Fitness California - Wie man die extra Meile geht

True to the motto "Move until the last life" one trains in the Freiburg gym "Fitness California". Among those always to be found are Bernd Fleisig, Mario Sabatini, and Adolf Seger, all of them stars of the Wrestling scene of the 1960s and ‘70s, who, regardless of their age, ripple their muscles. Decorated by music and pictures from the time of the Californian fitness boom, the film reproduces their sports careers and offers affectionate insights into the family-run business of a power training gym which stands up to the large fitness company chains.

The film Fitness California by director Nadine Zacharias, who was born in Wiesbaden, does not only offer mere fitness nostalgia. Between the lines, it also illuminates age-independent topics such as fairness, cohesion, and fighting spirit.
