About this template
A New Year campaign for gyms, boxes and fitness studios that run a 30 day challenge in January. It looks like a poster on the gym wall: black, gold and one big line of tall condensed capitals.
The opening band names the dates, then the headline fills the width. A gold pill says the challenge is free for members, and one gold button signs them up, with a short note on where else to join. A dark training photo sets the mood. The month is laid out as three photo steps, from building the habit to test day. White line icons list what every finisher gets, and a code box lets members bring a friend for free.
Gold on black keeps strong contrast for the button and the code.
Change the dates and the perks, and send it on the last days of December.
