A neon sign gives a gym energy before class even starts. We made a rainbow X for SBX Boxing in New York and LED signs including "Ready. Sweat. Go." for New York Sports Club. Here's what works.
A phrase that gets people moving
Short, punchy words work best, like a motto or a phrase members already say. NYSC's "Ready. Sweat. Go." is a good example.
Make the logo glow
Your logo in neon behind the front desk or on the studio wall shows up in the background every time a member posts a workout photo.
Give members a photo wall
SBX's rainbow X is a natural photo backdrop. Leave space in front of the sign so members can take a post-class photo.
LED is built for gyms
LED neon is durable and runs on low voltage. It's the right pick for workout spaces. Color-changing RGB is fun for spin and dance studios.
Questions gym owners ask us
Can neon handle a loud, busy room?
LED neon can. It's made of LEDs in an acrylic casing, so it holds up well in active spaces.
Can it change color during class?
Yes. RGB LED pieces can change or animate color.
We have several locations. Can you make matching signs?
Yes. We can make the same design for multiple locations and ship or install each one.
