Our current FAQ reads:

Fitness and Nutrition - Stack Exchange is for physical fitness professionals, athletes, trainers, and those providing health-related needs. Topics include exercise and training, nutrition and diets, wellness, and activities related to strength, endurance, agility, and cardiovascular fitness.

I have a feeling that the Fitness part of our current title makes it look like we're focused on weightlifting or exercising in a gym, rather than being about anything related to being or becoming fit. This might be because at least in Dutch, Fitness is synonymous for working out in a gym, if this extends to other languages the word Fitness in itself would be somewhat inappropriate.

I've already voiced my concerns regarding the Nutrition part of the site, but after discussing it with Robert I understand why to try and keep the sites scope broader rather than narrow. However, by having Nutrition explicitly in the title, I do think it gets more attention than would perhaps be appropriate.

As I raised earlier on Area51 I would much rather see this site transformed into a site that's about all forms of sports & exercise and everything related to being physically fit. I would propose that the site should be called Fitness & Sports and be a merger of all the Sports proposals on Area51.

The idea for this new title comes from Grace Note
