Dynamic User Experience For Fitness Equipment Innovators
Circle Fitness, a manufacturer of fitness equipment for over 20 years, appointed ArtVersion to lead the creative direction, design, and development of its brand identity.
Circle Fitness needed a digital presence that incorporated a new design language that innovatively captured their equipment. ArtVersion redesigned their website, current catalog, as well as refined design systems and brand visuals to highlight Circle Fitness’s positioning in the industry. The team also designed and developed Circle Fitness’ brand guidelines to align with the new brand identity.
Color Palette
To modernize its digital presence, ArtVersion infused the brand's palette with new colors that exuded vibrancy and energy. The color narrative was designed to seamlessly complement their signature red while introducing elements that added modernity. The palette, featuring deep hues like grey and black contrasted against lively tones of teal and yellow, achieved a cohesive look while adhering to accessibility guidelines.
Typography
ArtVersion selected Poppins typography for Circle Fitness’s new typeface. The sans-serif font added a contemporary feel with its lean line strokes while maintaining versatility across various formatting styles. Poppins was selected as it aligned with the overall graphics on the website as well as for its clean readability style.
Custom Graphic Design Elements
The graphic design team crafted graphic elements and overlay patterns that vividly represented movement and dynamism—evocative of a fitness brand. These were incorporated into the newly enhanced photography assets across the website. This integration became a key component of Circle Fitness’ new design language, adding an extra layer of visual intrigue.
Logo Design
ArtVersion enhanced the Circle Fitness logo by creating both light and dark versions, adding depth and dimension to its design. This adaptation ensured the logo maintained proper contrast in all forms of communication, aligning seamlessly with the ongoing improvements in the brand's ecosystem, where every detail was purposefully considered.
Iconography
In addition to refining the color palette, typography, and graphic elements, ArtVersion also created bespoke icons that encapsulate fitness themes. These icons were strategically used for microinteractions across various sections of the website. Their line thickness and style were carefully matched with other graphic design elements, ensuring a cohesive and purposeful aesthetic throughout the site.
UI/UX Development
With a design language set in place, ArtVersion designed and developed the user experience with a web design that showcased Circle Fitness products.
ArtVersion’s content strategy team curated copy that described each piece of equipment, along with content related to their legacy and mission. The website featured interactive user journeys, complemented by bold headers and striking images, reinforcing Circle Fitness’s image as a cutting-edge fitness brand.
Additionally, the web design’s visual hierarchy emphasizes the advanced technology of Circle Fitness equipment through rich, optimized visual assets and persuasive, conversion-oriented copy, all working together to deliver a seamless and compelling user experience.

Development Guide
In conjunction with collaborative sessions, ArtVersion compiled an extensive development guide regarding the website's backend.
This guide included a step-by-step manual detailing best practices for website content implementation and instructions on accessing various features. This initiative empowered the Circle Fitness team to effectively manage and update their website, ensuring they had the necessary insight to maintain and enhance their digital presence as their brand continues to evolve.
Catalog Design
ArtVersion covered other areas of the brand ecosystem with supplementary collateral materials.
The team designed, developed, and wrote content for a printed catalog. This catalog presented the specifications, technology, dimensions, and other key details of each piece of equipment for prospective buyers. The catalog struck a balance between visual allure and informative content, to align with the newly established brand system and overall Circle Fitness brand identity.
