ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

      The Company is one of the two leading owners and operators of fitness
clubs in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. As of
March 31, 1999, the Company operated 74 clubs that collectively served
approximately 184,000 members. The Company develops clusters of clubs to serve
densely populated major metropolitan regions in which a high percentage of the
population commutes to work. The Company services such populations by clustering
clubs near the highest concentrations of its target customers' areas of both
employment and residence. The Company's target customer is college-educated,
typically between the ages of 20 and 44 and earns an annual income of
approximately $50,000.

      The Company's goal is to develop the premier health club network in each
of the major metropolitan regions it enters. Management believes that clustering
clubs allows the Company to achieve strategic operating advantages that enhance
its ability to achieve this goal. In entering new regions, the Company develops
these clusters by initially opening or acquiring clubs located in the more
central urban markets of the region and then branching out from these urban
centers to suburbs and ancillary communities. Capitalizing on this clustering of
clubs, as of March 31, 1999, approximately half of the Company's members
participated in a membership plan that allows unlimited access to all of the
Company's clubs for a higher membership fee.

      The Company has executed this strategy successfully in the New York region
through the network of clubs it operates under its NYSC brand name. The Company
is the largest fitness club operator in Manhattan with 22 locations and operates
a total of 59 clubs under the NYSC name within a defined radius of New York
City. The Company is in the process of more fully developing clusters within a
smaller radius surrounding Washington, DC under its WSC brand name and has begun
establishing similar clusters surrounding Boston and Philadelphia under its BSC
and PSC brand names, respectively. The Company employs localized brand names for
its clubs to create an image and atmosphere consistent with the local community,
and to foster the recognition as a local network of quality fitness clubs rather
than a national chain.

      The Company's operating and selling expenses are comprised of both fixed
and variable costs. The fixed costs include salary expense, rent, utilities,
janitorial expenses and depreciation. Variable costs are primarily related to
sales commissions, advertising and supplies. As clubs mature and increase their
membership base, fixed costs are typically spread over an increasing revenue
base and operating margins tend to improve.

Three  Months  Ended March 31, 1999  Compared to Three  Months Ended March 31,

      Revenues. Revenues increased approximately $13.6 million, or 60.2%, to
$36.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $22.6 million in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from the
continuing maturation of the 30 clubs opened or acquired during fiscal 1998
(approximately $9.7 million) and the six clubs opened or acquired in the first
quarter of 1999 (approximately $700,000). In addition, revenues increased during
the quarter by $3.2 million at the Company's mature clubs resulting from
increased membership.

      Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $13.6 million, or 68.8%,
to $33.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $19.8 million in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to a 75.0% increase
in total months of club operations (the aggregate number of full months of
operation during a given period for the clubs open at the end of such period) to
200 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 114 in the quarter ended March 31,
1998, in addition to the following factors:

      Payroll and related increased by $5.0 million, or 56.3% to $13.8 million
in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $8.8 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. This increase was attributable to the acquisition or opening of
30 clubs in 1998 and six clubs in the first quarter of 1999.

      Club operating increased by $5.6 million or 80.1% to $12.5 million in the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $7.0 million in the quarter ended March 31,
1998. This increase is attributable to the acquisition or opening of 30 clubs in
1998 and six clubs in the first quarter of 1999.

      General and administrative increased by $600,000, or 33.9% to $2.3 million
in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $1.7 million, in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. This increase is attributable to expenses associated with the
Company's expansion, including the expansion of the Company's corporate office
and upgrade of the Company's management information systems. In March 1999 the
Company moved its membership billing processing center to a purpose-built
location separated from its corporate office.

      Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.5 million, or 116.5% to $4.6
million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $2.1 million in the quarter
ended March 31, 1998. This increase is attributable primarily to a full period
of depreciation and amortization for fixed asset additions, acquisitions or
openings since the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and the increased fixed and
intangible assets arising out of new club acquisitions and openings during the
first quarter of 1999.

      Compensation expense in connection with stock options increased $6,000 or
3.3% to $190,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $184,000 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 and relates to preferred stock options.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $100,000 to $2.2 million
during the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $2.3 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. This decrease was primarily due to reduced borrowings
attributable to operations as the Company capitalized interest in connection
with various construction projects.

      Interest Income. Interest income decreased $249,000 to $250,000 during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $499,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998.
The decreased level of interest income was primarily due to lower cash on hand
as the Company invested in acquisitions and new club construction.

      Provision for Income Tax. The income tax provision for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 was $395,000 compared to a tax provision of $465,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.

      Accreted Dividends on Preferred Stock. Accreted dividends on the preferred
stock increased $1.3 million to $1.9 million during the quarter ended March 31,
1999, from $600,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998. This increase is
primarily a result of the accreted dividends on the redeemable senior preferred
stock which was issued in November 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Historically, the Company has satisfied its liquidity needs through cash
from operations and various borrowing arrangements. Principal liquidity needs
have included the acquisition and development of new clubs, debt service
requirements and other capital expenditures necessary to maintain existing
clubs.

      Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $10.5 million compared to $5.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $5.0 million. Clubs opened prior to
1998 contributed an increase in cash flow contribution of approximately $2.6
million. The balance of the increase is principally due to an increase in the
working capital deficit of the Company. Excluding cash and cash equivalents, the
Company normally operates with a working capital deficit because it receives
dues or fee revenue either (I) during the month services are rendered, or (ii)
when paid-in-full, 12 months in advance. As a result, the Company has no
material accounts receivable. In addition, because initiation fees are received
at enrollment and are recognized over the estimated average term of membership,
the Company records a deferred revenue liability. Management believes that the
Company's working capital deficit is an important source of cash flow from
operating activities that it believes will continue to grow as the Company's
membership revenues increase.

      Investing Activities. The Company invested $11.4 million and $1.1 million
in capital expenditures and business acquisitions, respectively during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. The Company currently estimates total capital
expenditure and asset acquisition requirements for the remaining three quarters
of 1999 to approximate $37 million, which includes $8.4 million that management
intends to renovate and expand certain existing clubs, $4.1 million to maintain
certain existing clubs and $1.5 million to further upgrade its management
information systems.

      Financing Activities. The Company has a line of credit with its principal
bank for direct borrowings and letters of credit of up to $25 million. The line
of credit contains restrictive covenants, including a leverage ratio and
interest coverage ratio and dividend payment restrictions and is collateralized
by all the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 1999, the Company has
approximately $23.0 million available under the line of credit,

which matures in October 2002, and has no scheduled amortization requirements.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Company has implemented a three phase program to identify and resolve Year
2000 ("Y2K") issues related to the integrity and reliability of its computerized
information systems, computer systems embedded in the machinery and equipment
used in its operations, as well as third party or in-house developed software.
Phase one of the Company's program involved an assessment of Y2K compliance and
has been completed. In phase two of the program, the Company is modifying, or
replacing, and testing all non-Y2K compliant hardware systems. Completion of
Phase two is expected by August 1999. Phase three of the program involves
upgrades, or replacement, and testing all non-Y2K compliant software and is also
expected to be completed by August 1999.

      As of March 31, 1999 the Company has spent approximately $300,000 in
addition to its normal internal information technology costs in connection with
its Y2K program. The Company expects to incur additional costs of $350,000 to
complete phases two and three of the program.

      The Company requested documentation regarding Y2K compliance from all of
its suppliers and service providers. As of March 31, 1999, the Company received
confirmations from approximately 75% indicating that they are or will be Y2K
compliant. The Company expects to have further communications with those who
have not responded or have indicated further work was required to achieve Y2K
compliance.

      Among other things, the Company's operations depend on the availability of
utility services, principally electricity and reliable performance by
telecommunication services. A substantial disruption in any of these services
due to providers of these services failing to achieve Y2K compliance could have
a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial results depending on the
length and severity of the disruption.

      The Company will complete a contingency plan for each of its principal
operations by June 1999. The purpose of the contingency plan is to identify
possible alternatives which could be used in the event of a disruption in the
delivery of essential goods or services and to minimize the effect of such a
disruption.

      The estimates and conclusions herein contain forward-looking statements
and are based on management's best estimates of future events. Risks to
completing the plan include the availability of resources, our ability to
discover and correct the potential Y2K sensitive problems which could have a
serious impact on specific facilities, and the ability of suppliers to bring
their systems into Y2K compliance.
