Breaking Barriers
Women's Wellness & Personal Fitness | Brand Strategy, Identity & Web
The Brief
Breaking Barriers is a personal training company specializing in one on one at-home training, stretch therapy, and fitness coaching for women aged 35 and older. The brand had strong bones but the visual identity and messaging weren't doing justice to the quality and intimacy of the experience being offered.
Service: Brand Strategy, Identity & Creative Direction
Client: Breaking Barriers
Role: Creative Director & Brand Strategist
The Approach
The work began with repositioning. The original messaging centered on physical results. We shifted that to a holistic health and wellness philosophy, communicating that Breaking Barriers touches every dimension of a client's wellbeing, not just how they look.
The color palette came from the client, but needed elevation. The original neons were bold but positioned the brand as mass market. We refined and deepened the palette to communicate luxury and intention, giving Breaking Barriers the visual authority of a premium one-on-one wellness experience.
A new logo was developed to match the elevated positioning. The website was rebuilt from the ground up with a clean content structure, embedded video to bring the brand to life beyond static pages, and messaging that clearly communicated both in-home personal training and trainer-accompanied sessions at partner establishments.
The FEEDBACK
"Working with Third Anchor Design Studios was a game-changer for Breaking Barriers. The new design not only looks fantastic but is also incredibly user-friendly. Our brand has a fresh new look and our website is now a powerful tool for growing our business."
The RESULTS
Breaking Barriers now presents as a premium wellness brand. The repositioning expanded her business beyond individual clients into partnerships with established fitness and wellness institutions. The brand grew because the story changed.
