        Bally is opening its doors, free of charge at all of its
        locations as part of a nationwide effort to encourage people
        to "work out" their tax day stress! Bally's fitness experts
        will also distribute free "stress relief guides" outlining a
        variety of stress-reducing guidelines, techniques and
        exercises.

        excellent way to combat stress. As part of its "Every Body
        Needs Something" educational initiative, Bally is dedicated to
        helping Americans live a healthier and more balanced
        lifestyle. With regular exercise, Americans will find that
        they can better handle stress on tax day and in their everyday
