This is a completely new cut and total re-imagination of the original film. The story is about second chances and conquering your demons. Chris Long (Brian Drolet) is a fallen basketball star now bitter working in a run down gym. The place is bought by a new owner (Hoyt Richards) that turns it into a reality show.

Dumbbells is a light-hearted buddy comedy set amongst a group of misfit employees that work in a struggling fitness center in Los Angeles.
