This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

"Killer Workout" is one of those movies where I just can't figure out if it was made as a spoof or not. It's just that bizarre.Set in a fitness club, there are multiple EXTENDED scenes of insanely sexy girls in spandex working out and practically revealing it all. The cameraman should be awarded for somehow immediately zooming in on the bustiest girl in the room in every one of these softcore aerobic fetish scenes. These are basically the highlight of the film, and you'd probably be better off watching exercise regiment infomercials than this. HOWEVER, I can not say I don't recommend it, because I absolutely do.The body count is extremely high, though nothing is particularly gory at all. The killer uses a giant safety pin for some unexplained reason to kill the victims, having to stab each of them in the neck like ten times. Why none of the poor girls didn't try to simply use their arm to get poked instead of their jugular vein, I'll never know. I'll also never know why there are also multiple martial arts showdowns lasting an obscene amount of time between ripped bodybuilders, but I digress. The last twenty minutes of this one are an absolute glorious mess, with one of the most ridiculous plot elements in slasher history, and an incredibly long and dull chase scene.While it may sound like I just tore this movie spandex limb from spandex limb, it is a must see on sheer absurdity value alone.

One two three four five six seven eight and back, haha. This is a must see, first of all to see the work out. There are a lot of work out shown, see those close ups, man you will enjoy it. A few years ago a video clip was surely based on this movie. It's a slasher but without suspense. The ending is funny too, and the clothes she's wearing in the wood confronting the copper, Jesus, looks like a clown. The killings are mostly done off screen, the blood flows but never too gory. There are a lot of fight scene's too, and hey, no one got hurt. And what about the weapon to kill, never seen a big one like that, won't spoil it, you must see it. And being a slasher there's a lot of T&A too. To guess who's the killer you will be trapped a few times and that's the best part, but what about the story of the copper in the woods, huh! But still due his cheesiness this one is still one that many would like to have. I'm glad that I have my copy, one of those slasher failures. But man, those clothes and not to mention the hairstyles! If you are in your 40's then this is one is back to memory lane.

**SPOILER WARNING!* I LOVE this movie! It is quite possibly the cheesiest slasher to come out of the 80s, but that's what is so irresistible about it! The plot concerns Rhonda (Marcia Karr) an overall unpleasant woman because several years earlier she was accidentally baked inside of a tanning bed while trying to get a tan so she could be on the cover of cosmopolitan. Due to this horrifying traumatic incident, she starts killing off the clients of her gym because she is jealous of their beauty! Talk about totally cheesy 80s slasher plot. KILLER WORKOUT also features the best weapon of choice - a large safety pin used to off the client's one by one! The acting is, of course, really atrocious. But it still maintains the neat 80s charm. The bad music, the bad fashions, the bad hair. I could go on and on. It was obviously made on a shoestring budget. But like I said, all of that gives it its charm. You must seek it out at once! If not for the atrocious acting and the unbelievable plot, then for it's totally awesome soundtrack! Only You Tonight has to be the best 80s pop song out there!

"Killer Workout" is a rather decent with some nice cheese elements thrown in.**SPOILERS**Working at her aerobics studio, Rhonda Johnson, (Marcia Karr) becomes concerned with the growing number of fatalities of those who work out in the gym. When Det. Lt. Morgan, (David James Campbell) appears on the case, he thinks it's a little suspicious that newcomer Chuck Dawson, (Ted Prior) has showed up at the same time as the killings. While the other workers there, Jaimy, (Teresa Van der Woude) Diane Matthews, (Laurel Mock) and Cathy, (Lynn Meighan) are all a little worried that they're targeted by the killer and are even more at odds with each other. As he continues to crack the case and track down the killer, he comes across a rather unusual piece of information that allows him to crack the case wide open, and when he presents it, he finds that it's the wrong suspect and the real one is out continuing their rampage, forcing him to go against his instincts and trail the real killer.The Good News: There's some nice stuff to this one. The fact that there's a really decent slashing moments to this makes it the most worthwhile, since there's some really good ones on display. The one through the alley behind the gym is really great, as there's multiple targets to be attacked and killed off, which is really nice because of the way it plays out with the stalking, which is where the real fun comes from here. The ending confrontation in the car is just superb, thrilling and actually inventive, mainly because the killer actually goes for the side of the victim and stays in the area instead of just going all over the place, a nice touch and is finished with a great kill. There's a couple more in here which aren't all that bad, mainly towards the end which make it work out nicely, from the chase through the apartment to the one in the shower at the beginning which is quite nice. The fact that the kills are as bloody as they are with the murder weapon is nice enough as it is, since it's not exactly the most brutal one out there this is still pretty graphic. There's a stabbing in the neck, chest and top of the head with a gigantic safety pin, struck in the head with dumbbells, stabbed with a screwdriver, burned alive in a tanning bed and found hanging from a rope noose tied around the neck, which is a really great visual that really sets up the brutality factor along with the gore in here. The cheese in here is also really nice, as it's off-the-charts in this and really manages to stick out. From the cheesy 80s dance moves to the over-stylized manner it forces the clothing out to the physical appearance of everyone in here, this one just screams 80s cheese of the highest order and it's quite fun at times. The last thing is that there's a couple of really nice action scenes in here coming in the form of several really great brawls that have some really hard-hitting action in them to make up for the other stuff in here. These here are the film's best parts.The Bad News: There isn't a whole lot to this that doesn't work. The main thing with this one is the rather convoluted and hard-to-understand story to it. There's a decent mystery here that seems to go back and forth between three primary suspects, all three are given motive and opportunity to do so and it really goes back-and-forth as the main culprit responsible. Normally this results in some really good suspense and mystery, but here it just has the appearance of making the film seem longer and not knowing which one to end the film with and throwing them all in for the sake of giving it a red herring. This makes the ending come off a little disjointed and doesn't have a whole lot worthwhile. The only other part to this one is that there's a little too much cheese for some to get over. Seeing as much as this one has could be even for some to be through with before it ends, and it's one of the better examples of this out there. These here are the film's worst flaws..The Final Verdict: A really enjoyable cheesy 80s slasher that really only gets into trouble with it's story, but it's the only thing really wrong. This is easily essential viewing for those who enjoy the cheesier side of the genre, while slasher fans should take a look at it, while the ones who can't take the style should heed caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity and Language
