Killer Workout Movie Review

Trailer here.

Killer Workout a.k.a Aerobicide is a 1987 slasher film directed by David A. Prior and starring Marcia Karr and Ted Prior.

The film begins with a woman called Valerie, who has a tanning bed accident and gets badly burned. Cut to a fitness club where the owner is Rhonda(Karr), who just happens to be Valerie's twin sister. One of the customers ends up dead after a killer comes into the women's changing room. The body is then stuffed into a locker where it is found. Lieutenant Morgan(David James Campbell) is on the case. He asks Rhonda and her employee, Jaimy about the dead girl. There is a new employee starting work on the same day. His name is Chuck(Prior).Chuck starts fighting with a guy and has a kiss with the guys ex girlfriend, Debbie.

A group of youths spray paint the fitness club.Unfortunately for them, the killer is lurking and murders them.After this, more people meet their end inside the club. It becomes dangerous to even go in there at this point! Jimmy offers to help Rhonda. She refuses his help. Chuck finds a shrine that he has to Rhonda and he fights Jimmy yet again. It's getting a bit pointless at this stage. Morgan discovers that Chuck is a private eye and he is there to find out what's going on. Chuck tells Morgan to Jimmy is a weird guy. He shows him the pictures that Jimmy took of Rhonda. Jaimy is the next to die. Jimmy and Chuck have another run in. This time, Jimmy kills him.

Morgan calls to see Rhonda and tells her that he knows that it is Valerie. He thinks that she is the one killing. He takes her in, but he gets a call about Jimmy. He thinks that he might be the killer and there is a showdown. Morgan asks him why he is covering for Rhonda but Jimmy escapes. He goes to the club to talk to Rhonda but she shoots him dead. Rhonda is happy for him to take the blame for the killings. Morgan isn't so sure about Jimmy. He takes Rhonda out to the countryside and tells her some story about his dad. He is going to kill her because he knows that she will not pay for what she has done. She is the murderer. Rhonda hits him with a shovel and she kills him. Rhonda is a hero to her customers. In her office, she has her murder weapon and she smiles as she thinks about how she got away with her crimes.

This film isn't great, but it isn't totally terrible either. There are lots of boobs, bums and fights, if they are your thing. The music is decent enough. Lots of flexing also! The story isn't bad and I enjoyed it for what is is- a middle of the road slasher film with enough to entertain. I will give his a 4/10.
