L.A. Fitness Buys Out Bally In Michigan

DETROIT (WWJ) - You won't see any more Bally Total Fitness Clubs in Michigan. The 12 Bally locations in Metro Detroit are being converted to L.A. Fitness clubs under a deal announced Thursday.

California-based L.A. Fitness acquired 171 clubs from Bally, which will no longer have any locations in Michigan.  L.A. Fitness already has six clubs in Southeast Michigan --  in Bloomfield Hills, Livonia, Royal Oak, Southfield, Troy and Warren.

Bally will continue to operate 100 clubs in other states.
