C) You can prove that his use of the domain is effecting your company. (ie, customer complains, BBB reports)
Other then that, your SOL.. i would go with a new company name if i were you.

Thanks. I didn't have a trademark prior so it looks like im SOL. I'm going to make him an offer. The name has nothing really to do with his company so I don't see why he would not be open to it.
If he says No then we are going to have to go back to the (BLANK)FITNESS version of the name. We will still use the (BLANK)FIT as short form on advertisments along with the (BLANK)FITNESS.COM name.
Thanks for the answers.
