Dans le Noir: Class in the Dark

The challenge

Make exercise feel more approachable for people who are uncomfortable being watched or judged.

The idea

A guided 45-minute workout removed mirrors, phones and light, shifting attention from appearance to movement. The launch used owned channels and earned media across three Gulf markets.
