Up to you to provide a screen shot

Gary Cole of "Midnight Caller" fame starred in it, and 80's music legend Wang Chung composed the soundtrack.

The full film is here, if you want to watch it and tell people at what time the scene is, so they don't have to watch the full 2 hours to find it.

The person is almost certainly just going to be an "extra", and after almost 40 years, it might be a tall order to identify them.

there's almost a 100% chance this person is a nobody extra. i just found the clip, 1:07:58 will get you there, but she's not that muscular, and likely isn't credited at all. this is before the demands that everyone working on the film be credited, so only the stars and majors got top or special billing, and anyone else with a credit had a speaking part. I just double checked the credits, and it looks like onyl major crew got credited (although in those days they didn't have 1500 artists working on CGI and editorial) plus main cast and speaking parts, aka stuff that prob had a minimum of negotiation. everyone else got an extra day rate or nothing lol

Thanks for the knowledge

Bear in mind that "extras" get paid between US$100 and $200 per day and that is now! It's very poorly paid work and a lot of hanging around and re-takes, all to get your (in her case) 30 seconds of "fame".

As someone else said, she isn't a GWM and being the 80's she was clearly hired for her enormous (fake perhaps?) breasts. The token blonde haired big breasted woman in a gym. 1980s stereotype box ticking.

I didn’t watch the whole thing but I stopped in some places, everything about this movie is peak 80s. Also kinda fun to see familiar locations but nearly 50 years ago

Nearly 40 years ago, not 50. It was made in 1985, so 38 years ago.
