MySportsClubs -- About
Town Sports International (TSI) health club company is the largest in the Northeastern United States. TSI owns and operates the Sports Clubs Network of clubs, which includes New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs. Since 1974, the Sports Clubs Network has since grown to include more than 135 health and fitness facilities in four major metropolitan areas—New York, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia—with membership totaling more than 350,000. There are also three locations in Switzerland: the Forum and the Joggeli Fitness Clubs in Basel and the Luxor Club in Zurich.

1 February 1993, New York (NY) Times, "Fitness Clubs Vie for Market Share" by Douglas Martin, pg. B4:
Town Sports International, the 20-year-old parent company of New York Sports Clubs of which Mr. Tascher is chairman, has done more than survive. Since 1985, its revenues have grown from $2.5 million to a projected $21.2 million for the year ending May 31 as its clubs have expanded from 5 to 20, 13 of them in the New York City area. Some 40,000 people belong to their clubs, which are also in Boston, Baltimore, Washington and Switzerland.
