Showcasing the Team at Impact Gym with Professional Headshots


When the team at Impact Gym, Paddock Wood needed fresh, professional headshots for their website, marketing, and in-gym displays, I was brought on to deliver clean, confident images that matched their brand. With their vibrant gym environment and strong team identity, the goal was to create portraits that not only looked professional but reflected the energy and dedication of each personal trainer.

Why Commercial Headshots Matter for Gyms

Modern fitness brands need more than action shots — they need personal connection.

High-quality headshots help gym members get to know their trainers and staff before they even step onto the gym floor. For Impact Gym, these images now appear on:

Their website trainer profiles

Social media posts and campaigns

A “Meet the Team” print board inside the gym

Ongoing promotional material

Whether you're running a gym, fitness studio or personal training business, commercial headshots help build trust and elevate your brand's professionalism.

Creating the Look: Clean, Professional, Gym-Focused

Lighting & Scene Selection

I used off-camera lighting to control the shadows and highlights, ensuring a crisp and flattering finish across the board. The gym’s dynamic interior – including its branded wall art, modern equipment, and signature colour palette – provided the perfect backdrop.

Posing & Guidance

Not everyone is used to being in front of a camera, so I worked closely with each team member to offer simple pose coaching and relaxed direction. The result? Natural expressions, confident body language, and images that feel genuine.

  • A small business owner from Kent poses during a headshot photography session with Luke Batchelor

    "I booked Luke for some commercial work I needed doing in the form of a promo video for my bridal hair business. Luke had so many awesome ideas on the shoot day including how to get my words flowing without it feeling scripted. The promotional video he created for me was even more spectacular than I envisaged. I am sure that it is one of the reasons why my bridal bookings have soared! Luke is the most amazing videographer with the knack of capturing the perfect moments and turning them into legendary film content."
