Santa Ana's 'Burpee King' Elias Cabrera gets SAPD officers doing burpees

A split-screen reel: on the left, a photo the post presents as Elias Cabrera, shirtless with a large "Santa Ana" tattoo on his stomach; on the right, nighttime phone video outside an apartment building lit in blue and purple. A man in a dark jacket and two uniformed officers do several rounds of burpees together on the pavement, pausing between sets, before the group breaks up and the man walks toward the camera. A rap song plays over the clip, with no spoken dialogue.

Santa Ana's "Burpee King" found some new workout partners, according to Juice Unlocked: the Santa Ana Police Department. The outlet posted a clip on April 11, 2026, that it says shows Elias Cabrera, tagged in the caption as @cabrera_elias1503, "programming w the SAPD."

"Santa Ana factor Elias Cabrera had the SAPD doing burpees," the on-screen headline reads.

What the video shows

The nearly one-minute clip was shot at night outside an apartment building, lit up in blue and purple. A man in a dark jacket stands in line with two uniformed officers, and all three drop to the pavement and knock out burpees together.

Between sets they stand and catch their breath. The clip ends with the group breaking up and the man in the jacket walking toward the camera.

A photo beside the video, presented in the post as Cabrera, shows a shirtless man with a large "Santa Ana" tattoo across his stomach.
