Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
   
  Logan, Utah, May 30, 2006 - ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. (the "Company") today announced that it has engaged DJM Asset Management, LLC ("DJM Asset Management") to advise the Company on the disposition of its retail store operations and lease locations throughout the United States. In this role, the Company and DJM Asset Management are marketing approximately 67 stores for sublease, assignment or other disposition.

As a result of management’s review of its business strategies, plans and operations, on May 30, 2006, management determined that it will discontinue its retail store operations. The Company expects its retail store operations to cease by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2007. At this time, the Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of the costs associated with discontinuing its retail store operations or an estimate of the amount or the range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with discontinuing its retail store operations or the amount or the range of amounts of charges that will result in future cash expenditures. The Company will file an amended report on Form 8-K within four business days after it makes a determination of such costs and estimates or range of estimates.

DJM Asset Management, a Gordon Brothers Group company, is a diversified real estate consulting and advisory firm. DJM Asset Management purchases, evaluates, restructures, disposes of and facilitates the acquisition of all types of real estate both nationally and internationally.

When used in this Form 8-K, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
