- Synopsis
- GONZA is a young martial arts instructor who joins forces with his laid-back friend SANTI to carry out a great project: the ALI SOCRATES GYM.
  
  Gonza dream’s to create an old-school manly gym. Meanwhile Santi just wants to make a quick buck, without any concerns about ignoring his friend's ideals. His goal?: to get back with his ex-girlfriend, who left him for not being financially stable.
  
  Who’s his ex? PAME, Gonza's little sister. And even though Gonza knows she doesn't love Santi anymore, he uses her to motivate his friend to help him pursue his own dream
  
  The lack of resources and experience leads both friends to sign a strange contract with RUBÉN, a landlord who gives the friends a good deal. But this does not end there: AGUSTÍN, Rubén's son, is hand-picked by his father to work in the gym, with the excuse of gaining the work experience necessary to obtain his degree in Business Administration.
  What Gonza and Santi doesn’t know is that in the next 6 months Agustín will seek to sabotage the gym at all costs to launch his own venture, an electronic music disco. And as if that weren't enough, Pame, Santi’s ex, begins a secret affair with Agustín.
  
  While they fix the place and share a room, the friends see how new partners appear little by little: a Youtuber-wannabe (WILLY), a thirty-year-old retired (MATEO), a suspiciously cheap builder (GÓMEZ), a proud paraguayan employee (AMARO RUBÉN), a successful Instagramer (LOLA), an intense Zumba teacher (BURTON) and a saleswoman who’s secretly in love with Gonza (MAGGIE).
  
  All of these will tell the story of the first year of the Ali Socrates gym. A story that episode by episode will reveal new and funny surprises.
