: This includes color-changing, RGB, or Dynamic Neon – bring the sign to life with animated motion and more.
• Location: Indoor or outdoor use; the choice is yours.
• Bulk: Once a sign is designed, we can replicate it in multiples – either on the same order or multiple orders, at later dates. This is perfect for a business with multiple gyms.

By incorporating a custom neon sign into your home or commercial gym, you can create an environment that reflects your style and inspires those who work out.

With this in mind, you only need to consider what you want your neon sign to represent – inspire, challenge, or delight.

Placement of Neon Lights & Signs within Fitness Studios

Placement of the neon signs within fitness studios is an important factor to consider. Buying a neon sign for the gym is often made without thinking about it. I recommend considering this early in the piece – it’s every bit as important as design and factors into the design and size.

The most popular placement of neon signs in a fitness center is above the mirrors in workout areas. This is one of the key spots to spark a moment of motivation and inspiration. A “Do It” or “You Got This” neon sign placed in the right spot, glanced at by a customer, is a reminder to keep the energy up and finish that set.

So, remember, placement matters – get it right, and it’ll feel natural and work.
