Project Brief

Scope

Rad5 Media partnered with Defined Fitness to produce a high-impact promotional video for Grind—their newest studio cycling class designed to push limits through a fusion of HIIT and indoor cycling. The class embodies grit, intensity, and community, and Defined wanted a video to match that energy.

Our creative direction leaned into an industrial aesthetic—gritty textures, high-contrast lighting, and cinematic motion—to reflect the raw power and determination behind the class. Real Defined Fitness members geared up in bold, performance-focused outfits, bringing authenticity and high energy to the shoot. We used dynamic camera movements, close-up shots of effort and endurance, and a pulsing edit rhythm to mirror the beat-driven atmosphere of the class itself. The result was a promotional video that feels more like a trailer for a high-performance experience than a standard gym commercial.

Founded in 1988, Defined Fitness has become a cornerstone of New Mexico’s fitness community. For over 35 years, they’ve redefined what it means to create a gym built on empowerment, service, and support—welcoming members of all ages and fitness levels. With a forward-looking vision that includes renovations and expansion, Defined Fitness continues to inspire healthy lifestyles and strong communities across the state.

The Grind video helped generate buzz around the new class launch, energizing both existing members and new prospects. Shared across Defined’s digital platforms and in-studio displays, the video elevated the brand and reinforced its leadership in New Mexico’s fitness space.
