If there's anyone who's read the manga maybe you can answer this question. Does the series go more of the "tournament" route with the girls trying to win some sort of contest, or is it more just slice of life/club activity in nature?

I’d make a joke about what the artist is into but that’s literally part of the story. Bonus points for that.

Comedy slice of life with cute girls doing GYM things.

First one for sure, pretty fanservice explanation of bodybuilding exercise techniques is regular part of the running jokes.

Just slice of life at the gym. There are a couple of small competition type things as quick jokes.

Kinda both. The manga gives you a detailed explanation of each work out before ending the demonstration with some message about working hard or something similar with the girl in a fanservice shot.

Hearing it's more of a slice of life at the gym definitely makes me more interested in the series.

It's actually good fitness information too; it's not the poor exercise thing aimed at otaku like the hinako(?) ovas.

No, no yuri and even undertones of it. And well, the second girl is more muscle-sexual than anything.
