"THE 20s" will premiere on Monday, August 8 on the company's online streaming platform, BEACHBODY ON DEMAND, and on Monday, August 15 on the cable network Pop.

Hosted by Dan Cortese ("Veronica's Closet," "MTV Sports", "Guinness World Records Unleashed"), "THE 20s" is an 11-week unscripted competition series featuring a handpicked group of ambitious, twentysomething trainers living and working together. Each is determined to join an elite cadre of Beachbody Super Trainers, well-known personalities like Tony Horton of P90X®, Autumn Calabrese from 21 Day Fix®, and Sagi Kalev of Body Beast®.

"Beachbody has been in the content creation business for nearly 20 years with fitness programs like P90X and Insanity,21 Day Fix and we wanted to expand our demographic into the 'cord-cutter' generation, and an unscripted television show seemed a perfect testing group." said Beachbody CEO, Carl Daikeler. "THE 20s will take one of these talented trainers and change their life overnight, catapulting them into the national spotlight as Beachbody's next Super Trainer. The stakes in this show are very real and potentially worth millions of dollars. It was fascinating to watch these young trainers put everything on the line."

Each of "The 20s" hails from a different fitness background and was chosen to join this reality contest for his or her unique personality and ability to help people get healthy and fit. Every week, contestants will put their skills to the test in a new challenge, as they compete to turn their dreams of Super Trainer stardom into reality. Along the way, they'll get advice from industry pros sharing their own secrets of success. Worthy contestants will create and star in two original 20-minute workouts that will be judged, in part, by voters on BEACHBODY ON DEMAND. In October, one winner will be crowned with the title of Super Trainer at which point they will officially join the Beachbody family and start helping people around the world with their own fitness journeys.
