Well I wonder, what is the first step that most people take for losing weight, taking a healthy diet or going to a gym? I suppose it's the first. But even despite that this ad still communicates pretty well, although a bit of copy wouldn't hurt. We (visitors of AotW) tend to like abstract ads, not sure if the regular reader will fully understand this quickly enough before turning the page.

I am not a fan of the Gold's Gym campaigns by this agency. I like the old ones by Jotabequ, Costa Rica, which were funny and eye catching.

This is an example of ads that bet on craft more than on real insights. Playing with words should be forbidden nowadays on advertising.

Love the look & feel. But I agree that a bit of copy would be better.

the image IS the headline in this case, and there is nothing wrong with playing with words.

yeah I wasn't sure I got it right away either...the closest I came before reading the comments was "burn off the doughnuts (at Gold's Gym)"

From someone who's worked on this account, I can say this is an incredible idea.

Re Dator's picture 26 pencils

definitely, that ad would not be approved in Brazil. At least not the donut.
Here, "burning the donut" is a very popular expression that means ... well, I think you know what it means

JJ Bukit's picture 16 pencils

hahaha...burning the donut...an ad for lubrificant gel! That's a different idea...haha
