"I contacted Bally's 866 number and was told first my membership (and they found my info) was bought by LaFitness. Called LaFitness and they couldn't find my membership. Called back Bally's and was told they have nothing under my name or membership number and that my lifetime membership that was purchased in 1989 was no longer valid." (sic)

In October of 2011, Dundalk Patch also featured the story of power lifting achievements at the North Point Boulevard center, which at the time was still Bally’s gym.
