The problem
Fitness brands need a high-impact, memorable web presence that conveys premium quality.
The solution
A Next.js experience with dynamically-imported 3D canvases, scrub-driven scroll storytelling and performance-tuned DPR/particle budgets.
Technical challenges
The engineering problems this build had to get right.
- Dynamic-import 3D with Suspense
- gsap.context cleanup & scoping
- DPR/particle tuning for performance
Architecture
Implementation — what shipped
Engineering notes
Lesson for similar Fitness builds: design for dynamic-import 3D with Suspense and gsap.context cleanup & scoping up front — these are the parts that are expensive to retrofit once the feature list grows.
