The idea is ‘Anatomy of Ritual’ the first in a series of large scale prints that subverted traditional anatomical illustration styles. The artwork eschews the typical full-coloured, photo-heavy look of most gym chains: motivational pictures of sweaty people in tacky gym gear and focuses squarely on what’s important; everything under the hood.
Ritual is a new 30-minute High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) concept that would become the anti-thesis of style-over content, machine-based global gym chains. Our brief was to find a way communicate the science of high-intensity resistance training – encouraging the body to realize its potential without fitness machines – in a differentiated way.
‘Anatomy of Ritual’ helped to drive the understanding of the science and methods of Ritual’s fitness philosophy in a relatable manner. The pared down aesthetic and Illustrative methods provide an engaging and accessible springboard to convey the unique benefits of the science and brand of ‘Ritual.’
Ian Tan, Co-Owner and Program director said it best; “We're on to something powerfully anti-gym here. The first reaction we get from people is literally a double-take whenever we show it to them for the first time, they are immediately drawn into discovering the correlation between the equipment details and the corresponding muscle groups, and that is just so damn awesome”
