Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (TSI) (Nasdaq: CLUB), a leading owner and operator of fitness clubs in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region, today launched its first annual Rock the Scales weight loss program and $50,000 sweepstakes, open to all New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs members. 


 


As weight loss is on the top of everyones mind in the beginning of the year, TSI is excited to be launching Rock the Scales, a comprehensive eight-week weight loss challenge designed to help our members with their New Years resolutions. By following a customized meal plan and workout routine, members can safely lose one to two pounds per week, with a great sweepstakes incentive, said Bob Giardina, CEO of TSI.  


 


The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association says that 12.4 percent of new gym memberships come in January, the highest percentage of any month by nearly three percent.  We want to do all we can to make sure our current members, as well as new members, have all the tools they need to meet all of their fitness goals for the New Year, continued Mr. Giardina. 


 


Members have access to fitness advice and an easy-to follow eight-week nutrition and meal plan to aid in their New Years weight loss goals. All participants will receive weekly emails filled with valuable advice and insights from Sports Clubs pros, as well as extra support in the clubs. After completing the eight-week challenge, winners will be selected among the registered participants regardless of their weight loss results.
