Exhibit 10.1

RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT AGREEMENT

     This RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of August 15, 2007 (the “Agreement”) by and among (i) Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“BTF”), and each of its affiliates that are debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases (collectively, “Bally”), and (ii) Liberation Investments, L.P. and Liberation Investments, Ltd. (collectively, the “Plan Support Parties”). Bally and the Plan Support Parties shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Parties.”

W H E R E A S :

     A. On July 31, 2007 (the “Petition Date”), BTF and certain of its Affiliates filed chapter 11 petitions under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1330 (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) in order to effectuate a financial and corporate restructuring of Bally (such chapter 11 cases, as more particularly defined in the Amended Plan, the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

     B. Bally, certain then-holders of the Prepetition Senior Notes (as defined in the Amended Plan, as defined below), and certain holders of the Prepetition Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Consenting Subordinated Noteholders”) are parties to that certain Restructuring Support Agreement dated as of June 15, 2007, (the “Prior Noteholder RSA”), pursuant to which each of the Consenting Subordinated Holders and the Prepetition Senior Note holders signatory thereto agreed to vote all Prepetition Senior Notes and/or Prepetition Subordinated Notes beneficially owned by it or for which it is the nominee, investment manager, or advisor for beneficial holders thereof in favor of a joint prepackaged plan of reorganization described therein (the “Original Plan”), which plan of reorganization was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date.

     C. Section 5 of the Prior Noteholder RSA entitled Bally to solicit and consummate any higher and better Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Prior Noteholder RSA).

     D. Subsequently, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Prior Noteholder RSA, Bally determined to amend and restate the Original Plan on the terms and conditions set forth in the form of the First Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization, including all exhibits and schedules thereto, attached to the New Noteholder RSA (as defined below) as Exhibit C thereto (as the same may be modified from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the New Noteholder RSA, the Investment Agreement, and the Subscription and Backstop Purchase Agreement, the “Amended Plan”), which Amended Plan is based on either (i) equity financing from Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund L.P. (collectively, the “Investors”), or (ii) debt financing from the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (or Affiliates thereof) and/or other applicable creditors. The Amended Plan provides the same or better treatment of the claims of each class of creditors and equity holders of Bally, and the Parties hereto believe that the modified treatment reflected in the Amended Plan is not adverse as compared with the Original Plan or the term sheet attached to the Prior Noteholder RSA.

     E. On August 15, 2007, Bally, Investors, the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders and the holders of a majority Prepetition Senior Notes (the “Consenting Senior Noteholders”) entered into a restructuring support agreement dated as of August 15, 2007 (the “New Noteholder RSA”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, (i) the parties thereto consented to the modifications included in the Amended Plan and agreed not to object to the Amended Plan or take any action that would delay or be inconsistent with the consummation of the Amended Plan, and (ii) the Consenting Subordinated Holders and the Consenting Senior Noteholders agreed that their votes in favor of the Original Plan would be deemed to be votes in favor of the Amended Plan.

     F. In furtherance of the Amended Plan and the restructuring contemplated therein (the “Restructuring”), concurrently with this Agreement, Bally and the Investors have into that certain Investment Agreement dated as of August 15, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Investment Agreement”) setting forth, among other things, the terms of the Investors’ commitment to make capital contributions to the reorganized BTF as contemplated by the Amended Plan. The Parties’ obligations under the Investment Agreement are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

     G. Bally has filed (i) a motion for an order authorizing Bally to enter into the New Noteholder RSA, this Agreement and the Investment Agreement and approving the break-up fee and expense provisions included in the Investment Agreement (the “Approval Motion”), (ii) a motion for an order authorizing Bally pursuant to Section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 (the “Section 1127(a) Motion”) to modify their Original Plan in the form of the Amended Plan and finding that the Amended Plan does not adversely affect any class of creditors whose votes were solicited for the Original Plan and that the Amended Plan is deemed accepted by all creditors who have previously accepted the Original Plan, and (iii) a motion for an order authorizing Bally to assume the Prior Noteholder RSA (the “Assumption Motion”).

     H. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Plan Support Parties agree that they have no objection to confirmation of the Amended Plan without resolicitation of votes from any class of creditors under Bankruptcy Rule 3019 or Section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     I. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to further implement the Amended Plan and the Investment Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE,in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Party, intending to be legally bound hereby, agrees as follows:

1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Appendix to this Agreement.

Any Plan Support Party acquiring any such additional Common Stock or other claims shall notify Bally, in writing, of any Common Stock or other claims acquired by it within three Business Days of the execution of an agreement (or trade confirmation) in respect of such acquisition.

12.Waiver.
