🎧 THE G.Y.M.

Welcome to THE G.Y.M.

Not a gym. A situation.


Valerie inherited a neighborhood gym from her mother.

What she actually inherited? Debt, broken equipment, a failing business… and a staff that turns every small problem into a full-blown emergency.


Across the street, a sleek corporate fitness empire is opening with glass walls, perfect lighting, and zero chaos.


Inside The G.Y.M.?

Flooded hot tubs.

Out-of-order bikes.

A spin class that may or may not be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

And a “Grand Re-Opening” that could either save the place… or finally finish it.


This is a workplace comedy where nothing works, nobody communicates, and every attempt to fix things somehow makes them worse.


Think Parks and Recreation meets It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, set inside a failing gym where the stakes are low… until suddenly they’re not.


Recorded live at SXSW /. Podcast Movement, this Austin Film Festival award-winning script by Dani Hanks delivers fast, character-driven comedy with just enough heart to make you root for people who absolutely should not be in charge of anything.

You don’t come here to get fit.

You come here because something is definitely about to go wrong.

Valerie grew up in this shitty local gym as her

owner was exposed as the Flamingo King in a scathing
tell all documentary. The FBI took the birds, and Valerie
spent her life savings to keep the place from being bulldozed.
Can she restore the gym to its former glory so
it lives up to her childhood's rose colored memories, or

competitor across the street Solstice To find out, come on
