The eight-episode series will be a YouTube exclusive, that follows two NYC-based sisters, Margot and Lily, as they compete against each other. Lily is a fitness aficionado and a YouTube sensation, as she records fitness videos from her Manhattan apartment. But she often feels lonely. Quite the opposite, Margot is a sedentary young woman, who’s into video games and the good life. She gets joy from spending time with the many friends she has.

The story unfolds, as the sisters challenge each other to take on their weaknesses: Margot will have to start her own fitness YouTube channel and get fit, while Lily will have to become more sociable, and make new friends.

The video series, produced by Nike in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, serves as a promotion for Nike’s collection of online video workouts, and relevant fitness products.
