OVERVIEW

F45 Kingsgate brought HYZE Films back to capture their 2nd Annual HYROX Full Simulation at Pop Keeney Stadium, their biggest event of the year, following the nearly 5x growth in sign-ups after HYZE Films' coverage of their Half-Sim. With hundreds of athletes competing across eight stations and a full lineup of vendors on-site, the goal was footage that matched the scale of the event itself, content Kingsgate could use to attract higher-tier sponsors and keep leads coming in through the off-season.

F45 Training Kingsgate — HYROX Full-Sim

Capturing the scale of F45 Kingsgate's biggest event yet.

The Challenge

Following the Half-Sim's nearly 5x growth in sign-ups, F45 Kingsgate had a new benchmark to hit: their 2nd Annual HYROX Full Simulation at Pop Keeney Stadium. Hundreds of athletes competing across eight stations, a full lineup of vendors on-site, and a growing name in the region to live up to. Kingsgate needed footage that matched that scale, something that could help attract higher-tier sponsors for future events and keep leads coming in through the off-season.

The Approach

Covered peak competition throughout the event, capturing athlete volume, station intensity, crowd energy, and the vendor presence that made it feel like the region's biggest hybrid training event.
Edited with a polished, brand-aligned finish, full color pass and sound design, capturing the event step by step the way it actually felt to be there.
Delivered a core asset package built to last beyond the event day: a hero recap and a set of campaign stills usable across ads, social, and sponsor decks.

The Result

A hero event recap capturing the stadium scale, athlete effort, and event atmosphere, built to carry momentum into the next event cycle.
Campaign stills used across web, local ad campaigns, and social.
Visual proof of turnout, scale, and vendor participation that Kingsgate could put directly in front of prospective sponsors for future events.
