SERIES PREMISE
Personal Trainers at a hi-end New York City gym help people connect with their bodies and, in the process, discover themselves.
Thomas Rotterdam is an alpha dog doctor whose willingness to break the rules causes his medical career to be taken from him. He rebounds by opening the hottest fitness club in NYC.
BODIES OF WORK is run by Neyda Farris, a former UN worker who speaks four languages, who after 9 11 realized the only universal things are body and soul. She spars with Thomas and juggles her diverse staff with charisma, toughness, and grace yet struggles in her private life (she's a recovering alcoholic)
The staff at BODIES OF WORK are pieces of work. Some love what they do (Holistic New Age masseuses, Adonis sexaholics) others pursue impossible dreams as actors, singers, and musicians. With so many passionate personalities, conflicts are always erupting
At BODIES OF WORK, New York's elite (and wanna-bes) mix. CEO's sweat next to supermodels, waiter/actors take (and teach) fitness classes with Oscar and Tony winners, and Wall Street wheelers box with uptown drug dealers (the diverse city itself is a central character.
People tell trainers things they don't tell their doctors, therapists, and spouses. It's intimate, and lines get crossed all the time.
EVERY BODY'S WORKING OUT THEIR PATH ...
