                            SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS

                           DATED NOVEMBER 27, 2001

      This Prospectus Supplement should be read in conjunction with the
Prospectus dated November 27, 2001 (the "Prospectus"), which relates to the
issuance from time to time of 6,000,000 shares of the common stock of Bally
Total Fitness Holding Corporation.

      An aggregate of 2,991,451 shares of common stock covered by the Prospectus
were issued recently to the stockholders of Crunch Fitness International, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, in connection with the merger of Crunch with and into a

merger represent approximately 10% of Bally's issued and outstanding common
stock.

      The following former stockholders of Crunch may from time to time offer
for sale for their own account, as described under "Resale of Securities Covered
by this Prospectus", the number of shares of Bally common stock set forth in the
