About Death Comes Lifting

Death Comes Lifting brings “fitness for the misfits” and original gothic apparel to the Haunted Happenings Marketplace on Salem Common in Salem, Massachusetts. Based in Pittsburgh, this alternative fitness brand has built a welcoming, creative space for the goth, horror, and outsider community, both at its physical gym and through remote classes, programs, and virtual content for members across the country.

The Death Comes Lifting booth blends apparel and art, featuring original clothing with macabre artwork rarely seen in the fitness world. Each piece carries the brand’s signature gothic atmosphere, designed for lifters and lurkers alike who want their wardrobe to match their love of the dark and unusual.

Alternative Fitness Meets Macabre Art

What sets Death Comes Lifting apart is its fusion of fitness culture with horror and gothic aesthetics, creating a community where the alternative crowd feels at home. The result is apparel and artwork you will not find at a typical marketplace booth.
