This sounds…weirdly fascinating to me. Maybe I’m biased because my mother was an aerobics trainer.

80s, SoCal, aerobics…it’ll be interesting to see whether they “go big or go home” on the aesthetic for this. I’ve seen more Desperate Housewives than I’d like to admit, and if that’s any indication…I’m interested. ?

I received a 1 year free subscription to Apple TV+ when I bought my iPhone 11 Pro last fall. I also just recently bought the 2020 iPad Pro so wondering if I get another year of Apple TV+?
