The company was formed in 1984 and is based in Irvine, California. HistoryLA Fitness, previously Rainbow Nautilus was founded in 1983 by founders Chin Yi and Lisa Maria Novins. In 1984 Louis Welch, President & CEO partnered with Chinyol Yi changing the name of the corporation with one location at the corner of Hollenbeck Avenue and Arrow Highway in Covina, a suburb of Los Angeles, California.[1] Official records describing the company's history and growth are few{{Citation needed|date=August 2018}}. Through the mid-1990s, the company expanded by acquiring under-performing fitness clubs in southern California, and by developing, opening and operating newly constructed properties. In 2007, the company expanded outside of the United States by acquiring six fitness clubs in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 2010, the company acquired ten locations in Phoenix from Pure Fitness Arizona.[2] Within a year, all but one of the former Pure Fitness clubs were closed. {{citation needed|date=September 2017}} In the 2009 Collier Township shooting, also referred to as the LA Fitness shooting because it took place in an LA Fitness health club in Collier Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, four people were killed.[3] On November 30, 2011, the company completed the acquisition of 171 clubs, for $153M, from Bally Total Fitness.
