Funky Fitness Television
- The Programming Concept
Funky Fitness is the way Roger Bessler sees the world. Take care of yourself, and live life to the fullest. And for those that aren’t there yet, Funky Fitness Television is a motivational experience that will bring the emotion, the stories, and the social support of real people to the viewers so they can be motivated, find their own energy, the joy inside of themselves, and be healthier, happier, and more successful. The message of Funky Fitness is one of fun and fitness.
The ideas found in each episode will be based on the story of the foundations of our everyday life, the things demanded of each of us by humanity. The content and stories will be presented so something found in each episode of Funky Fitness will by design spark a new way of looking at the process of living and entice viewers to link to on-demand segments.
Over the years Roger Bessler has been so inspired by the energy, spirit, and happiness found in the instructors who work in the fitness facilities across the United States. Funky Fitness Television will highlight and bring their expertise, experience, and crazy wisdom to the larger audience in a fun and entertaining way.
Roger
Funky Fitness was
founded by Roger Bessler, an aerobics and fitness instructor of over 12 years,
and who has one of the largest followings for aerobics instruction in New
Jersey. Funky Fitness television is
stories of life paths, and how personal fitness can be used to overcome all
types of challenges that people have presented to them every day. The
programming includes training tips, sessions and guiding images.
Roger, through Funky Fitness Television wants to provide exposure and motivation to healthier more active lifestyles. In other words, move people away from the today’s gluttony of American society and towards fun and health.
The Studio
Funky Fitness
television is produced in a brand new 4,000 sq. ft. studio, built inside an
existing 80,000 sq. ft. fitness center.
Each episode and related segments are only lightly scripted. Through the use of real fitness instructors, real people and a unique in-the-gym studio, Funky Fitness also inherently capitalizes some of the important economies of reality-based television.
The Instructors
The Funky Fitness studios are located in a gym with a staff comprising the services of seventy-five instructors who have a life time of wisdom and training and are very capable of creating wonderful, unique, and personal workout sequences. It is the unconditional combinations of the motivational passion and the great workouts together that will lead the viewers to make the commitment and then experience successful training.
Funky Fitness Television will highlight and bring the expertise, experience, and crazy wisdom of the fitness instructors to the larger audience in a fun and entertaining way. These well-heeled fitness instructors already know how to put aside the ordinary of the day and how to lift up their consciousness to a new and higher level. They use this process every day to make the most out of their workout experience for them and their classes. The programming results in zany, entertaining and motivational reality.
And Raising the Spirit
The show features people who give a lot of importance to
developing and maintaining a healthy mind and body. The show features stories of life paths that focus on wholeness
and success. The show features sports
and training tips, sessions, and guiding images of competition for enhanced
personal performance.
The show also pokes fun at understanding the human psyche,
the journey each individual must take to find spirit and happiness.
Happiness, Health and Fitness contribute to a much higher quality of life for men and women in our society and culture. Finding happiness, health, and fitness requires the individual to have mastered and practice many things daily including motivation, vision, attitude, exercise routines, diet, …a mosaic of principles when applied correctly are what Roger refers to as, “The Art of Living.”
Funky Fitness is all about the “The Art of Living.” Many people in their daily routine do not show consideration for themselves and their spirit, they do not live by professed principles, and if they were to reflect in total honesty they would admit to themselves they are not fulfilled. Funky Fitness Television is about raising the spirit in all of us to a better way of health, mind and body.
Funky Fitness Television - Authentic and Contemporary
Authentic
Contemporary Content: Funky Fitness is all about real life spontaneous
programming that contains positive image oriented events, stories, and workouts,
all made possible through a unique in-the- gym studio production facility.
Fun and Fitness: The half hour weekly show features light hearted, zany, and entertaining behavior found in the lives of instructors who make up Funky Fitness; and at the same time introduces important concepts, attitude, happiness, energy, and motivation for the broader family audience.
Reality TV vs. Funky Fitness: There is a vast difference. Current reality-type TV shows generally appeal to the negative pleasure senses of the viewer, as the shows feature people doing things that generate fear, degrade the participants into performing acts in exchange for prize money, or generate anxiety from a win or lose situation. Funky Fitness is about the viewer experiencing positive stories and then extending the experience to their own possibility of having the same objective experience and enjoying great results.
Linear & VOD Format: Funky Fitness by design is naturally segmented to leverage core linear type weekly television episodes showing enough story so the involved viewer then takes advantage of on-demand technology to leverage the deeper personal stories as well as detailed fitness, coaching, and lifestyle content materials with the freedom and convenience that on-demand and personalized television brings.
We Are As We Think: Funky Fitness calls for the recognition of the spirit found inside of the person, invites viewers to participate in daily activities through on-demand technology, and to look to tomorrow with courage and confidence.
