Production

According to director Michael Fischa, "the health craze had blossomed in LA. [Health clubs] came up like mushrooms. So quickly that they went out of business. So we thought, basically, we turn it around and we have a ghost in our health club. That could be a fun scenario".

The location used for the health spa was previously a dance studio.

The exterior shot of Starbodies Health Spa that opens the film was shot in a strip mall on the south 8100 block of Sunset Blvd. The strip mall, as well as the historical Lytton Savings Bank Building from 1960 (later a Chase Bank) were demolished in mid-2021.

William Bumiller had previously worked as the manager of a health club prior to being cast in the lead role for this film.
