Bally Total Fitness leaving Los Angeles

As the New Year begins, you can expect your inboxes to be flooded with special offers from a variety of fitness clubs hoping that the extra holiday pounds that some have gained will drive people to their establishments. 

Los Angeles residents have plenty of gyms to choose from, with gyms such as 24-Hour Fitness, Gold’s Gym, LA Fitness, and the local YMCA.  However, Bally Total Fitness will no longer be a part of this extensive list of choices because LA Fitness has bought out all Los Angeles-based Bally locations. 

Although Bally signs and advertisements still exist at some Los Angeles facilities, LA Fitness plans to make many strategic changes throughout the next couple of years. 

“We will be servicing all of the membership agreements that we acquired from Bally,” said Paul Norris, LA Fitness Principal.  “The majority of clubs we acquired will remain open.  We plan to add new equipment to many of the clubs, and we also have plans to remodel, expand or relocate a number of the clubs to larger and newer facilities.”
