If Bally was really interested in a new marketing strategy, they would use the latest obesity data from CDC and other reliable sources to their benefit. They could guarantee that if you follow our nutritional and exercise program you'll lose weight. There are reality TV shows on weight loss and Bally could certainly get into that genre as well. The company needs to provide some sort of meaningful pledge to lure Americans into their stores -- and that meaningful pledge should take into account things that 24-Hour Fitness is not offering, and things that relate to the terrible economic conditions that millions of Americans are currently facing. As was mentioned in the Thesis / Introduction, hyping the baby boomers as the most "health-conscious generation in U.S. History" is patently absurd and hurts Bally's credibility.
