A private-equity arm of Morgan Stanley (MS) on Tuesday said it acquired gym operator Impact Fitness from Bain Capital and Bridges Fund Management for an undisclosed amount.

Morgan Stanley Capital Partners, a middle-market focused private-equity team within Morgan Stanley Investment Management, said it acquired Impact in partnership with the gym operator's management team.

Impact, based in Brighton, Mich., is a Planet Fitness franchisee that operates 29 gyms in the U.S. and Canada.

Bain acquired a majority stake in Impact in 2017 in one of the first deals for Bain Capital Double Impact, the private-equity firm's socially conscious investment fund.
