Muscle (2019, dir. Gerard Johnson)

A downtrodden salesman gets in over his head when he joins a tough new gym and starts to be mentored. Tough drama with thriller and arthouse elements: not for everyone, but well-acted, directed and focused throughout. Well worth sticking with, though it’s a touch overlong.

Here’s the trailer.
