Watch out, everybody. Fiona’s here and she’s got a fitness plan to conquer the world.

Meet Fiona. She’s confident, she’s spiritual, and she’s a positive thinker. She’s also got a strategy to bring her amazing talents to the public.

Fit to Drop is a mockumentary following one woman and her mission to give fitness classes to the wider community. She’s willing to help everybody out of the kindness of her heart, from her husband and his “accidental” affair to those people that she knows will most benefit from her fitness expertise. Fiona’s aware of her natural talents but, being the good person that she is, she wants to share them with everyone.

With the help of her best friend Lindsey, and her overly-enthusiastic assistant Suzi, Fiona is finally realising her dream of giving fitness classes. She’s doing everything she can, eating 4500 calories a day to “keep her energy up”, creating marketing plans to “touch people” seven times a week so they get enough exposure and not charging for classes because it’s a “gift” she wants to give to those in need.

*She’s got the branding perfected: water bottles plastered with a flattering photograph of her* *face are on sale to publicise ‘Fit, fab and funky with Fiona’.*

In series one, we followed Fiona as she went out into the local community, finding the perfect location for her classes and going door to door to promote them (with the minor setback of only having one copy of her flyers). Fit to Drop is now back with a second series, in which Fiona expands her brand and reaches out to even more people… which isn’t too difficult considering she had no customers last time. She’s giving taster classes to the residents at the local care home, drafting up marketing plans, and even auditioning additional instructors. There’s the same cast of interesting characters, from hopeless caretaker Mr Bowen to her arrogant husband Alexander, only now we can finally see Fiona’s plans come to fruition.

Who wouldn’t want to get ‘Fab, fit and funky with Fiona’?

The full mini-series of Fit To Drop is available exclusively on Comedy Crowd TV – the home of independent comedy.
