Central ThemesChanging attitudes about health and fitness: “You don’t play sport to get fit, you get fit to play sport”.The opportunity to change yourself is always there.

Most people would not treat a valued possession that they own and use on a regular basis, like for example their car, with the same disrespect that they treat their most important possession – their bodies.

The show hopes to help people understand that:body image – be it being super skinny or super ‘ripped’ – is not an indicator or fitness or

good healthfitness is an integral component of long-term healthbeing fit and healthy isn’t all about deprivation: not eating chocolate; never drinking alcohol

- the most important part of maintaining fitness is to work within your own personal lifestyle parameters

getting fit and staying fit can be fun

What is fitness?Everyone looks at fitness in a different way and it means different things to different people. To any athlete, elite fitness is a way of life, to a soldier being fit or even super-fit, can be a matter or life or death, to a labourer or gardener they have to be fit enough to do their job.

Perhaps the best definition of fitness means being able to carry out whatever physical tasks your life entails effortlessly, be that carrying your shopping, doing your garden or running around after your kids.

This show, hopes to demonstrate that for most people, basic fitness means being able to carry out mundane tasks in everyday life without difficulty. Again this means different things: for some people getting out of bed or off the couch can be a struggle, without mentioning having to run for a bus!

Why be fit?Being physically fit is not just about looking good naked – that is just an added benefit.

Considering that our bodies are the second most essential tools in doing anything that we want, we really don’t treat them very well. Most people take their bodies for granted until they face a crisis, something goes wrong with their body, for example a heart attack and they are forced to address their fitness.

This show will educate people to the benefits fitness has to:



Will Steele


Physical healtheg reduction of: cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of heart-disease, risk of injury; the

possibility of becoming over-weight or obese; prevents illnesses such as diabetes and helps with illnesses such as asthma; increases range of motion and functional strength, strengthens immune system,

Mental healtheg improvement of self-esteem and confidence, reduction of anxiety and depression, more

easily able to handle stressLifestyleeg prolongs life – is an investment in your future, improves energy levels, contributes to

better sleep, improves sex drive, enhances balance and coordination

The show aims to promote the understanding that fitness needs to start at the beginning of our lives and be maintained to the very end. As well as encouraging the idea that it is never too late to start to improve your fitness levels – and any improvement is an advantage.

How to be fit?Unfortunately because our bodies are the closest things to us, we all think we know how to treat them best. This is not usually the case. Most people wouldn’t dream of trying to maintain their own car – they would take it to a professional, a qualified mechanic, even for a basic ‘tune-up’. This show will demonstrate how working with a professional – a Personal Trainer – can significantly improve the way that you look after your body. Why? Because they have the passion to have acquired the knowledge to train in the most effective ways to achieve the best possible results.

Most people actually only in the gym to look good, not necessarily to be fit or healthy. This show will educate people that fitness for body image alone is “forced fitness” and will not as beneficial in the long-term (and can actually sometimes be harmful) in comparison “maintained fitness” – an integral part of lifetime health.

This show wants to teach people that getting fit, being fit, and staying doesn’t start with the body at all, and it starts in the mind. Maintaining good fitness and health is a combination of body and mind coming together and working in harmony with each other. The show will address issues like overcoming the disrespect most of us have for our bodies, which can range from an indulgent cake with morning coffee every day, to binge drinking every weekend,

Overcoming the mental obstacles, like attitude will also be tackled in the show. Most people don’t enjoy exercise, and most people don’t like going to the gym, they go because they want to feel like they are making some sort of effort at staying in shape. This show



Will Steele


hopes to teach people that being fit and healthy can be exciting and fun, as well as addressing many of the excuses that are easily found, to stay unfit.

Exercise gives the brain lots of signals that there is something ‘wrong’. When you exert yourself physically your body responds with a variety of signals: breathlessness, sweating, increased heart rate and temperature, nausea, dizziness, dehydration weakness and shakiness, all of which your brain interprets as ‘bad’. This show intends to reveal how to overcome what your brain is telling you – to stop exercising – through disguising exercise,

Getting fit and timingFor most people fitness is such a low priority in their life, there isn’t time to train and there is never a right time to train. This show will emphasise that the time to train is now, and the sooner that you start, there better, because the older you are, the harder train will be, especially at first, (because you are weaker) and slower the progress will also be.

Many people join a gym as a New Year’s Resolution. Often they don’t last more than a couple of weeks. The show will present the main reasons for this: that people don’t really know what they are doing in terms of achieving their fitness goals; people often don't have any structure to reach fitness milestones (and therefore little motivation); people are reluctant to be in a gym because of the perceived intimidation by people who are fitter than themselves, self-conscious of how they actually look and often bored with doing the same exercises over and over again without getting the results they want.

This show intends to expose how to address all these issues, by finding the emotional responses in people that will produce the results that they want, through disguising the time spent exercising by teaching people new skills, and by inspiring people to become engaged with fitness.

Who can get fit?

The participants in this show are deliberately drawn from a wide range of people, who have vastly different starting points, challenges and goals, in order to show the audience that becoming fit and healthy is definitely not a “one size fits all” experience.

The show hopes that the majority of viewers will be able to relate to at least one participant, because they share similar lifestyles and / or challenges to getting fit.

The show proposes that all of the participants have an interesting enough journey to fitness to attract a wider audience than only those interested in healthy lifestyles.

The Setting for the Show



Will Steele


People join gyms for all kinds of reasons, many of them having nothing to do with really being fit. “New-Year’s-Resolution-Users”, who have been mentioned before, have an attitude similar to other gym users who may even use the gym all the time – “I am making an effort to be fit”. An example of this is many woman who will do three or four spin classes a week, however, they will be able to leave the classes with their make-up still intact because they will neither have exerted themselves nor sweated!

Though most gym users will say that they want to tone up, lose weight, get fit and look better (with women generally adding that they do not want to have big muscles), men and women use gyms differently as much, because of what their specified fitness goals are, as because of not wanting to be out-numbered by the opposite sex.

Woman will generally be more focussed working on their “legs, bums and tums”, whilst men will concentrate on their upper bodies. Hence women will favour going to classes (where training also has a more social dimension and they can chat to their friends) whilst men will be more inclined to work with weights.

In “average” gym clients can come and go as they please, pretty much doing whatever they like, often using only one type of machine, or doing the same workout week-in-week-out which not contribute effectively to their health or fitness goals, at all.

This show is uses a private fitness studio where the participants are constantly supervised and monitored to ensure that they achieve their fitness goals in the most efficient and safest ways possible.

Cast

Main Cast – 6 Personal Trainers

A Gym Instructors will conduct gym inductions, showing new gym members how to use gym equipment, so that they can work out effectively and safely. They will also probably be able to inform gym members what muscle groups the equipment train.

Fitness instructors will supervise basic group training classes such as High Impact Training, Circuit Training, and Group exercises. They will know their way around the gym, and will be able to give basic training programmes to gym members.



Will Steele


Personal Trainers are the next level. Knowledgeable about Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Biology, they are able to design bespoke gym programmes for individuals. They have great people skills; an outgoing, friendly personality and can easily work one-to-one. Moreover they are wholly dedicated to helping their clients achieve their personal health and fitness goals, as well as raising their confidence and helping them to train for specific sports or events.

Personal Trainers are in a very small percentage of people who enjoy training beyond what their body wants to do. Good Personal Trainers are passionate about health and fitness but not necessarily interested in sport. People in general struggle to train a good personal trainer will make that struggle easier, by distracting the client from the ‘grind’ of training, making it interesting (through learning a new skill) or fun (by introducing a competitive angle.)

Exceptional Personal Trainers often come from an individual, professional sports background with an emphasis on competing with yourself, where the body is working on its own, and there is a need for discipline. These sports include athletics, gymnastics, boxing and martial arts. Another route to being a Personal Trainers is through the health and fitness industry from hands on experience themselves, having put their own bodies through rigorous training to change them from below average to elite athlete. They already know the whole journey, because they have experienced it themselves.

A good Person Trainer will have his or her own specialisation, but will be able to take on any client, with any type of goal or issue. As they grow and develop as trainers they will often add academic qualifications to the hands-on experience. Most of all a good Personal Trainer is actually fit, not just someone who looks fit.

Profiles of 6 Potential Trainers:

Boxing / Martial Arts – Male (mid 40’s)Initial became interested in martial arts for self-defence, discipline and social (meeting people and making new friends) reasons. Having been an outsider himself, both physically and socially, he can easily relate to participants whose fitness leaves them on the edges of society. He believes in taking away the discomfort (fatigue, sweat, boredom) of training by teaching the participants new skills, in order that the learning experience becomes more absorbing, and the training time appears to go quicker.

Boxing / Kick Boxing – Female (30’s)Started Kickboxing as a hobby, but became passionate about it soon becoming a professional athlete. After retiring, she furthered her qualifications to increase her knowledge of strength, conditioning, sports psychology for athletes and cognitive



Will Steele


behaviour therapy. She emphases the benefits that fitness can bring to your life (better quality of sleep, more energy, better mental state) to her clients and believes in helping them to achieve realistic goals and sustainable lifetime fitness, no matter what their lifestyle.

Nutrition – Male (30’s)His degree in Nutritional Science and a Diploma from the Institute of Optimal Nutrition, gives him the perfect background to advise on nutrition in areas such weight control, stress management, digestive health, female health, pre-conceptual care and sports nutrition, as well as its use in the support of degenerative conditions such a MS, arthritis and cancer. This, combined with his training in Sports and Exercise Science as well as Fitness Training and Sports Therapy gives him unique skills a Personal Trainer.

Rehabilitation – Male (30’s)With a degree in Sports and Exercise Sciences, a personal training qualification, and a fully registered Osteopath he has worked in the health industry for over 10 years, designing and implementing effective and intelligent treatment and rehabilitation programmes. His unique background allows him to offer his clients an additional aspect to their exercise programming and fitness needs through his detailed knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and function of the human body.

Athletics – Female (30’s)A former athlete herself, she went on to qualify in Sports Science including sports therapy and massage; Personal Training level 3; and Athletics coaching. She is a highly skilled and knowledgeable trainer specialising in weight-loss and toning as well as pre-event training. Inspirational and a confidence builder she is driven to help people not only reach their fitness goals but go far beyond them.

Weight Loss – Female (40’s)A fitness, weight loss and body transformation expert who works specifically work with women to achieve their weight loss, health, fitness, body transformation or post natal goals. She has a rare perspective having personally had to deal with all of these issues at some point in her life. Having gained experience working for a number fitness groups as a Personal Trainer she also worked in semi professional football as a Sports Therapist as well as teaching exercise health and nutrition to families as a preventative measure to stop obesity. Her philosophy focuses on training for real women and understanding what is achievable for their body type. This is driven by the belief that women should be real women and not the often skeletal creatures presented by the media.
