Pilot Episode & Season Outline

A person, standing outside of a large gym, in what looks like a (GYM MAINTENANCE) uniform, sees a slightly overweight, middle aged man, about to walk in the gym. 

Kevin (40) hasn’t experienced much of life outside of work. He’s divorced, still going through his midlife crisis and needs to find a new gym. Kevin’s previous trainer went crazy and burned his old gym to the ground. His old trainer is now in an insane asylum for the “Mentally Handicapped, Yet Cute and Buff”.  Kevin still needs purpose and direction in his life so he walks into a new gym.  In the gym Kevin meets Brad (mid 20’s GYM MANAGER) the manager of the gym, and son of the owner.  Kevin also recognizes Sam (GYM GREETER) the front desk person from his last gym and is introduced to the head trainer Oz (40’s GYM TRAINER). Kevin tells Oz he looks exactly like someone who used to run his previous gym but Oz, annoyed, denies knowing what he’s talking about.  Confused Kevin asks if he can just look around the gym since he’s considering being a member. Its a big size gym, but doesn't seem too busy right now. He gets the feeling its kind of a "mom and pop" kinda gym by the cliental he does see, even though the size seems to say otherwise. A young nerd on the treadmill machine, a boy scout troop selling protein bars near the juice bar, elderly aerobics class. 

While walking around the gym, Kevin runs into another familiar face. Lola, a Latin beauty (20’s GYM SLACKER) with a dog by her side.  She hugs Kevin and fills him in on everything going on in her life after the fire and gives him the lowdown on the new gym. She explains about Brad, he’s sweet and naïve and his parents own the gym. She also explains that Oz while he may look like the former Gym Manager, it’s not possible since unfortunately he was burned in the fire and is currently in the hospital. Lola then realizes her dog has disappeared and runs off. Kevin continues walking around the gym and runs back into Brad. Brad asks how was the gym and the two of them talked briefly about why Kevin needs a new gym. Kevin just wants to find a place he can fit in, hopefully make some new friends and a new life.  Brad wants a more diverse open clientele and definitely tries to talk Kevin into signing up for membership. Oz wants more competitive, rich clients as members so he walks up and tries to discourage Kevin from joining. Ultimately Brad succeeds and Kevin get signed up.

Kevin is excited to start his new life and walks in on his first day not knowing the gym shenanigans he's about to endure today. Kevin meets the more competitive and slightly crazier members in the gym. The whole atmosphere in the gym has changed today. He even passes by a familiar Sami, who actually ignores him. 

It’s loud, busy and hectic, and Kevin is confused and slightly afraid. Yet over all of the noise Kevin here’s some familiar grunting. Another familiar face, he walks up and is greeted by LoBo (20’s GYM RAT). LoBo and Kevin catch up and again Kevin is filled in to what’s new with LoBo since the fire. They are interrupted by Oz who yells at Kevin for being late to the session and drags him to a different part of the gym to start training, all the while going over his ground rules

Oz’s workout routine for Kevin is grueling, and Kevin wants to die.  Kevin kind of gets the impression that Oz does not want him here. Sore and in a lot of pain Kevin is having a moment talking to himself in the bathroom mirror. (like a testimonial) Kevin wonders aloud,  what has he gotten himself into. He didn’t realize when signing up that Oz promotes a highly competitive gym atmosphere and it’s not quite the  family and friendly gym he thought it was. Then you realize Kevin is not alone, there is a maintenance man trying to mop the floor where Kevin was standing patiently waiting for Kevin to finish his conversation with himself.  Kevin is limping his way through the gym and sees who he thinks is another familiar face. He approaches a blonde beauty on a leg machine and asks “hey, you look familiar” and she replies “I always do”. CiCi (30’s GYM MAN-EATER)  a former gym member, who since the fire has reinvented herself with a new job. Kevin starts to talk to her and tell her how happy he is to see another familiar face when she gets up distracted by Brad walking by, calls out Brad’s name and runs after him.

Kevin just smiles at the camera and says “Maybe this WILL be like my last gym.”

The camera turns around relieving the maintenance person again, who’s whipping down a machine and looking at Kevin, confused as to why Kevin keeps talking to him. He just  watches Kevin limp out of the gym, continuing to clean.
