Okay. All right. I don't know where Mark wanted, but... Oh, there's Mark. Are we ready, Mark? Yeah. Heather, take it away. All right. Trailer over obnoxious pop music like an early 80s 2000s ad spot. Welcome to the GYM, your favorite rundown fitness shithole. In this pilot episode, we follow neurotic girl boss Valerie and her rag tag employees as they attempt to film a commercial for the grand reopening of the GYM. Valerie grew up in this shitty local gym as her second home and purchased the failing establishment after the former owner was exposed as the Flamingo King in a scathing tell-all documentary. The FBI took the birds and Valerie spent her life savings to keep the place from being bulldozed. Can she restore the GYM to its former glory so it lives up to her childhood's rose-colored memories? Or will it pale in comparison to its sleek and modern competitor across the street, Solstice? To find out, come on down to the GYM and get a full ab workout laughing in the comfort of your own home. CHEERING The GYM pilot, written by Danny Hanks.
