Discovery Channel series to film at Barwis Methods Training Center in Plymouth

A Metro Detroit gym's athletes get to work out in the hot lights when the Discovery Channel crew comes to town this January.

Excerpt:

"Ann Arbor native filmmaking brothers Chris and Mike Farah –  who shot the feature film "Answer This!" in Ann Arbor in 2009  – are now producing (with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's popular comedy website, FunnyOrDie.com) a new, as-yet-unnamed "sports docu-seris" for the Discovery Channel.

Shooting begins outside Detroit in January, at strength coach Mike Barwis' gym (Barwis Methods Training Center)...

Chris Farah can't discuss air dates for the show, or the pro athletes who will appear on the series, but he believes that getting a good lineup won't be too hard, since "Barwis' gym is already pretty much the place pro athletes go to train. … The environment Barwis has created is astonishing."
