Bally Total Fitness Inks Exclusive License Agreement With FAM LLC for New Line of Active Sports Bras & Yoga Pants

Bally Total Fitness (BFT), the nation’s leader in health and fitness, today announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with FAM LLC, through its licensing agent Stone America, to manufacture a full line of licensed sport bras and other adult women’s sportswear for retail distribution.

The new apparel will launch in 2006, beginning with the active sports bra, which will hit store shelves in January. Bally Total Fitness and FAM LLC will also team up to offer other women’s athletic apparel, including yoga pants, which will be available later in the year.

“We are committed to providing consumers with the best fitness and nutrition services, as well as retail products to meet their needs. We are excited to join together with FAM LLC to further enhance our current line of products and think consumers will be pleased with the new offerings,” said Jim McDonald, chief marketing officer for Bally Total Fitness.

The new athletic gear is the latest addition to a full line of retail products already offered by Bally Total Fitness, which include performance supplements, weight management products and energy enhancers, as well as home fitness equipment. These products leverage the strength of the Bally Total Fitness brand to generate revenue at no cost and extend its presence through third party products. All of the Bally Total Fitness products are available online at Amazon.com. In addition, several retail outlets carry select Bally Total Fitness products, including Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, Jewel-Osco, Ralph’s and Albertson’s.

Frank Zarabi, CEO of FAM LLC stated, “We are excited about the opportunity to work with Bally Total Fitness, a nationally recognized name and the leader in the fitness industry. We believe that the Bally Total Fitness logo will give instant credibility to our line of sport bras and other apparel products.”
