PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

          The Company is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005. Following the Company’s issuance in April 2004 of its financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2003, reflecting certain changes in its accounting methods and in accounting principles and a restatement of its accounting for prepaid dues, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission commenced an investigation. On August 19, 2004, the Audit Committee authorized an investigation of certain aspects of past financial statements filed by the Company. The Company’s Audit Committee investigation uncovered errors in the Company’s accounting and the Audit Committee determined that the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, should be restated and should no longer be relied upon. The Company issued press releases on November 16, 2004 and February 8, 2005 with respect to the findings of the Audit Committee’s investigation and included the press releases as exhibits to its current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 16, 2004 and February 9, 2005.

          The Company previously made public its need to review the Audit Committee’s report before it could complete its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and subsequent periods. The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 was filed on November 30, 2005.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation (the “Company”) and the subsidiaries that it controls. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is a commercial operator of 416 fitness centers at March 31, 2005 concentrated in 29 states and Canada. Additionally, as of March 31, 2005, 26 clubs were operated pursuant to franchise and joint venture agreements in the United States, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The Company operates in one industry segment, and all significant revenues arise from the commercial operation of fitness centers, primarily in major metropolitan markets in the United States and Canada. Unless otherwise specified in the text, references to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the SEC on November 30, 2005.

     All adjustments have been recorded which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at March 31, 2005, its consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, its consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and its consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Actual results could vary from such estimates. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform with the 2005 presentation.

Seasonal factors

     The Company’s operations are subject to seasonal factors and, therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

Market risk

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on certain of its outstanding debt. The outstanding loan balance under its bank credit facility bears interest at variable rates based upon prevailing short-term interest rates in the United States and Europe.

     The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the fixed interest commitment on $200,000 of outstanding principal on the Company’s 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 was swapped for a variable rate commitment based on the LIBOR rate plus 6.01%.

Note 2 Restatements and Reclassifications

     The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004. These restatements have been grouped into the following categories:

(a)	Restatements arising from the findings of the investigation conducted by the audit committee of the Board of Directors; and
(b)	Other corrections of errors in prior periods.

The following tables set forth the net effect of the restatements and reclassifications on specific amounts presented in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

(a) Restatements Arising from the Findings of the Audit Committee Investigation

Among other things, the Audit Committee identified the following transactions that were, based on its findings, improperly reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in prior periods.

(i)	Accounting for membership revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101—The Audit Committee determined that the Company improperly implemented Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101 in a prior period. Specifically, after the Company’s adoption of SAB No. 101, revenue was recognized over the average contractual life of twenty-two months. As a part of this restatement, the Company has modified its membership revenue recognition methodology such that membership revenue is earned on a straight-line basis over the longer of the initial membership term or the estimated membership life. The impact of this change resulted in an increase in membership services revenue and miscellaneous revenue of $7,508 and $197, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(ii)	Expense membership acquisition costs when incurred—The Audit Committee determined that the Company improperly accounted for membership acquisition costs by improperly deferring certain costs in 2002 and prior. This adjustment had no impact on the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(iii)	Adoption of cash basis for recoveries of unpaid dues on inactive memberships—The Audit Committee determined that the Company should have adopted the cash basis for recoveries of unpaid dues on inactive memberships prior to 2003. This adjustment had no impact on the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(iv)	Unrecorded payment obligations—The Audit Committee identified that the Company had improperly accounted for $22,000 of face amount repayment obligations due in 2015 or later on membership contracts sold by a subsidiary before Bally acquired it in the late 1980s. The impact of this change resulted in an increase in interest expense of $165 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(v)	Sales of future receivables—As a result of adopting accounting for revenue in accordance with SAB No. 101, the Company had to amend its accounting treatment of the sale of receivables from the sale of financial assets pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” to debt treatment in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 88-18, “Sale of Future Receivables.” The change had no impact on net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004. However, the change increased membership services revenue $129, miscellaneous revenue $33, membership services expense $64 and interest expense $98 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 respectively.

During the course of the preparation of its financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2004, the Company determined that previously reported financial information required restatement for certain errors. Below is a description of the adjustments made to correct these errors.

(i)	Accounting for membership revenue for multiple element arrangements — The Company enters into contracts that include a combination of (i) health club services, (ii) personal training services, and (iii) nutritional products. The Company improperly separated these multiple element arrangements into multiple units of accounting resulting in premature recognition of early delivered nutritional products and personal training services. As a part of this restatement, the Company has modified its membership revenue recognition policy to treat these arrangements as single units of accounting and recognize revenue for these arrangements on a straight-line basis over the later of when collected or earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, this adjustment resulted in a decrease in membership services revenue of $10,886.
(ii)	Accounting for prepaid personal training services—In prior periods, the Company inappropriately estimated deferred revenue related to personal training services that had been paid for but not yet earned. The impact of this is a decrease in membership services revenue of $2,566.
(iii)	Lease accounting— Like other companies with significant leasehold improvements, in early 2005 we performed review of our accounting policies and practices with respect to leases. As a result of this internal review, we concluded that certain of our historical methods of accounting for leases with escalating rental obligations, tenant improvement allowances and of determining lives used in the calculation of depreciation of leasehold improvements were not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

a.	In prior periods, the Company did not recognize rent expense on club leases with escalating rental obligations using the required straight-line rent method. For purposes of calculating straight-line rent expense (and depreciating leasehold improvements (see below)), the Company uses the contractual lease term, beginning on the rent commencement date.
b.	In prior periods, the Company reflected tenant allowances as a reduction to property and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized these amounts, and the related leasehold improvements, to depreciation and amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the Company reflected tenant allowances as a component of cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has determined that Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, “Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases”, requires these allowances to be recorded as deferred rent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and requires these allowances to be amortized as a reduction to membership services expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, these rules require tenant allowances to be reflected as a component of cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
c.	Historically, the Company depreciated leasehold improvements over the contractual term of the lease. The Company also depreciated leasehold improvements acquired subsequent to store opening, such as remodels, over the contractual term of the lease. In both instances, optional renewal periods were included in the contractual term of the lease if renewal was reasonably assured at the time the asset was placed in service. The Company have concluded that such leasehold improvements should be depreciated over the lesser of the assets economic life, with a maximum of 15 years, or the contractual term of the lease, excluding all renewal options. The Company’s club leases generally have a term of 10 to 15 years and provide options to renew for between 5 to 15 additional years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2004, there was a decrease in membership services expense of $1,401 and interest expense of $220, and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $4,209.

(iv)	Self-insurance liabilities—The Company concluded that our previous methodologies for estimating our self-insured workers’ compensation, health and life and general insurance claims resulted in a net understatement of our self-insured liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, there was an increase in membership services expense of $40 and a decrease in general and administrative expense of $31.
(v)	Deferred expense recognition for IT services—The Company improperly deferred recognition of internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, there was an increase in general and administrative expense of $605 and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $535.
(vi)	Valuation of goodwill—The Company incorrectly calculated the amount of consideration paid in certain acquisitions due to the use of improper dates for valuing the common stock issued. In addition, the Company did not identify all intangible assets acquired in certain acquisitions (see “Identification of separately identifiable assets apart from goodwill”). Further, the Company concluded that our practice of amortizing goodwill over 40 years was inconsistent with the maximum reasonably likely duration of material benefit from the acquired goodwill. We determined that the Company did not properly apply the guidance in FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed Of” to measure the amount of impairment losses. In addition, the Company determined conditions at various dates which indicated the carrying amounts of fixed assets were impaired, but determined that impairment analyses had not been performed even though trigger events were present. As a result, the Company performed the impairment analyses not previously completed for the periods being restated and recorded impairment adjustments as applicable. The effect of these adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2004 include an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $522.
(vii)	Valuation of fixed assets—The Company determined that the Company did not properly apply the guidance in FASB Statement No. 121 to measure the amount of impairment losses. The Company determined conditions at various dates which indicated the carrying amounts of fixed assets were impaired, but determined that impairment analyses had not been performed even though trigger events were present. As a result, the Company performed the impairment analyses not previously completed for the periods being restated and recorded impairment adjustments as applicable. This correction resulted in a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $5,508 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(viii)	Identification of separately identifiable assets apart from goodwill—The Company concluded that our previous method of allocating the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired to goodwill resulted in an overstatement of goodwill. Specifically, in applying Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 16, “Business Combinations,” the Company should have allocated a portion of the excess to certain separately identifiable intangible assets: a) “Membership Relations” which represents the fair market value of relationships with existing members as of the acquisition date: b) “Non-compete Agreements” which represents the fair market value of the non-competition agreement with the seller of the company: c) “Trade name” which represents the fair market value of the trade names associated with the acquired operations, and; c) “Leasehold Rights” which represents the estimate of the favorable and unfavorable lease agreements in place as of the acquisition date. The impact of this correction was an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $619.
(ix)	Escheatment obligations—The Company determined that the liability for the potential escheatment of certain payroll-related and supplier-related checks was understated. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, this adjustment resulted in a decrease in miscellaneous revenue of $29.
(x)	Capitalized advertising—The Company determined that our previous method of deferring recognition of production costs over the estimated life of the advertising resulted in an overstatement of capitalized advertising and that the cost of advertising should be expensed no later than the first time the advertising takes place. This adjustment had no impact on the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

(xi)	Capitalized maintenance—The Company improperly deferred recognition of internal compensation costs incurred in conjunction with the build out of various clubs. These payments should have been recorded as an expense when services were rendered, rather than deferred and recorded as an expense in later periods. For the three months ended on March 31, 2004, these adjustments resulted in a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $734.
(xii)	Presale costs—The Company determined that our previous method of deferring rent costs associated with club leases during the construction period resulted in an overstatement of leasehold improvements and that the rent costs during the construction period should be expensed as paid. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, these adjustments resulted in a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $142.
(xiii)	Other capitalized costs—As part of the restatement, the Company determined that other capitalized costs, none of which were individually significant, should have been expensed as paid. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, these adjustments resulted in a decrease in membership service expense of $150.
(xiv)	Retail Inventory—The Company determined that the recorded value of retail inventories were overstated, primarily as a result of differences in physical count and as a result of incorrect accounting for cost of goods sold. These adjustments resulted in a decrease in retail products expense of $97 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(xv)	Equipment inventory—The Company determined that the Company’s accounting for equipment trade-ins resulted in an overstatement of the cost basis of the Company’s investment in exercise equipment. This adjustment had no impact on the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(xvi)	Asset impairment—The Company assessed its long-lived assets for indicators of impairment based on operational performance. Impairment was determined by comparing projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset to its carrying value. For identified impairments, a loss was recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s net book value over the asset’s fair value. The impact of these adjustments was an increase in membership services expense of $81 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(xvii)	Period-end accruals and other out of period items—The Company identified obligations that were not properly accrued for as of the end of an accounting period. As part of the restatement, these out of period items are being recognized in the period in which the underlying transaction occurred. These adjustments resulted in decreases in membership services expense of $780, advertising expense of $207, and interest expense of $751 and an increase in general and administrative expense of $843 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(xviii)	Foreign exchange gain—The Company determined gains and losses from various foreign currency transactions, such as those relating to management fees and, although not significant, the settlement of foreign receivables or payables, were not properly accounted for in prior periods. These adjustments resulted in a foreign exchange gain of $53 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
(xix)	Other—As part of the restatement, other adjustments were identified, none of which were individually significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, these adjustments decreased membership services revenue $220, membership services expense $258 and depreciation and amortization expense $304 and increased general and administrative expense $101 and interest expense $84.
(xx)	Effect of restatement on tax accounts—The Company determined it has overprovided for tax expense. The impact of this adjustment was a decrease to income tax provision of $87 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

       Changes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows—As a result of the restatement adjustments described herein, the reported components of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been adjusted to conform to the restated balances and amounts. As a result, the following cash flows have been restated from their previously reported balances for the three months ended March 31, 2004:

Note 3 Debt

     At March 31, 2005 the Company had $4,000 in borrowings and $9,678 of letters of credit outstanding under the $100,000 revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit which are limited to $30,000. At March 31, 2005, the average rate on borrowings under the revolving credit and term loan facility was 7.04%. On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver to its term loan and revolving credit facility that, among other things, excluded certain expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the SEC and Department of Justice investigations and other matters from the calculation of various financial covenants, waived certain events of default related to, among other things, delivery of financial information and leasehold mortgages, reduced permitted capital expenditures, and increased financial reporting requirements. As of March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended.

     The Company’s unrestricted Canadian subsidiary was not in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement at March 31, 2005. As a result, the outstanding amount of $4,040 has been classified as current.

Note 6 Income (loss) per Common Share

     Income (loss) per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share.” Basic income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the “treasury stock” method.

		Three Months Ended March 31

Note 7 Income Taxes

     At March 31, 2005 the Company had approximately $619,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $5,896 of alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards. The AMT credits can be carried forward indefinitely, while the tax loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2011 and fully expire in 2025. In addition, the Company has substantial state loss carryforwards which begin to expire in 2005 and fully expire in 2025. Based on the Company’s past performance and the expiration dates of its carryforwards, the ultimate realization of all of the Company’s deferred tax assets cannot be assured. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to a level which, more likely than not, will be realized. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Company will continue to review and evaluate the valuation allowance. At March 31, 2005 the Company’s deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance and deferred tax liability, is nil.

Note 8 Stock Plans

     The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans, described in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, using the intrinsic value method and in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations”. No stock-based employee compensation cost related to option plans was reflected in net income (loss), as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company has recorded compensation expense related to the restricted stock grants which vest over time. The following table illustrates, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock–Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure”, the effect on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation”.

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

   Equity Inducement Plan

     On March 8, 2005, the Company adopted an Inducement Plan as a means of providing equity compensation in order to induce individuals to become employed by the Company. The Inducement Plan provides for the issuance of up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the form of stock options and restricted shares, subject to various restrictions. As of November 30, 2005, 385,000 restricted shares and stock options covering an additional 153,000 shares have been granted. The restricted shares vested in May and September 2005 under the terms of the Plan’s change in control provision, which provides for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control. For these purposes, a change in control was defined as an Acquiring Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of Shares representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares other than in a transaction or series of transactions approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The acquisitions on May 4, 2005 of the Company’s Common Stock by Liberation Investments Group, LLC, Liberation Investments Ltd., Liberation Investments, L.P. and Emmanuel R. Pearlman and on September 6, 2005 by Pardus Capital Management L.P. constituted such a change in control.

Note 9 Guarantees

     The Company guarantees the lease on one fitness center, as part of a joint venture with Holmes Place, PLC. The lease has a 15 year term which began in May 2002, with current annual rental (subject to escalation) of $611. The Company believes that it does not have any obligation to perform under the guarantee as of March 31, 2005.

Note 10 Investigations, Disputes and Legal Proceedings

            In February 2005, the Company announced that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors had completed its investigation into various accounting issues. The Audit Committee investigation was led by Bingham McCutchen LLP, who consulted with accounting experts PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Marshall Wallace. In addition, in connection with its representation of the Company in the SEC investigation, Latham & Watkins LLP conducted an inquiry into the circumstances associated with the restatement of the prepaid dues account in the financial statements for 2003 and reported to the Audit Committee on the results of that inquiry. The Audit Committee investigation identified accounting errors, attributed responsibility for these errors to the Company’s former CEO and CFO and found improper conduct on the part of the Company’s then Controller and Treasurer. The Controller and Treasurer were subsequently terminated. The investigation also indicated that there were deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting. See Item 9A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for more complete details of management’s evaluation and report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

      Costs incurred as a result of the Audit Committee investigation, costs of restating and auditing previously released financial statements, costs of the 2004 audit, costs of cooperating with the various government agencies investigating matters discussed in the press release, attorneys’ and other professional fees advanced by the Company to various current and former Company officers, directors and employees, as provided in the Company’s by-laws, subject to the undertaking of the recipients to repay the advanced fees should it ultimately be determined by a court of law that they were not entitled to be indemnified, and related class action litigation are reflected in “General and Administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs consist of legal and other professional fees. The Company received payments of $3,200, $600 and $400 in June 2005, July 2005 and September 2005, respectively, for reimbursement of costs incurred pursuant to the Company’s Director and Officer insurance policy.

     On March 11, 2005, plaintiffs filed a complaint in the matter of Fit Tech Inc., et al. v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation, et al., Case No. 05-CV-10471 MEL, pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. This action is related to an earlier action brought in 2003 by the same plaintiffs in the same court alleging breach of contract and violation of certain earn-out provisions of an agreement whereby the Company acquired certain fitness centers from plaintiffs in return for shares of Bally stock. The 2005 complaint asserted new claims against the Company for violation of state and federal securities laws on the basis of allegations that misrepresentations in Bally’s financial statements resulted in Bally’s stock price to be artificially inflated at the time of the Fit-Tech transaction. Plaintiffs also asserted additional claims for breach of contract and common law claims. Certain employment disputes between the parties to this litigation are also subject to arbitration in Chicago.

     Plaintiffs’ claims are brought against the Company and its current Chairman and CEO Paul Toback, as well as former Chairman and CEO Lee Hillman and former CFO John Dwyer. Plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed all claims under the federal securities laws, leaving breach of contract, common law and state securities claims pending. By stipulation of the parties, the 2005 claims have been stayed pending restatement of the Company’s financial statements. Under the current schedule, an amended consolidated complaint is due 60 days after the restatement, with motions to dismiss due thereafter. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this action.

15

In February 2005, the United States Justice Department commenced a criminal investigation in connection with the Company’s restatement. The investigation is being conducted by the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this investigation.

The Company is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to its business, including claims arising from accidents at its fitness centers. In the opinion of management, the Company is adequately insured against such claims and lawsuits, and any ultimate liability arising out of such claims and lawsuits should not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. In addition, from time to time, customer complaints are investigated by various governmental bodies. In the opinion of management, none of these other complaints or investigations currently pending should have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the Company is and has been in the past, named as defendants in a number of purported class action lawsuits based on alleged violations of state and local consumer protection laws and regulations governing the sale, financing and collection of membership fees. To date the Company has successfully defended or settled such lawsuits without a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation. However, the Company cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully defend or settle all pending or future purported class action claims, and the Company’s failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Note 11 Subsequent Events

   Stockholder Derivative Lawsuits in Illinois Federal Court

     On April 5, 2005, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company by another of the Company’s stockholders, Albert Said. This lawsuit asserts claims for breaches of fiduciary duty in failing to supervise properly its financial and corporate affairs and accounting practices. Plaintiff also requests restitution and disgorgement of bonuses and trading proceeds under Delaware law and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this action.

   Vesting of Restricted Stock under the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan

     On May 4, 2005, 1,320,500 shares of restricted stock became vested under the terms of the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan’s change in control provision, which provides for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control. For these purposes, a change in control is defined as an Acquiring Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of Shares representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares other than in a transaction or series of transactions approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The acquisition on May 4, 2005 of the Company’s Common Stock by Liberation Investments Group, LLC, Liberation Investments Ltd., Liberation Investments, L.P. and Emmanuel R. Pearlman constituted such a change in control. Accordingly, 808,000 shares of restricted stock subject to four-year cliff vesting conditions and 512,500 shares of restricted stock subject to certain performance-based conditions lapsed. In connection with this event, $2,201 of unearned compensation was reported as general and administrative expense in the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 which related to the time-based restricted shares, and $1,609 in compensation was reported as general and administrative expense in the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 which related to the performance-based restricted shares. Existing employment agreements with certain executives contain tax consequence gross-up provisions the effects of which resulted in $1,135 in compensation reported as general and administrative expense in the three-months ended June 30, 2005.

   Arbitration Award

     On May 12, 2005, the Company received notification of an arbitration award requiring it to pay the counter-party $14,300 plus accruing interest to the date of payment. This arbitration award represents the culmination of a contractual dispute between the Company and Household Credit Services (II) and Household Bank (SB), N.A. whereby membership obligations were transferred into a credit card program funded and managed by Household. Payment in full was made on August 18, 2005.

   Consent Solicitation

     On July 13, 2005, the Company commenced the solicitation of consents to extend the original waivers of defaults obtained on December 7, 2004 from holders of its Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes (“Noteholders”) under the indentures governing the notes. On August 4 and 5, 2005, the Company received notices of default under the indentures following the expiration of the waiver of the financial reporting covenant default on July 31, 2005. The notices commenced a 30-day cure period and a 10-day period after which a cross-default would have occurred under the Company’s Credit Agreement. Effective August 9, 2005, the Company entered into a consent with its lenders under the Credit Agreement to extend the 10-day period until August 31, 2005. On August 24 and August 30, the Company received consents from holders of a majority of its Senior Subordinated Notes and its Senior Notes, respectively, to extend the waivers until November 30, 2005. Effective August 24, 2005, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to permit payment of consent fees to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Notes, to exclude certain additional expenses from the computation of various financial covenants and to reduce the required interest coverage ratio for the period ending March 31, 2006 and limits revolver borrowings under the credit agreement if the Company’s unrestricted cash exceeds certain levels. On November 1, 2005, the Company completed a consent solicitation of those holders of Senior Subordinated Notes who were not party to the August 24, 2005 consent agreement. Fees paid for these consents to the Noteholders consisted of cash payments of $4,865.6 and issuance of 1,903,206 shares of unregistered Common Stock. The solicitation agent was issued 232,000 shares of unregistered Common Stock as compensation for services rendered, while the lenders under the Credit Agreement were paid $2,925.6 in cash for their consents and amendment. In addition, on November 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the solicitation agent pursuant to which 409,314 shares of unregistered Common Stock were issued to the solicitation agent in exchange for $1,432.6, which equalled the consent fee the Company paid in cash to holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes in connection with the consent solicitation.

   Crunch Purchase Agreement

     On September 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement to sell all of its health clubs operating under the Crunch Fitness ^sm brand along with four additional health clubs operating under different brands in the San Francisco, California market as well as the Gorilla Sports ^sm brand, for a total purchase price of $45,000, subject to certain purchase price adjustments including, but not limited to, adjustments for taxes, insurance and rent. The Company retains all pre-closing liabilities associated with these health clubs. Closing of the transaction is subject to a number of significant closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including consent to the transfer and release of the Company’s tenant and guarantee obligations by the lessors under the various leases for the facilities to be sold. While negotiations with all landlords are ongoing and we continue to diligently pursue obtaining these consents, the limited progress made to date in securing consents raises substantial doubt about the ability of both parties to successfully close the transaction. Furthermore, under the Purchase Agreement, either the Company or the purchaser may terminate the transaction if the closing has not occurred by December 31, 2005. There can be no assurance that the closing conditions will be satisfied prior to that date or that the transaction will close.

   Adoption of Rights Plan

16

     On October 17, 2005, the Company entered into a consent agreement with its lenders under its Credit Agreement to permit the Company to enter into Rights Plan Transactions (as defined). On October 18, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (“Rights Plan”), authorized a new class of and issuance of up to 100,000 shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (the “Right”) for each share of Common Stock held of record at the close of business on October 31, 2005. Each Right, if and when exercisable, entitles its holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $13.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

     The Rights Plan provides that the Rights become exercisable only after a triggering event, including a person or group acquiring 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Board of directors is entitled to redeem the Rights for $0.001 per Right at any time prior to a person acquiring 15% or more of the outstanding Common Stock. Should a person or group acquire more than 15% of the Company’s Common Stock, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right’s then-current exercise price and in lieu of receiving shares of preferred stock, a number of shares of Common Stock of Bally having a market value at that time of twice the Right’s exercise price. In the same regard, the Rights of the acquiring person or group will become void and will not be exercisable. If Bally is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction not approved by the Board of Directors, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right’s then-current exercise price and in lieu of receiving shares of preferred stock, a number of the acquiring company’s common shares having a market value at that time of twice the Right’s exercise price.

     The Rights Plan will terminate on July 15, 2006 unless the issuance of the Rights is ratified by Company stockholders prior to that time. The Board of Directors presently intends to submit the Rights Plan to stockholders for ratification prior to July 15, 2006, unless previously redeemed, exchanged or otherwise terminated. If the stockholders ratify the Rights at that meeting, the expiration date will be October 18, 2015, subject to stockholder ratification every subsequent two years no later than July 31st of the applicable year beginning 2008.

   Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

     Due to equity transactions that occurred in 2005, an ownership change for purposes of IRC Section 382 may have occurred. If an ownership change did occur, under the provisions of IRC Section 382 the utilization of some of the previously disclosed net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be significantly limited. As described in Note 7, a valuation allowance has been provided to reduce the related deferred tax asset to nil.

   Insurance Lawsuit

     On November 10, 2005, two of the Company’s excess directors and officers liability insurance providers filed a complaint captioned Travelers Indemnity Company and ACE American Insurance Company v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation; Holiday Universal, Inc, n/k/a Bally Total Fitness of the Mid-Atlantic, Inc; George N. Aronoff; Paul Toback; John W. Dwyer; Lee S. Hillman; Stephen C. Swid; James McAnally; J. Kenneth Looloian; Liza M. Walsh; Annie P. Lewis, as Executor of the Estate of Aubrey C. Lewis, Deceased; Theodore Noncek; Geoff Scheitlin; John H. Wildman; John W. Rogers, Jr.; and Martin E. Franklin, Case No. 05 C 6441, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges that financial information included in the Company’s applications for certain directors and officers liability insurance policies was materially false and misleading. Plaintiffs request the Court to declare two of the Company’s excess policies for the year 2002-2003 void, voidable and/or subject to rescission, and to declare that the exclusions and/or conditions of a separate excess policy for the year 2003-2004 bar coverage with respect to certain of the Company’s claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action.

   Amendments to Employment Agreements

     In November 2005, the Company amended the employment contracts with Mr. Paul A. Toback, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Carl J. Landeck, SVP and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Marc D. Bassewitz, SVP and General Counsel, Mr. Harold Morgan, SVP and Chief Administrative Officer and Mr. James A. McDonald, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer to (i) include specific language regarding Company-provided disability insurance memorializing the Company’s standard policy and (ii) eliminate an exception from the definition of “Change of Control” for issuances of equity by the Company. These amendments became effective only upon the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

   Director Compensation

     In 2005, the Company increased the stipend for non-employee directors serving as committee chairmen from $2 to $7.5 per year. In addition, as of the date of this filing, the following additional compensation for non-employee directors became effective: (i) for the 2005 year, an additional $50 cash retainer; (ii) the Audit Committee chairman stipend will be raised to $25; (iii) subject to stockholder approval of an equity compensation plan, for years ending after December 31, 2005, an annual grant of $30 of equity compensation in the form of restricted stock and/or options; and (iv) subject to stockholder approval of an equity compensation plan, a grant of $20 of restricted stock in 2006 and 2007.

   Engagement of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

     On November 29, 2005, the Company engaged J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. to advise the Company, together with The Blackstone Group, in exploring strategic alternatives, including potential equity transactions or the sale of businesses or assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and with the information under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Restatements and Reclassifications

     We undertook a comprehensive review of our previously filed condensed consolidated financial statements, including an independent internal investigation. As a result of the review, we restated our previously reported consolidated statement of operations and cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

     Except as otherwise specified, all information presented in this item, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and the related notes include all such restatements. For additional information and a detailed discussion of the accounts restated, see Note 2 “Restatements and Reclassifications,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon such restated and reclassified financial data.

Executive Summary of Business

     Bally is the largest publicly-traded commercial operator of fitness centers in North America in terms of number of members, revenues and square footage of its facilities. As of March 31, 2005, we operated 416 fitness centers collectively serving approximately 3.7 million members. These 416 fitness centers occupied a total of 12.7 million square feet.

     Our fitness centers are concentrated in major metropolitan areas in 29 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, with more than 350 fitness centers located in the top 25 metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada. As of March 31, 2005, we operated fitness centers in over 45 major metropolitan areas representing 63 percent of the United States population and over 16 percent of the Canadian population. Members electing multiple center access are required to make larger monthly payments than those who select a single club membership.

     Concentrating our clubs in major metropolitan areas has the additional benefits of (i) providing our members access to multiple locations to facilitate achieving their fitness goals; (ii) strengthening the Bally Total Fitness® brand awareness; (iii) leveraging national advertising; (iv) enabling the Company to develop promotional partnerships with other national or regional companies; and (v) more cost effective regional management and control by leveraging our existing operations in those markets.

     Historically, Bally memberships in most markets required a two or three year commitment from the member with payments comprised of an initiation fee, interest, and monthly dues. Since late 2003, we have expanded these offers to include “pay-as-you-go” membership options that provide greater flexibility to members. In late 2004, we developed and implemented a new membership plan, our Build Your Own Membership (“BYOM^SM”) program. The BYOM program simplifies the enrollment process and enables members to choose the membership type, amenities and pricing structure they prefer.

We have three principal sources of revenue:

1)	Our primary revenue source is membership services revenue derived from the operation of our fitness centers. Membership services revenue includes amounts paid by our members in the form of enrollment fees and monthly membership and dues payments. It also includes revenue generated from sales of personal training services provided.
	Currently, most of our members choose to purchase their membership under our multi-year value plan by paying an initial enrollment fee and by making monthly payments throughout the term of their membership. Monthly payments under our value plan are generally fixed during an initial obligatory payment period, for up to three years pursuant to retail installment contracts. After the initial obligatory period of membership, our members enter the non-obligatory renewal period of membership and continue to make monthly payments to maintain membership privileges. Under sales methods in effect during 2004, non-obligatory term membership monthly payments were substantially discounted from the initial obligatory term monthly payment levels. Following the nationwide 2005 implementation of our new BYOM pricing plan, monthly payments in the renewal phase of membership carry a smaller or no discount to the initial period monthly payment level. Our members may also choose to purchase a prepaid membership for periods up to three years. Members choosing our “pay-as-you-go” membership payment option make month-to-month non-obligatory payments after paying an initial enrollment fee. Ongoing membership dues for members in renewal periods may be paid monthly or annually or may be prepaid for multiple future periods.
	Our membership services revenue is generally collected as cash on a basis that does not conform to its basis of revenue recognition, resulting in the deferral of significant amounts received early in the membership period that will be recognized in later periods. This recognition methodology is a consequence of our long history of offering membership programs with higher levels of monthly or total payments during the initial period of membership, generally for periods of up to three years, followed by discounted payments in the subsequent renewal phase of membership. Our revenue recognition objective is to recognize an even amount of membership revenue from our members throughout their entire term of membership, regardless of the payment pattern. As a result, we make estimates of membership term length on a composite group basis of all members joining in a period, and set up separate amortization pools based on estimated total group membership term length averages. Estimated term lengths used to create the separate amortization term groups for revenue recognition are based on historical average membership terms experienced by our members.
	Membership services revenue related to members who maintain their membership for periods beyond the initial term of membership is deferred as collected and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of total membership. Our historical evaluation of members who have joined since 1996 resulted in a determination that approximately 35% of originated monthly payment revenue from our members is subject to deferral to be recognized over their entire term of membership. As a result, we defer all collections received from members in this group, and recognize as membership service revenue these amounts based on five amortization pools with amortization periods of 39 months to 245 months, representing composite average membership terms of membership of between 37 months and 360 months. Membership services revenues that have been prepaid in their entirety for the initial term of membership are recognized in a similar manner, except that the estimate of the group expected to remain a member for only the initial period of membership is amortized over 36 months. Based on the historical attrition patterns of members who pay their membership in full upon origination, approximately 69% of such membership revenue relates to members who maintain their membership beyond the initial three-year period of membership, which is amortized using the same five amortization pools as described for monthly collections.
	We evaluate the actual attrition patterns of all of our deferred revenue pools on a quarterly basis and make adjustments from our historical experience to take into account actual attrition by origination month groups. As we determine that our new estimated attrition is different than the initial estimate based on historical patterns, we recognize as a change in accounting estimate a charge or credit to membership services revenue in the period of evaluation to cumulatively adjust past recognition and future deferred revenue amounts. Under our deferred revenue methodology, an increase in membership attrition rates will result in an increase in revenue in the period of adjustment as it is determined that amounts previously deferred to future periods of membership no longer need to be deferred. Alternatively, a decrease in membership attrition rates can reduce membership services revenue as it is determined that amounts previously considered earned are required to be deferred for recognition in future periods.
	Membership services revenue comprised approximately 93 percent and 92 percent of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Membership services revenue is recognized at the later of when membership services fees are collected or earned. Membership services fees collected but not yet earned are included as a deferred revenue liability on the balance sheet.
2)	We generate revenue from the sales of products at our in-fitness center retail stores including Bally-branded and third-party nutritional products, juice bar nutritional drinks and fitness-related convenience products such as clothing. Revenue from product sales represented approximately 5 percent and 6 percent of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
3)	The balance of our revenue (approximately 2 percent for each of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004), primarily consists of franchising revenue, guest fees and specialty programs such as martial arts programs. We also generate revenue through granting concessions in our facilities to operators offering wellness-related services such as physical therapy, from sales of Bally-branded products by third-parties, and from weight management programs. Revenue from sales of in-club advertising and sponsorships is also included in this category, which we refer to as miscellaneous revenue.

Our operating costs and expenses are comprised of the following:

1)	Membership services expenses consist primarily of salary, commissions, payroll taxes, benefits, rent, real estate taxes and other occupancy costs, utilities, repairs and maintenance, supplies, administrative support and communications to operate our fitness centers as well as the costs to operate member processing and collection centers. The centers provide contract processing, member relations, billing and collection services.
2)	Retail products expenses consist primarily of the cost of products sold as well as the payroll and related costs of dedicated retail associates.
3)	Advertising expenses consist of our marketing department, media and advertising costs to support fitness center membership growth as well as the growth of our brand.
4)	General and administrative expenses include costs relating to our centralized support functions, such as information technology, accounting, treasury, human resources, procurement, real estate and development and senior management. General and administrative also includes professional services costs such as legal, consulting and auditing as well as expenses related to the various accounting investigations.

26

5) Depreciation and amortization expenses represent primarily the depreciation on our fitness centers, including amortization of leasehold improvements. Owned buildings are depreciated over 35 years and leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the improvements, or the remaining non-cancelable lease terms.

     We evaluate the results of our fitness centers on a two-tiered segment basis (comparable and non-comparable) depending on how long the fitness centers have been open at the measurement date. We include a fitness center in comparable fitness center revenues beginning on the first day of the 13^th full calendar month of the fitness center’s operation, prior to which time we refer to the fitness center as an a non-comparable fitness center and, therefore, an element of non-comparable revenue.

     We measure performance using key operating statistics such as profitability per club, per area and per region. We also evaluate average revenue per member and fitness center operating expenses, with an emphasis on payroll and comparable fitness center revenue growth. We use fitness center cash contribution, cash revenue and EBITDA to evaluate overall performance and profitability on an individual fitness center basis. In addition, we focus on several membership statistics on a fitness center-level and system-wide basis. These metrics include growth of fitness center membership base and growth of system-wide members, fitness center number of workouts per month, fitness center membership sales mix among various membership types and member retention.

     Our primary sources of cash are enrollment fees and monthly dues paid by our members and sales of products and services, primarily personal training. Because enrollment fees and monthly dues are recognized over the later of when such payments are collected or earned, cash received from enrollment fees and monthly dues will often be received before such payments are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

     Our primary capital expenditures relate to the construction of new fitness centers and upgrading and expanding our existing fitness centers. The construction and equipment costs for a new fitness center approximates $3.5 million, on average, which varies based on the costs of construction labor, as well on the planned service offerings and size and configuration of the facility as well as on the market.

     Most of our operating costs are relatively fixed, but compensation costs, including sales compensation costs, are variable based on membership origination and personal training sales trends. Because of the large pool of relatively fixed operating costs and the minimal incremental cost of carrying additional members, increased membership origination and better membership retention lead ultimately to increased profitability. Accordingly, we are focusing on member acquisition and member retention as key objectives.

     We believe our substantially fixed operating cost structure and stable maintenance capital expenditure requirements will result in relatively predictable cash requirements for the next few years.

     We believe we are well positioned to benefit from continued growth in club membership, which, according to the IHRSA’s Industry Data Survey of the Health and Fitness Club Industry, increased 4.8% in 2004 and 8.5% in 2003. Conversely, increased competition, including competition from very small fitness centers (less than 3,000 square feet), will require us to continue to reinvest in our facilities to remain competitive. Furthermore, price discounting by competitors, particularly in competitive markets, may negatively impact our membership growth and/or our yield-per-member. Our principal strategies are to improve member origination and retention and to maintain/increase yield-per-member by enhancing customer service, promoting and improving our products and services and improving operating efficiencies. We believe the BYOM program provides a unique opportunity to combine a customized membership offering with this expanded service philosophy.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that are included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K that is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In most cases, the accounting policies utilized by the Company are the only ones permissible under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for businesses in its industry. However, the application of certain of these policies requires significant judgment or a complex estimation process that can affect the results of operations and financial position of the Company, as well as additional information provided in its related footnote disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable. If actual amounts are ultimately different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Company’s results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. The accounting policies and estimates that can have a significant impact on the operating results, financial position and footnote disclosures of the Company are described in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Summary of revenue recognition method

     The Company’s stated strategy is to grow the number of members by increasing new member acquisition and improving retention. The Company also intends to grow product and services revenue.

     Membership services revenue, which includes personal training as well as membership revenue, is recognized at the later of when received or earned. See Note 4, Deferred Revenue.

     Personal training services are generally provided shortly after payment is received by the Company, which results in a relatively low and constant deferred revenue liability balance. As a result, personal training revenues recognized are relatively consistent with the level of cash received.

     Cash collected for membership revenues, on the other hand, is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over periods generally ranging up to 20 years based on expected member attrition and cash collection patterns using historical trends, with the vast majority of membership revenues being recognized over six years or less. As a result, membership revenue recognized in the current period is largely attributable to the amortization of previously deferred cash receipts from prior periods up to 20 years earlier. Decreasing attrition will result in more cash collected as well as lengthening the amortization period, while increasing attrition would decrease cash collected but accelerate the recognition of deferred revenue. Going forward, we will monitor actual retention and cash collection patterns and record any adjustments necessary to reflect the impact of changes in such patterns on a quarterly basis. Due to the above factors, cash collected for membership revenue during a period has little impact on revenues recognized during such period. As a result, management considers both the cash collected for membership services as well as the revenue recognized in evaluating the Company’s results of operations.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

     Our operations are subject to seasonal factors and, therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

     Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $269.0 million compared to $259.0 million in 2004, an increase of $10.0 million (4%). The increase in net revenues resulted from the following:

• Membership revenue increased to $221.5 million from $210.1 million in 2004, an increase of $11.4 million (5%) from the prior year. The increase in membership revenue in the current year is the result of a 1% increase in the average number of members to 3.688 million members for 2005 as well as a 5% increase in the average monthly membership revenue per member to $20.02 for 2005.

• Cash collections of membership revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $223.6 million, an increase of $11.6 million (5%) from 2004. This increase is the result of an increase in advance payments of dues and membership fees and an increase in cash received from initial term monthly payments. See Note 4, Deferred Revenue.

29

• Personal training revenue decreased to $28.4 million from $28.9 million in 2004, a decrease of $.5 million (2%), resulting from a consolidation of the management of the personal training business.

• Retail products revenue decreased to $14.3 million from $15.0 million in 2004, a decrease of $.7 million (5%), primarily reflecting lower retail sales in the Company’s fitness centers.

• Miscellaneous revenue decreased to $4.7 million from $5.0 million in 2004 primarily due to lower revenue from initial franchising fees.

     Operating costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $249.3 million compared to $258.7 million during 2004, a decrease of $9.4 million (4%). This decrease resulted from the following:

• Membership services expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased $9.1 million (5%) from 2004, reflecting increases in occupancy and insurance costs offset by a reduction in personnel costs as a result of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives.

• Retail products costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased $1.0 million (7%) from 2004 as a result of lower retail sales in the Company’s fitness centers.

• Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased $2.0 million (10%) from 2004 primarily from a reduction in fees paid for media and reduced production costs.

• Information technology expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $2.1 million (57%) from 2004 as a result of costs associated with improved controls, compliance and security enhancements.

• Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $1.0 million (9%) from 2004, primarily as a result of costs incurred in connection with the investigations and litigation related to the restatement of the Company’s financial statements as well as an increase in insurance costs.

• Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased $.2 million (1%) from 2004 reflecting the relatively high proportion of the Company’s facilities that are in excess of 15 years old, which is the longest period over which the Company depreciates its leasehold improvements.

     Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $19.3 million to $19.7 million as compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the increase in membership revenue and the decrease in membership services expenses as described above.

30

     Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $2.4 million to $18.3 million primarily due to a higher average effective interest rate as a result of increases in general interest rate levels and the replacement of the Company’s accounts receivable securitization with a higher average rate term loan during the fourth quarter of 2004.

     Due to the items described above, net income increased by $17.2 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to a loss of $15.8 million for 2004.

31

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

	Three months ended March 31
		2005			2004
	(As Restated
	See Note 2)
Cash provided by operating activities		$	23,729		$	13,569
Cash used in investing activities			(8,430	)		(12,933	)
Cash used in financing activities			(1,403	)		(1,933	)
Increase (decrease) in cash		$	13,896		$	(1,297	)

     The Company requires substantial cash flows to fund its capital spending and working capital requirements. We maintain a substantial amount of debt, the terms of which require significant interest payments each year. We currently anticipate our cash flow, and availability under our $100 million revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our expected needs for working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, changes in terms or other requirements by vendors including our credit card payment processor, could negatively impact cash flows and liquidity. We do not know whether our cash flow and availability under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our needs in 2007 when our $300 million 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are due. If any such events were to occur, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings. There is no assurance that any such funds will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If such funds are unavailable to us, we may default on our Senior Subordinated Notes our Senior Notes and our senior credit facility. In addition, upon a default under our senior credit facility, we will not be able to draw upon the revolving credit facility and other indebtedness. We may not be able to operate our business.

     Debt

     At March 31, 2005 the Company had $4 million in borrowings and $9.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under the $100 million revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit which are limited to $30 million. At March 31, 2005, the average rate on borrowings under the revolving credit and term loan facility was 7.04%. On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver to its term loan and revolving credit facility that, among other things, excluded certain expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the SEC and Department of Justice investigations and other matters from the calculation of various financial covenants, waived certain events of default related to, among other things, delivery of financial information and leasehold mortgages, reduced permitted capital expenditures, and increased financial reporting requirements. As of March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended.

     The Company’s unrestricted Canadian subsidiary was not in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement at March 31, 2005. As a result, the outstanding amount of $4 million has been classified as current.

     Risk Factors

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with those certain risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

32

Item 3. Interest Rate Risk and Market Risk

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on certain of its outstanding debt. The outstanding loan balance under its bank credit facility bears interest at variable rates based upon prevailing short-term interest rates in the United States and Europe. Based on the average outstanding balance of the variable rate obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2005, a 100 basis point change in rates would have changed interest expense by approximately $.5 million for the three month period.

     The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the fixed interest commitment on $200 million of outstanding principal on the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes was swapped for a variable rate commitment based on the LIBOR rate plus 6.01% (9.42% at March 31, 2005). A 100 basis point change in the interest rate on the portion of the debt subject to the swap would have changed interest expense by approximately $.5 million for the three month period.

     Foreign Exchange Risk

     The Company has operations in Canada, which are denominated in local currency. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to the risk of future currency exchange rate fluctuations, which are accounted for as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity until realized. Therefore, changes from reporting period to reporting period in the exchange rates between the Canadian currency and the U.S. dollar have had and will continue to have an impact on the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity reported by the Company, and such effect may be material in any individual reporting period. In addition, exchange rate fluctuation will have an impact on the U.S. dollar value realized from the settlement of intercompany transactions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     This Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures should be read in conjunction with Item 9A Controls and Procedures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the SEC on November 30, 2005.

     As previously reported, on March 25, 2004 we were notified by Ernst & Young LLP (“E & Y”), our principal accountant, that it had resigned. E & Y’s resignation became effective on May 10, 2004 with the filing with the SEC of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2004. Following the Company’s issuance in April 2004 of its financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2003, reflecting certain changes in its accounting methods and in accounting principles and a restatement of its accounting for prepaid dues, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission commenced an investigation. On August 19, 2004, the Audit Committee authorized an investigation of certain aspects of past financial statements filed by the Company. The Company’s Audit Committee investigation uncovered errors in the Company’s accounting and the Audit Committee determined that the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 should be restated and should no longer be relied upon. The Company issued press releases on November 16, 2004 and February 8, 2005 with respect to the findings of the Audit Committee’s investigation and included the press releases as exhibits to its current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 16, 2004 and February 9, 2005. We decided to delay the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q until this matter was resolved.

     The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

     Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Based on our evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, which included consideration of certain material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and our inability to file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the statutory time period, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that as of March 31, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light of the material weaknesses, in 2005, we implemented additional analyses and procedures to ensure that the financial statements we issue are prepared in accordance with GAAP and are fairly presented in all material respects. The Company has performed the additional analyses and procedures with respect to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR)

     No changes in the period ended March 31, 2005; see Item 9A-Controls and Procedures in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a discussion of controls and procedures for the Company.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

LITIGATION

Lawsuit in Massachusetts

     On March 11, 2005, plaintiffs filed a complaint in the matter of Fit Tech Inc., et al. v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation, et al., Case No. 05-CV-10471 MEL, pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. This action is related to an earlier action brought in 2003 by the same plaintiffs in the same court alleging breach of contract and violation of certain earn-out provisions of an agreement whereby the Company acquired certain fitness centers from plaintiffs in return for shares of Bally stock. The 2005 complaint asserted new claims against the Company for violation of state and federal securities laws on the basis of allegations that misrepresentations in Bally’s financial statements resulted in Bally’s stock price to be artificially inflated at the time of the Fit-Tech transaction. Plaintiffs also asserted additional claims for breach of contract and common law claims. Certain employment disputes between the parties to this litigation are also subject to arbitration in Chicago.

     Plaintiffs’ claims are brought against the Company and its current Chairman and CEO Paul Toback, as well as former Chairman and CEO Lee Hillman and former CFO John Dwyer. Plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed all claims under the federal securities laws, leaving breach of contract, common law and state securities claims pending. By stipulation of the parties, the 2005 claims have been stayed pending restatement of the Company’s financial statements. Under the current schedule, an amended consolidated complaint is due 60 days after the restatement, with motions to dismiss due thereafter. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this action.

Department of Justice Investigation

     In February 2005, the United States Justice Department commenced a criminal investigation in connection with the Company’s restatement. The investigation is being conducted by the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this investigation.

Other

     The Company is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to its business, including claims arising from accidents at its fitness centers. In the opinion of management, the Company is adequately insured against such claims and lawsuits, and any ultimate liability arising out of such claims and lawsuits should not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. In addition, from time to time, customer complaints are investigated by various governmental bodies. In the opinion of management, none of these other complaints or investigations currently pending should have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

34

     In addition, we are, and have been in the past, named as defendants in a number of purported class action lawsuits based on alleged violations of state and local consumer protection laws and regulations governing the sale, financing and collection of membership fees. To date we have successfully defended or settled such lawsuits without a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation.
