first fitness/lifestyle reality show - “The
Gym”
House Film teamed up with Technogym to kick off the
production on an exciting new concept in reality
programming in China, titled “The Gym. This
groundbreaking show will be the first fitness and health
themed reality show in China .
The show follows 6 ordinary people over three months as
they work out at a luxury gym in Shanghai . Using the
latest and most high-tech fitness equipment, by Technogym,
they will get help and sometimes tough prodding of
professional trainers, who will push the contestants to
find their inner -strength to achieve their best.
Every 2 weeks, the cast will be judged based on how
effective they’ve been over the past 2 weeks, with
the top performer winning a prize while the loser faces a
special challenge.
The audience will watch all the drama and humor as our
cast struggles to achieve their best each week.
In the end, although 6 will try, only one will win.
"The Gym” executive producer Ric DiIanni
commented that, “Technogym, the Italian world
leading fitness manufacturer, is a very strategic partner
for our show. As the official gym equipment provider for
the Beijing Olympics in 2008, it is clear Technogym has
made a big commitment to the China market and to health
and fitness in China .”
Another Italian Company, Barilla, the largest producer of
pasta in the world, has joined the Team bringing a taste
of Italian lifestyle, which is the other important aspect
of the show.
Being Italian was the key aspect adding to the show the
fun element of the audience learning about Italian
culture and lifestyle as well.
“We want this to be more than just a physical
challenge”, says Director, Sarah Zhang, “We
want to see the hopes and dreams of our contestants and
how their lives change over the 3 months of the challenge.
The show will be educational, but it will also have a lot
of drama and humor along the way.”
