A candid, lifestyle-driven approach to gym content that feels approachable, relatable, and fun.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with Empower Fitness to create social media content that reflects their gym’s true identity—a welcoming space for both beginners and fitness enthusiasts. The content is natural, candid, and lifestyle-focused, letting the personality of the trainers, members, and founders shine through.

Backstory

Most gym content defaults to high-energy, motivational, and hype-driven visuals. While that works for some, it can feel intimidating for beginners or anyone who’s shy about stepping into a gym.

Lizzie and the team wanted something different: content that shows the fun, candid, and approachable side of fitness. They wanted their gym to feel like a safe, welcoming space, where people of all levels can enjoy exercising without feeling judged.

This vision aligned perfectly with my own perspective—authenticity and relatability matter more than overproduced hype.

Direction & Creative Approach

Instead of staged or hyper-polished gym content, we focused on real moments and laughter—trainers goofing around or dancing, founders like Lizzie jumping along to music out of sync, and kids joining in exercises with their parents. These candid, behind-the-scenes moments highlight the human side of fitness and make the gym approachable for new members while still being fun for existing ones. To ensure long-term consistency, we built a content library with all raw footage organized into ready-to-use videos. This allows Lizzie and her team to mix and match content—Reels, carousel posts, blogs, educational snippets, and more—so they can post consistently without having to reshoot every time.

My Thoughts

I love working with this group of goofballs—it’s always something new every shoot, and you never know what will happen next. What makes Empower Fitness’ approach so unforgettable is their preference for “come what may” moments—everything natural and unscripted. One minute someone bursts into laughter, the next they’re dancing, and capturing these candid moments for social media is perfect. Why? Because it shows the personality of the gym, how welcoming it is, and how clients feel in action. Everything is transparent, fun, and human. Your brand is your personality, and your personality is your brand—Empower Fitness is the perfect example of that. It’s a safe, approachable space for new and existing gym-goers to explore. Too often, brands forget to show the human side—the people, the bloopers, the funny moments. These are the moments that connect, feel down-to-earth, build trust, spark curiosity, and ultimately convert.
