Fitness International (LA Fitness) Acquires XSport Fitness, expands into Illinois

Jill Greuling, President of Club Operations at Fitness International, stated, "This expansion solidifies our position as one of the largest privately-held health club operators in the United States and provides the opportunity to bring our best-in-class fitness experience to more people across the country."

In an email to XSport Fitness members, it was announced that XSport would exit the health and fitness club business, with the transition to LA Fitness effective July 16, 2024. Fitness International will honor all active membership agreements and their specific club-access privileges.

Those 35 clubs all around Chicago have now been eaten up by one of the largest mid-sized gym chains in the country. 

• Those were 24-hour-a-day locations, so TBD on how they'll operate going forward. 
• We also expect to see a blend of amenities happening, aka some options (pool, basketball, etc) closing and some opening up. 

We'll have an updated count for either LA Fitness/Esporta soon: it just depends on how Fitness International decides to operate their new locations.
