When Carl and Martha, a couple in their 70s, gets kicked out of their current gym, they join a trendy fitness center with a younger crowd.

As Carl tries to fit in with the young people, such as the gym’s “lead motion coordinator” and the stoner-bro, juice bar- bartender, Martha misses their old community and feuds with a fitness influencer and self absorbed patron.
