FITBIT
- From chommies to champions -
In todays age of wearable health devices, active South Africans are able to receive data on their habits and work outs previously reserved for the worlds most elite athletes.
In this piece we seek to make them feel like as elite as the data they now capture turning everyday suburban fitness stores into spectacles of triumph and athleticism.

In each piece we will meet a different person each paired with a different fitness devise. We will show what make each Fitbit unique in personality and features while still showing that with Fitbit health & fitness come first, aiding them to not only find themselves but also find their strong.
