Our Campaign

Over the past decade, the health and wellness industry has been on a rapid incline. Plain Jane and Average Joe are finally fed up with spending countless hours at impersonal “globo-gyms” in fruitless attempts to get fit. They have spent days, weeks, months, and years in a gym with no sense of community, where they workout and leave without a “Hello” or “Have a great day” from the staff. It is no surprise that people are flocking in droves to boutique gyms  (commonly known as boxes) around the world. In these boxes, they achieve health and wellness goals above and beyond what they ever imagined. They are finding community, friendship, and healthy competition. They are not only getting in shape, but many of them are becoming true competitive athletes.

We want to focus on highlighting the competitive aspect of the athletes that train in these boxes. Who doesn’t like a good local competition? They are all over the place, yet if you are unable to  physically go see them, wouldn’t it be great to have another means of seeing them? We have collectively spent years attending competitions of this nature and have personally seen some amazing feats of courage, determination, community and sportsmanship; where by the nature of this fitness community,  the last person to finish organically gets the loudest cheers from the fans and all the while, fellow competitors coach them to finish strong. We want to capture this VERY essence on camera for everyone around the world to experience from the comforts of your own home. Stay at home moms, lawyers, students, neighbors and the like compete on the same teams as former Division 1 middle linebackers. Every athlete is cheered on and encouraged to strive for the indomitable will of the human spirit. We want you cheering for your favorite box and your fellow athletes who are out there fighting for their chance to take it all.. the grand prize and bragging rights to be the King of All Boxes!

The majority of us do not do what those elite athletes can do, but 100% of us love the sport of fitness, love the challenge, and most of all, we are all passionate about our communities and the culture naturally embedded in our boxes. We would love the opportunity to be able to bring all of this to every single one of you.

How the show works

The show is structured with a 16-team elimination series for a total of 13 episodes. They are competing for a $60,000 grand prize. At the end, we will crown one box the King of All Boxes. In every weekly hour episode of Box Jump, one box “jumps” another box. Each box will have a team of 6 athletes (3 women and 3 men). The teams will compete in two pre-programmed 4-person team workouts and two 2- person events. Each event will be given point values leading up to the final event. The point system will be set up to help give the losing team an opportunity to steal the win in the final event.

Our Interactive Website: 

The show is only one part of what we are putting into place. We will be setting up an extremely interactive website. On the website, people will be able to read about their favorite athletes, read blogs with tips and advice by the athletes, and shop for products. We are setting up an individual athlete tournament as well, so if the viewer’s team is not doing well, they can continue to cheer for and follow their favorite athletes. We will have biographies set up so people can see that many of these competitive athletes are Average Joe’s and Jane’s just like them. The website will have a discussion board, videos on how to do exercises properly, links to websites, sponsors, and companies we recommend. There will be plenty of places to advertise sponsors throughout the site. The site is in the Beta form, part of the fund raiser will be to get the the site up to full speed. (www.theboxjump.com)

This is going to be are very special project and the possibilities are endless. This is a strong community that is growing at a rapid pace. We believe we are in the perfect place to jump on board and enjoy the ride.

How you can help!

We already shot the pilot episode and it is currently in post production. The first part of our funds raised will go towards finishing post on the pilot. We are now looking to shoot our second episode! We are asking for $10k for equipment; camera, lighting, grip as well as the crew who will be operating all this equipment. Then we’ll need to feed them. We will also need locations and any special permits that may come our way as well as everything else that will go into the planning of this second episode. If we reach our goal, any extra funds will go towards our next episode. If we don’t reach our goal however, the funds we get will absolutely still be used to finish our pilot and start the second episode and from there we will look towards sponsorship to finish up the funding. (If you know of some one interested in sponsoring the show. Have them send us an email.) But episode two WILL get shot by the end of this year!

Check out our perks for your generous donations and we can’t wait to show our community what we’ve created with all of your help!
