Description:
The health and wellness industry has been on a rapid incline the last few years. Plain Jane and Average Joe are finally fed up with spending counts hours at Globo gym in a fruitless attempt of exercise. They have spent days, weeks, months and years in a gym with no sense of community and little care for their members. It is no surprise that people are flocking in droves to boxes around the world. In these boxes they are achieve health and wellness goals they could never have imagined. They are finding community, friendship and competition. They are not only getting in shape, but many of them are becoming elite athletes.
This is seen in no better of a place then during team competitions. Here stay at home moms strive on the same teams as ex-D1 middle linebackers. Every athlete is cheered and encouraged to show and strive for the indomitable will of the human spirit.
We believe we can catch those moments on film and allow the world to be moved by the teams and competition. With an extremely talented director leading the way we believe we can move the world.
The show will show is set into a 16-team elimination series for a total of 13 episodes competing for a $200,000 grand prize. In the end we will crown one box the King of the box. In every weekly hour episode of Box Jump, one box “jumps” another box. Each box will have two teams of 6 athletes (3 women and 3 men). The teams will compete in two pre-programmed 4-person team workouts and two 2- person events. Each event will be given point values leading up to the final event. The point system will be set up that the losing team and steal the competition in the final event.
The show is only one part of what we are putting into place. We will be setting up an extremely interactive website. On the website people will be able to read about their favorite athletes, read blogs or tips and advice the athletes will have. We are setting up an individual athlete tournament as well. So even if the viewer’s team is not doing that great you can continue to cheer for and follow your favorite athletes. We will have biographies set up so people can see that many of these competitive athletes are just normal people.
There will be a discussion board, videos on how to do exercises properly links to websites and companies we recommend. There will be plenty of places to introduce sponsors throughout the site.
For each episode that is shot we are looking not just have an ordinary shoot day. But, a full day event with a food, give a ways and tons of fun.
We are looking to bring the life and community that is shown in these competitions. To Truly show why all of use love this community as much as we do.
This is going to be are very special project and the possibilities are nearly quite endless. This is a strong community that is growing at a rapid pace. We believe are in the perfect place to jump on board and enjoy the ride.
