Ballys atlantic city BALLY’S Celebrates Atlantic City’s historical roots with a SWING DANCE-OFF

By admin, on January 4th, 2011

Don’t miss Bally’s Swing Dance-Off next Thursday, January 13th 2011, Celebrating Atlantic City’s Historical Roots.  There will be:

*Live Performances by The Boilermaker Jazz Band
and
Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra*
as well as *$5,000 in Cash Prizes Awarded for Style and Stamina*

There is no better time than the New Year to improve your dance moves or simply show them off high-style jazz and swing moves, that is. Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City will continue its ongoing commemoration of the city’s rich history during the 1920s this winter at Bally’s when they kick off  the very first Swing Era Dance-Off , featuring the music and dance styles of the 20s-40s, on Thursday January 13 from 6pm-12am. The Dance-Off, which will take place at the appropriately swing-inspired Grand Ballroom, will invite couples to participate in this six-hour competition to show off their signature dance moves and stamina to keep the swingin’ going. Couples can register for one of two events:  a stamina event, spanning the better part of six hours of straight dancing, and a true-to-form, swing dance skills competition.  All dancers participating in the competition will be asked to dress in 1920′s-inspired styles as well.  A half-hour special instructional lesson will also be offered from 5:30pm-6:00pm in the Grand Ballroom.  The winning couple from each category will earn themselves a handsome reward of $2,500 and a 1920s-inspired weekend at Bally’s, as well as bragging rights!
The hot sounds of the jazz age will come alive for dancers with sizzling live performances by two of the swing scene’s leading orchestras: The Boilermaker Jazz Band , the Pittsburgh-based 7-piece group who have been wowing fans  since bandleader Paul Consentino formed the band at Carnegie Mellon University in 1988, and NYC’s popular Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra, whose authentic styles and sounds draw thousands to their events each year.
Several renowned swing instructors/professional dancers from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia, will be on the judging panel and the evening will be hosted by acclaimed swing DJ Ryan Swift, which hosts the popular FRIM FRAM JAM every Thursday in NYC and is a host on the scene’s leading website/online radio network, Yehoodi.com.
“Dating back to the 1920′s, Atlantic City has long been known as one of America’s coveted seaside destination, recently brought forth by Judge Nelson’s book and the newly-minted HBO series “BOARDWALK EMPIRE,” said Don Marrandino, Eastern Division President of Caesars Entertainment .  ”With the addition of the ‘Reflections of AC’ self-guided tour, the ‘Prohibition Era’ pricing at our food and beverage outlets and the ‘Swing Era Dance-Off’ at Bally’s, Atlantic City continues to evolve as a sought-after resort destination and leader of diverse entertainment offerings.”
**Event rules and details can be found at www.ballysac.com AFTER December 28, 2010.  Dancers interested in pre-registering can send an email starting MON. JAN. 3 to: BallysSwing@harrahs.com

 Bally Total Fitness leaving Los Angeles

As the New Year begins, you can expect your inboxes to be flooded with special offers from a variety of fitness clubs hoping that the extra holiday pounds that some have gained will drive people to their establishments.
Los Angeles residents have plenty of gyms to choose from, with gyms such as 24-Hour Fitness, Gold’s Gym, LA Fitness, and the local YMCA. However, Bally Total Fitness will no longer be a part of this extensive list of choices because LA Fitness has bought out all Los Angeles-based Bally locations.
Although Bally signs and advertisements still exist at some Los Angeles facilities, LA Fitness plans to make many strategic changes throughout the next couple of years.
“We will be servicing all of the membership agreements that we acquired from Bally,” said Paul Norris, LA Fitness Principal. “The majority of clubs we acquired will remain open. We plan to add new equipment to many of the clubs, and we also have plans to remodel, expand or relocate a number of the clubs to larger and newer facilities.”
Some Bally members have expressed concern with rising membership fees and interruptions in gym services, such as fitness classes and personal training sessions.
Many customers are excited about the change and feel that Bally Total Fitness could use innovative management to turn the fitness facilities around.
In the last couple of years, Bally faced several challenges, filing for bankruptcy twice and fighting financial fraud charges.
Bally Total Fitness continues to serve growing markets located in San Francisco, Houston, New York, and Denver.

Fitness Centers 

Lack of exercise and being overweight are two of the major health risks for people of all ages. Fitness means being in good physical condition. We often think of athletes as being very fit. They tend to focus on performance-related fitness for sports. Doing more physical activity improves your fitness and health, no matter what size or shape you are. Making small changes in your daily lifestyle helps you improve your fitness. Fitness helps you feel better and have more energy for work and leisure time. You will feel more able to do things like playing with your kids, gardening, dancing, or biking. Children and teens who are fit may have more energy and better focus at school. When you stay active and fit, you burn more calories, even when you are at rest. This can help you lose weight if you need to. It also can help you to sleep better, handle stress better, and keep your mind sharp. Fitness is good for your heart, lungs, bones, and joints. And it lowers your risk for heart attack, diabetes, colon cancer, and high blood pressure.

Bally total fitness cancel membership How to Cancel a Bally's Total Fitness Membership

By Si Kingston, eHow Contributor

Bally Total Fitness gyms are a popular gym franchise in the United States. Thousands of members pay monthly to have access to Bally's fitness equipment, facilities and fitness classes. If you no longer want your Bally membership, you can cancel. Bally has two basic memberships: monthly and term. Monthly members pay month to month, while term members pay at least several months in advance. You aren't entitled to a refund of any membership fees unless you have a term membership, and you must cancel due to uncontrollable circumstances such as military orders or disability.

Instructions

1 - Review your Bally membership agreement. Your cancellation rights vary depending on your membership plan. For example, Bally's Monthly Payment Memberships allow you to cancel your membership 10 days before your next payment due date. If you cancel the membership two days before the next payment due date, for example, you will still be charged for that next month. If you no longer have a copy of your Bally membership agreement, email the support team to request a copy (see Resources). There is a $10 replacement fee, as of 2010, for a copy of your agreement.

2 - Call the Bally member support team at 866-402-2559. Request that your membership be canceled. The representative will inform you that you must draft a letter requesting cancellation, and what information you must include in that letter.

3 - Draft a cancellation letter. Be sure to include all required information. For example, if you must cancel due to military orders, you should include a copy of any military paperwork that verifies the order. Send the letter to: Bally Total Fitness, P.O. Box 96421, Washington, DC 20090-6241. Once Bally receives your letter, it can take up to 10 days to process your cancellation request.

	Bally Total Fitness in Los Angeles, CA ★★★★★ By Darren J. just started working out here and its been a good start. ..equipment is clean staff is friendly and it doesn't seem too too busy. So far so good, i hope they can keep it up!!
	Bally Total Fitness in Saddle Brook, NJ ★★★☆☆ By k d. I have been a Ballys member since 1989, I am an avid gym goer and have enjoyed Ballys in several cities where I have lived (Cincinnati, Atlanta, Miami, Baltimore). Just recently relocated to NJ and this gym is closest to my residence. It is over-crowded and filled with people who have NO etiquette or NO knowledge on how to behave in a gym! Lose the phones, wipe off your equipment, rack your weights...juice heads slamming weights because they want people to look at them, all annoying. I guess you get what you pay for, if my membership didn't transfer with me each time i moved, I would not go to this gym. Check it out before you buy a membership
	Bally Total Fitness in San Marcos, CA ★☆☆☆☆ By Kenneth D. They closed in December 2008. The place was always full of non-paying patrons let in by the staff so it's not a surprise it closed. Absolutely NO Management!
	Bally Total Fitness in South San Francisco, CA ★★★★☆ By Joel S. More spacious and lighter than the Alemany Pit Bally. No childcare. Seem to be enough trainers on the floor. Group exercise has deteriorated badly over the last two years. Not as clean as it used to be since they now only have janitors after hours. I've used everything except personal training and yoga. Like most gyms, it's up to you to get a workout. Crowded during the evening, so you have to be flexible about what you use. There don't seem to be any especially interesting or challenging classes. Alemany's are better. The members and staff are friendly and helpful. The place is cheap, fairly clean and they maintain the equipment. I'd recommend it for people on a budget and advise them to come during off-hours if they can and don't expect much from the classes. Ask the membership folks to find a deal that's affordable for you. Gotta disagree with the reviewers who found it pricey or the location "dangerous.' It's between Safeway and Long's in a small, decently lit mall.
	Bally Total Fitness in Tacoma, WA ★★★★☆ By Elizabeth P. Ballys is great for people looking for a cheaper gym membership and who want to work out without feeling a like they're at a meat market. The staff is really friendly, and they have great classes (Step & Sculpt especially). The weight room is a little old and crowded tho. Also you won't be pressured to upgrade your membership or pay for personal training.
	Bally Total Fitness in Washington, D.C. ★★★★☆ By Jeff G. I won a free month membership to this gym from a promotion outside where I had to guess my weight. The gym is fairly large, but the best part is the staff. I was able to use a personal trainer for a short period of time, and it was amazing. This man knew everything about fitness, and although I do not still go to that particular gym, I learned a great deal about myself and my workouts. The only problem I have is that it is a little expensive.
