NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Town Sports
International (TSI), operators of New York, Boston, Washington,
D.C. and Philadelphia Sports Clubs, is honoring first
responders with a special discounted membership. This
month-to-month membership is available to police, firefighters, EMS
workers and military personnel for $20 per month for life, in appreciation to those
who put their lives on the line to help save the lives of
others.
Like many other New Yorkers and beyond, Town Sports
International felt the September 11th
attacks very close to home. Four of TSI's downtown NYSC
locations were closed due to damage in the days following the
attacks. The 30 Wall Street NYSC location opened as a 24-hour
"Comfort Center" for World Trade Center rescue and relief workers.
Many hundreds of workers took advantage of cots, food, water and
medical supplies provided by NYSC and the Red Cross.
"With the tenth anniversary of September
11th upon us, we continue to honor all first responders to
let them know that we are truly grateful for all of their hard work
and sacrifice," said Robert
Giardina, President and CEO of TSI. "We hold them in the
highest regard and will never forget the bravery they exhibited.
We are appreciative of every first responder's daily
commitment to keep us safe."
The first responders' membership offer begins August 11th and will be available for first
responders in all markets New York Sports Clubs also calls home
(including Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs, and
Philadelphia Sports Clubs) through September
11th. For more information on membership details and

The first responders' offer will be supported with a print
advertising campaign that is scheduled to appear beginning
