Fitness Photographer for Wellness Brands

Authentic Campaign Photography for Health, Fitness & Supplement Brands

Some shoots stick with you—and this one definitely did.

This project was created for GNC, shot at Unbreakable Performance Center in Los Angeles. The goal was to create strong, authentic visual content that aligned with GNC’s mission: fueling strength, inside and out. The story behind the people in front of the camera made that mission come to life in a powerful way.

One of the athletes featured was Kirstie Ennis, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, amputee, and all-around badass. She's an adaptive athlete, mountaineer, and motivational speaker—and someone whose presence in front of the camera is both powerful and humbling. She doesn’t just show strength—she redefines it.

Alongside her was Jay Glazer, founder of Unbreakable and a force in both the sports and wellness worlds. His gym is home to elite athletes, fighters, and celebrities—but more than that, it’s a space that’s all about building both physical and mental toughness.

For this shoot, I focused on clean, brand-forward imagery with impact. We used Unbreakable’s raw and gritty environment as a backdrop, while keeping the lighting and compositions sharp and intentional. The visuals had to reflect real movement, real muscle, and real power—because that’s what the brand (and these subjects) are all about.

If you're a nutrition or wellness brand looking for visuals that feel grounded in real people, real athletes, and real stories—I’d love to talk. Whether your shoot calls for high-performance energy or quiet strength, I bring the same mix of professionalism, collaboration, and grit to every project.

Denver Weight Lifting Photography

Weight Lifting Photographer

Denver, Colorado

There’s something different about the weight room. It’s not just about aesthetics or content—it's about work. Heavy, consistent, no-shortcuts kind of work.

If you’re a lifter in Denver—whether you’re training for competition, coaching clients, or just chasing personal records—you deserve more than a phone pic with a preset filter. You deserve photos that match the intensity and focus you bring to every session.

That’s where I come in.

I photograph weightlifters, powerlifters, bodybuilders, and strength coaches in real gyms across Denver. My style leans dark, gritty, and cinematic. Studio strobes let me control every shadow and highlight when the need arises—so your physique, your movement, your grind gets the attention it deserves.

We’re not faking anything here. These aren’t staged “fitspo” photos. I shoot during real sessions, with real plates, real sweat, and real intensity.

Whether you’re pressing overhead, deadlifting heavy, or just getting zoned in before a big lift—I’ll capture the moments that feel like you. The ones that say: this is who I am when the weight hits the floor.

You don’t have to be an influencer or pro athlete to get photographed. If the gym is your second home, and lifting is your thing, that’s enough.

Gym Photographer - Denver, Colorado

Own Your Grind: Gym Photography in Denver for Trainers, Influencers & Serious Lifters

If you spend hours a week in the gym chasing progress, setting goals, and pushing your limits—you deserve photos that show that story. Not the posed, overly polished kind. Real ones. The kind that reflect the grit, the sweat, and the hard-earned strength that lives under the surface.

That’s what I shoot.

I work with personal trainers, fitness influencers, and gym-goers here in Denver who want to level up their presence with powerful, cinematic gym photography. Whether you're building your brand, launching a training program, or just want something that captures the intensity of your fitness journey, this is for you.

I shoot in both private and public gyms across the city and surrounding areas. The vibe? Think moody lighting, sharp contrast, and real action—photos that feel as intense as the workout itself. These aren’t stock-looking fitness pics. They’re personalized, badass, and built around you.

Each shoot is tailored to highlight what you do best—whether that’s heavy lifts, calisthenics, mobility work, or coaching your clients. I bring in studio strobes to control the lighting and create that bold, gritty look that cuts through the noise online.

You don’t need to be a model. You just need to show up and do your thing. I’ll take care of the rest. So scroll through and if the photographs speaks to you, let’s talk. I’d love to help you create something you’re proud to share - rob@robhammerphotography.com
