ABOUT KINETICTEK
KineticTek was built by someone who trains, competes, and has spent 20+ years in digital marketing. That combination doesn't exist anywhere else in the AR industry. It's the only reason this company exists.
JAMES HARRISON
THE FOUNDER
I've been training since 2001. Not casually — seriously. Tracking macros, periodizing programs, studying hypertrophy, competing. In 2025 I stepped on stage at my first NPC natural bodybuilding competition. That's 24 years of accumulated knowledge about what it takes to show up in a fitness environment and what barriers stop most people from ever walking through the door.
I've also spent 20+ years in digital marketing and SEO — building campaigns, running audits, and most recently building AI-powered tools through my consulting practice. I built SEO By The Hour, a proprietary AI SEO platform. I built Gymmy, an AI-powered fitness coaching application. Everything I build lives at the intersection of fitness and technology.
KineticTek exists because I kept seeing AR agencies pitching fitness businesses without having any idea how those businesses actually work. A gym owner doesn't want a tech demo. They want to know how many more members they'll get. A supplement brand doesn't want an "immersive experience." They want lower churn and higher LTV. I know how to connect those dots because I live in the industry I'm building for.
"The difference between KineticTek and a generic AR agency is the same as the difference between a trainer who competes and one who just watches YouTube. One of them actually knows what they're talking about."
— James Harrison, Founder

WHY KINETICTEK
There are hundreds of AR agencies. Very few of them have ever competed in a fitness event, managed a gym member funnel, or built an SEO-integrated digital marketing strategy.
| Generic AR Agency | KineticTek | |
|---|---|---|
| Fitness domain knowledge | ❌ Zero. They Google it. | ✅ 25+ years training & competing on stage. |
| Speaks your language | ❌ Tech demos & feature lists. | ✅ Gym owners, supplement marketers, equipment buyers. |
| SEO & content strategy | ❌ Siloed. Not their department. | ✅ 20+ years SEO. The AR experience and the strategy to drive traffic to it. |
| Who you talk to | ❌ An account manager. Then another. Then another. | ✅ James Harrison. Directly. Always. |
| Build speed | ❌ Enterprise timelines. 6–12 week scopes. | ✅ Boutique speed. Weeks, not quarters. |
| Industry research depth | ❌ Surface-level. Generic fitness stock photos. | ✅ Deep vertical expertise in gyms, supplements, and equipment brands. |
| Post-build support | ❌ Retainer or goodbye. | ✅ Ongoing partnership. We want your ROI to compound. |
HOW WE WORK
We don't start with what AR can do. We start with the specific business problem your gym, supplement brand, or equipment company is trying to solve. The technology is always in service of the outcome — never the other way around.
Once the problem is defined, we build the right AR or 3D experience to solve it. Virtual tours that reduce no-shows. AR packaging that drives retention. 3D visualization that replaces flat photography. Each tool chosen for a reason.
Every project comes with a clear thesis: here's what we're building, here's how we'll measure it, here's what success looks like. We're not in the business of impressive demos that don't move the needle. We're in the business of results.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We don't serve everyone. We serve fitness businesses — specifically the three verticals where AR and 3D experiences have the clearest, most measurable ROI.
Independent gyms, boutique studios, CrossFit boxes, and fitness centers looking to modernize member acquisition. Virtual tours, AR walkthroughs, and digital facility experiences that convert online traffic into booked trials.
Sports nutrition, wellness, and functional supplement brands looking to stand out in a $72 billion market. AR packaging that turns every label into a scannable brand experience — with batch lab results, workout demos, and loyalty triggers.
Fitness equipment manufacturers and retailers who want to close the gap between online browsing and purchase confidence. 3D product visualization, AR 'place in your space' tools, and interactive product demos that reduce returns.
OUR MISSION
The gap between what's technically possible with AR and 3D — and what most fitness businesses actually have — is enormous. We exist to close that gap, one client at a time, starting right here in DFW and growing from there.
