Ex-Army captain Stella Silver is starting afresh and has just bought herself a gym. Well, it’s a building. With running water. Sometimes.

The regulars are mostly in the autumn of their years, they don’t know their bench presses from their bus passes, dumbbells from digestives – they just want a cuppa and a laugh.

Plus they are dodgy developers trying to get their hands on the place. Poor Stella has her work cut out. Can she whip the gym and her motley crew into shape?
