1. Current buyout of Bally by LA FITNESS LAF definitely seems illegally irregular, inconsistent and FRAUDULENT after being denied membership into LAF from Bally?? Note Notification by Paul Norris, principal, LA Fitness Nov 30, 2011stated>>>http://clubindustry.com/forprofits/bally-lafitness-complete-sale-171-clubs-20111130/ "We will be servicing all of the membership agreements that we acquired from Bally. If we close a facility, we will transfer those members’ agreements to a nearby facility, either an acquired Bally or an LA Fitness." As of date LA Fitness has not complied IAW the completion of acquiring the assets from Bally Total Fitness Holding Corp., Chicago. Go to this link and sign the petition http://www.change.org/petitions/lafitness-honor-reduced-fee-lifetime-contracts-of-bally-members-after-billing-period. Since those Washington Bally Fitness centers that were supposedly bought outright location premises, equipment, property, utilities and legal obligations, why are Lifetime members a legal entity of those particular Federal Way Regional HQ, East Bellevue and Kent centers discriminated and ineligible to transfer in the same equitable financial manner as the former contracted or monthly payment Bally members? 2. Talked to some fellow B members, who were annual and monthly members a. Witnessed and told that they were advised and automatically eligible for LA FITNESS LAF membership transfers under their current terms and identical Bally contract terms and by just showing their current Bally card ie,..varying from annual $100- monthly $10 to no annual monthly $15 to $29. b.. Whereas Bally Lifetime contract members were no longer considered and ineligible to transfer to LAF membership. c. On December 4, 2011, I was advised by the LAF attendant that all Bally members were eligible to transfer to LAF under the same current conditions and fees therefor I presumed that since I was a Lifetime member that I would be eligible under the same terms. Upon this particular inquiry, she stated explicitly that Lifetime members were not eligible to transfer and to be denied any LAF membership. 3. Can LA Fitness be legally obligated to honor current Bally Lifetime members and will WA AG investigate the supposedly fraudulent statement by LA Fitness principal Paul **, to service all Bally members, affected by their buy out of Bally? LA Fitness is honoring other prior Bally members IAW their current contract as of November 2011, but discriminately denying transferring their Bally Lifetime members IAW their contract. GOOD NEWS as of date, the LA Fitness corporate has decisively weighed the adv and dis-adv"s of the Bally Lifetime memberships and witnessed the acceptance of the Lifetime IAW your prior Bally contract. Just insist on your LAF attendent to contact the corporate office despite there refusal to acknowledge the change. Congratulation are in order to Paul Norris, principal at LA Fitness in the decision to accept our Bally Lifetime memberships and or the overwhelming disgruntled Bally membership social active oopinions and news have taken effect. Should know the final acceptance within 10 days... Read More »
