“We know that a lot of people in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and DC are going to be looking for new spaces to work out, and we
want to open our doors to them to come work out with us this
weekend,” said Patrick Walsh, CEO of parent company Town Sports
International Holdings, Inc. “We have always been about giving to
the community, which is why we also allowed people to use our
facilities for free during the heatwave. We strive to maintain and
foster all-embracing spaces of inclusion and acceptance and want
all of our members to have a sense of comfortability and acceptance
the second they walk through our doors.”
For those planning to make the switch from other gyms, the
sports clubs will waive all initiation fees to help offset the cost
of members’ cancellation fees.
New York Sports Clubs will also donate a minimum of $10,000 to
The Trevor Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to suicide
prevention for the LGBTQ+ youth community.
“We admire The Trevor Project for the work they do and believe
its mission and message of inclusion is aligned with our own,”
Walsh said. “We want the world to be a more welcoming place, and
Town Sports International is striving to play our part in making
that happen.”
