This older video was made for exercise purposes, but is mainly remembered for the men it featured. For those who couldn't goto the club, this was an inside peek at what many people were enjoying on a nightly basis.Very '80s since the guys were wearing their tight,shiny spandex pants. You have pretty boys like Cristian Letelier, the rugged macho types with mustaches and hairy chests like Sam Cupae and Nick Celia and muscle guys like Roger Menache. A little bit of everything for anyone who watches it. If you are looking for exercise tips, this isn't it. If you want a bit of fun and a look at what these guys used to look like, go for it.

Review of "Muscle Motion" (1983)
foreignfilmbuff4 March 2006
This is a direct-to-video movie editing individually filmed exercise segments with actual footage from a California nightclub featuring members of the famous Chippendale male dance troupe, and attempts to introduce the viewer to each one "up close and personal". The club sequences are pretty ho-hum, as is the tiresome Master of Ceremonies, but some of the exercise segments are well-filmed and, well, let's say VERY relaxing to watch. This film is well worth your time if only to take in the breathtaking details of the superbly-constructed Sam Cupae, a very handsome, tanned and mustachioed muscleman with a great smile and real charisma. He is featured in one memorable sequence as "Doctor Sam," wearing scrub pants, tennies and a stethoscope. Dennis Landry, the little hairy-chested dancer, isn't too bad either.
