Verbal hook

Working out during grief has been one of those things that I really don’t want to do but I’m glad I did once it’s done.

Visual hook

The raw, unpolished aesthetic of the unfinished basement gym creates a strong sense of authenticity and relatability, contrasting with typical highly-produced fitness content.

Hook strategies

  1. relatability-contrast
