FitFact: Top 3 scariest workout spots

Halloween is just around the corner and the spook does not stop at gyms 🎃. Have you ever been caught up in the horror at the gym? In this FitFact, we reveal three outrageous places to get your heart racing during your workout, and not just because of the intensity of the workout 😱.

3) Paranormal fitness activity

In the outdoor gym at Kashiram Park in India, a ghost seems to be up to mischief. Imagine you’re doing your workout outdoors and in front of you the shoulder press machine starts to take on a life of its own. The two handle bars are pushed upwards as if by magic and the squeaking of the aging hinges goes through your spine. Quite scary. Is this a ghost getting in shape for a Halloween party? The police in India, who investigated the case, wondered the same thing (Daily Mail Online). We are in 2023 – the year when even the ghosts want to be fit 👻.

2) Michael Myers XXL

The nights are getting longer and their darkness is exploited by murderous figures like Michael Myers. This one apparently got lost in the gym in search of more teenage victims – and tasted blood. Myers now enthusiastically pumps up his muscles, probably to instill even more fear in his victims. So be prepared if the masked man with the huge kitchen knife in his hand suddenly appears behind you during your next workout.

1) Frighteningly innovative

You have to look twice at this outdoor gym in Kiev: what looks like an abandoned military base at first glance is actually an innovative outdoor gym – recycled with leftovers from World War II. Scrap metal from Soviet tanks and warships, as well as tires from military vehicles and much more, were converted into a full-scale mucking out facility. Eerie in daylight – hardly. In addition to younger musclemen, an older crowd also trains, and even the very young enjoy the rusty machines – for them, the gym functions more as a playground. There are no ghosts to be found here, although what would happen if the ghosts of times long past were to be summoned in the dark to such a historic place…?

Quite scary, these training locations. During the Halloween season, our ACTIV FITNESS studios will also make you shiver – see for yourself 😉. We wish you a spooky workout in our facilities among skulls, bats and Halloween specials! 💀🦇
