Haunted Louisiana: Your Workout Has Never Been This Spooky

This Halloween, iFIT Guide Dalen Spratt is taking you to New Orleans for a workout unlike anything you've done before. In Haunted Louisiana, you'll step inside two locations with centuries of history, and tales of things that may still be lingering there.

This isn't a set. It isn't a haunted attraction. It's a paranormal investigation you can experience from your machine, with Dalen leading the way.

And yes, you'll get your workout in, too.

Two Haunted Locations. Two Investigations.

First stop: Destrehan Plantation.

Dating back to 1787, the historic plantation has witnessed centuries of Louisiana history, including the 1811 German Coast Uprising. It also has a long history of ghost stories and reported paranormal activity, including tales connected to the people who lived and died there. Destrehan Plantation itself offers a dedicated Haunting of Destrehan tour, reflecting the site's enduring connection to these stories.

Next, head into the heart of the French Quarter and Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré, where generations of performers have taken the stage, and where stories of unexplained encounters have become part of the theater's lore.

Dalen takes you inside, room by room, to investigate what may be waiting there.

A Workout With a Story

Each 20-minute workout combines your cardio session with Dalen's signature storytelling and paranormal investigation.

Instead of simply watching a workout, you're part of the experience. You'll move through historic spaces, hear the stories behind them, and follow Dalen as he searches for answers.

The result is a workout that feels less like a trip to the gym and more like stepping into a mystery.

New Orleans After Dark

New Orleans has no shortage of ghost stories. Its history, architecture, and centuries of legends have made the city a natural setting for paranormal investigations, and a perfect place to spend Halloween.

But Haunted Louisiana goes beyond the stories you may have heard before.

Dalen takes you directly to the locations, talks with people who know their history, and then investigates the spaces himself. The setting isn't manufactured. The atmosphere is already there.

All that's missing is you.

Are You Ready to Investigate?

Two locations. Two workouts. A whole lot of unanswered questions.

Turn down the lights, step onto your machine, and join iFIT Guide Dalen Spratt for a Halloween workout that might make you look over your shoulder.

Start Haunted Louisiana, if you dare.

And if you're ready to go deeper into the paranormal, continue the investigation with Haunted Bayou and Spirit of Salem, available in the iFIT Halloween collection.
