Project Overview
The Challenge
CAP Barbell faced critical brand alignment issues that were limiting market reach and undermining consumer trust. Fragmented internal communication between sales and product teams created inconsistent messaging across touchpoints, while an outdated visual identity failed to resonate with evolving fitness market demographics.
market impact
The disconnect between CAP Barbell's dated, hyper-masculine brand presentation and modern fitness culture was creating barriers to growth, particularly among emerging consumer segments seeking inclusive wellness solutions.
Strategic Solutions
Brand Repositioning
I spearheaded a comprehensive brand evolution, transitioning from an intimidating, niche-focused identity to an approachable, inclusive fitness brand. This involved restructuring visual systems, messaging frameworks and digital experiences to welcome a broader demographic while maintaining product credibility.
Design Philosophy
The new direction embraced accessible fitness culture through refined color palettes, balanced typography and imagery that celebrated diverse fitness journeys. This strategic shift moved beyond traditional gym stereotypes to capture the growing general wellness market.
