“Working out in public can be scary! Killer Fitness embraces the horror with ‘Slashercise’,” by Lina Lecaro, Los Angeles Times, July 30, 2025.
Killer Fitness in Burbank offers horror-themed workouts like “Slashercise,” combining fitness with spooky props and aesthetics.
On a recent 90-degree morning, a dozen or so gals and a couple guys of varying ages and sizes, some wearing flamboyant retro leg warmers and spandex, stand outside of a hot pink and black Burbank storefront.
They’re all about to fight for their lives and test their endurance during an hour-long workout like no other. While they jump, kick and punch, menacing monsters and serial killers (Pinhead from “Hellraiser,” Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street”) appear behind them, looped on a giant video screen.
Will they survive Slashercise?
