Get Rewarded
When you lift heavy things, you work out your muscles, and you get strong: that’s a reward in itself. You don’t need to work toward a medal, work toward a stronger you.

When You Feel Like You Can Do Anything
This lovely lady leaping looks fabulous . . . . but that’s not all: she feels fabulous, too. Fitness leads to strength and beauty not only on the outside, but on the inside as well.
Your goals motivate you. So when you feel too lazy to go work out, think about not just a toned body, but an empowered mind and soul. Imagine feeling like you can do anything.
Ditch the Products . . .
Maybe you won’t need all the fancy products if you eat right and work out often. Get your inner glow from within.
I think the Vacuum Sucked Up Her Waist
The slim silhouette is not just on the Hoover vacuum. Look at her hand. Look at her waist. Her waist and her hand are the same size!
I am 99% sure the ad agency graphics guys were all male.
She looks like she is having fun jumping around the house with her Hoover. But I can think of better ways to work out.
Wash Away Fat
Wouldn’t it be great if we could wash away fat? And “years of age” as well? But this soap would only work if we used it jumping around an Aqua Fitness class. This vintage ad for La-Mar Reducing soap ran in a London paper. I freshened it up in Photoshop.
Ladies, if you want to come down the staircase slimmer like the woman pictured, you going to have to hit the gym before you hit the tub with the fancy soap.
I love the money-back guarantee. I wonder how many buyers sent back their soap.
I put this design on a soap dispenser set on Zazzle.
The soap dispenser comes as a set with a toothbrush holder, so I put a vintage ad for dental powder on the back.
Vintage Fit
Welcome! I hope you find Vintage Fit amusing and motivational.
I am a graphic designer in Claremont CA.
I designed our lovely lady on the left with the barbells. The image on the right is from on a old Life magazine article.
I like to put an ironic twist on vintage ads and photos and create my own retro artwork. One of my clients is a women’s gym, and I found women get a kick out of seeing sexist advertising turned on its face.
Some of my artwork is available on merchandise in my Zazzle shop.
I welcome ideas for new graphics. The online portfolio for my freelance graphic design business in Claremont can be found at this link.
Frazzled Mommy
