Late night fitness class?


I know italian horror films are not supposed to have much logic, but this takes the cake LOL. Like people would actually have wait lifting classes in the middle of the night.

And the dude that wouldn't stop exercising even after the black guy stopped the class. Exactly how many reps was he going for? Must be the Steroids LOL.

I'm not defending the movie's lack of logic, but Im part of a roller skating group that skates after 9 PM. I'm not kidding the group rents out the rink after hours and we have it all to ourselves.

So this could've been part of a night class for adults (18+)

The funniest thing is the pimp/fitness coach guy is the smallest/boniest guy there and he is coaching them!! ahahaha

The reason Wacko Jacko died is because it's heart just couldn't BEAT IT anymore.

All the gyms around here are open well into the night.

My former weight lifting coach was a former british champion in the 50s and he was a very average looking built guy, size dont mean anything, its the knowledge some of these trainers have that matters, look at the olympic weight lifting on the tv, and most times these huge strong men and woman have fat and out of shape trainers, who some would wonder that dont know about the sport what use they would be just because of the way they dont look in good shape, but in reality they have a vast knowledge of the correct way to lift, what to eat and how many lifts and the techniques etc

Ether way it is still very funny.

They do actually do that....I used to work in a cafe and I'd be driving into work at 5am and I'd drive past a gym and it was always quite busy at that time. Fitness types are weird lol.

What made me laugh the most (other than the fact the fitness class was being led by the pimp from the first movie), was how swish the gym was. I know some apartment blocks have gyms, but they are usually not filled with that much equipment. Maybe a bike, one weights machine. This looked like the sort of gym you'd expect to be a member of.

remember, this takes place in Berlin, like the first movie did as well.

I could recall some of the locations in Berlin, especially with the small train sequences they had in both. Nowadays the gyms in Berlin are open 24/7. I don't know how it's been in the 80s, but my guess is people in Berlin were very busy at same time too, so it makes sence to work out at night. I for one am at the gym somtimes around 12 at night.

Apparently alot of gyms are open 24/7, not just by today's standards, if you look at the film Miracle Mile, also from the late 80s, there's a 24 hour gym open as well.

Hotspots like Berlin, LA, and New York I'm sure were the first that needed 24 hour gyms due to the population and hectic schedules in these city centers.
