So terrible - in a good way! The soundtrack was killer too!

Warning: Spoilers
**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!
