The chairman and chief executive of Life Time Fitness Inc. on Monday reported he raised $5.6 million through forced sales of company stock to cover margin calls. Bahram Akradi sold 287,800 shares for an average price of $19.61 a share, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

After his most recent sales, Akradi reported ownership of 2.57 million remaining shares. Shares of Life Time closed Monday at $18.66, down 55 cents.
