New Forum Section Titles

I was thinking that the titles of the different areas in our forum are a little vague with sections like ‘Fitness info’, ‘Fitness enhancement’ and ‘Studio F’ all sounding like they could be the same thing.

My idea was to make the section titles clearer and more intuitive to navigate which should help newbs find their way round much easier. AllCdnBoy gave his blessing for a thread to discuss section titles so here it is.

There are way too many possible sections to have any kind of voting system right now so any general ideas would be good. I guess they don’t even need to be direct replacements for existing titles, if there is a section you think could be added then please make suggestions for those too:

I’ll start off with my initial thoughts; my idea was to name the areas of the site after areas you might find in a gym, hence the more intuitive navigation.

Reception (currently general)
Physio room or Doctors Chair (injuries and health issues)
The weights room (Weight training, maybe with the bodyweight training sub forum)
The Kitchen (nutritional area)
Cardio room + The Studio subforum (Cardio room for general CV training and the studio for yoga, pilates etc)
Locker room (off-topic chat)

Not sure of somewhere for sports activities though, was thinking of something simple like ‘The Sports Club’

Any ideas from people?
 
We need a Stretching area (obviously for stretching topics)

Also a PT area
 
Maybe a stretching sub forum within the Physio's Office or whatever we call the general injuries and health care section as stretching is mainly injury prevention
 
Not a fan of the "cardio room" it sounds so weird.. the others were cool, though.
I don't know if we have enough topics on stretching alone to make it its own forum. We should be careful with making too many sections.

I just wanted to seperate cardio and things like yoga & pilates

I agree that Cardio room maybe sounds weird though, just wasn't sure what to call it. Maybe if we just had The Studio and had sections for endurance athletes, yoga, Pilates and stuff like that

stretching should not be in the "injury area" ding-a-ling. Stretching prevents injury, and under stretching could be yoga and such.


I vote for an area for "Competitors" = people who acutally train to compete in events. Whether it is endurance or powerlifiting, or a 5K, but we can talk about what we have coming up, we can encourage one another timely and all that.

Many times I don't read everyones journal, and "competitions" is an area, I actually have soemthing to offer..

sorry:mrright:you do add a nice chage here
 
I would also add running to the main training room but keep yoga and stretching to the rehab area

But that looks cool Tony, nice arrangement :)
 
Haha, Dallen could have his own room and I've always thought there was space for an agony aunt section run by BigTom

why do you think yoga and stretching are for rehab?

Yoga is a discipline of it's own and a wellness idealistic program. Not a rehab.

Stretching prevents injury

Well Tony called the area Rehab/Prehab/Therapy so stretching could be prehab and I guess Yoga could squeeze into therapy I don't know that much about it though but it just looks like a bunch of oestrogen filled hippies stretching to me :costumed3:

(waiting to be ripped apart now) :D
