For financial reporting purposes, these acquisitions have been accounted for
under the purchase method and, accordingly, the purchase prices have been
assigned to the assets acquired on the basis of their respective fair values on
the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase prices over the net tangible
assets acquired has been allocated to membership lists acquired,
covenant-not-to-compete and goodwill.

On August 6, 1998 the Company acquired Lifestyle Fitness of Springfield, Inc.
and its Affiliates (collectively referred to herein as "Lifestyle"). Lifestyle's
operations consisted of six fitness clubs in New Jersey, which were owned and
operated by a common group of investors. The purchase price totaled $10.6
million, which included $10.0 million of cash and notes payable of $300,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $300,000. The following unaudited pro forma
information has been prepared assuming the Lifestyle Acquisition had taken place
at the beginning of the respective periods reported herein. The pro forma
adjustments give effect to amortization of goodwill, interest expense on
acquisition debt, and the related income tax effects:

4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 1998, the Company acquired the assets of a fitness club.  The
purchase price totaled $1.6 million which included $1.5 million payable at
closing and issuance of a note of $100,000. In connection with this club and
future club facilities, the Company entered into noncancelable operating leases
expiring on or before May 31, 2014.  Future minimum rental payments required
under these leases total approximately $14.2 million.

5.  CONTINGENCIES

A claim has been filed against the Company related to alleged copyright
infringement from the unauthorized use of photographs in advertisements. The
case was brought originally in federal court in June 1996 and was dismissed in
February 1998 because the plaintiffs had not registered copyrights to the
photographs. A further claim was filed in New York State Supreme Court in April
1998. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the state lawsuit, which is
presently pending. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages,
including the Company's profits attributable to the use of the photographs.
Based on the advice of outside counsel, management believes that it is unlikely
that the outcome of this matter will have a materially adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company. Management is vigorously contesting this claim.



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 August 31,
1998, the Company operated 65 clubs that collectively served over 175,000
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 in excess of $50,000.

     The Company's goal is to develop the premier health club network in each of
the major metropolitan regions it serves.  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, in fiscal 1998, 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 New York Sports Club ("NYSC")
brand name.  The Company is the largest fitness club operator in Manhattan with
23 locations and operates a total of 52 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
Washington Sports Club ("WSC") brand name and has begun establishing similar
clusters surrounding Boston and Philadelphia under its Boston Sports Club
("BSC") and Philadelphia Sports Club ("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 August 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended August 31,
1997

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased approximately $11.5 million, or 67.1%, to
$28.7 million during the quarter ended August 31, 1998 from $17.2 million in the
quarter ended August 31, 1997.  This increase resulted primarily from maturation
of the 14 clubs opened or acquired during fiscal 1998 (approximately $6.0
million) and the 16 clubs opened or acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
(approximately $3.2 million).  In addition, revenues increased during the
quarter by $2.3 million at the Company's mature clubs resulting from 
increased membership.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses increased $11.6 million, or 77.1%,
to $26.7 million in the quarter ended August 31, 1998, from $15.1 million in the
quarter ended August 31, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to an 80.2%
increase in total club months operated to 164 in the quarter ended August 31,
1998 from 91 in the quarter ended August 31, 1997, in addition to the following
factors:

     Payroll and related increased by $4.5 million, or 64.6% to $11.6 million in
the quarter ended August 31, 1998, from $7.0 million in the quarter ended August
31, 1997.  This increase was attributable to the acquisition or opening of 14
clubs in fiscal 1998 and 16 clubs in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Club operating increased by $4.3 million or 81.8% to $9.5 million in the 
quarter ended August 31, 1998, from $5.2 million in the quarter ended August 31,
1997. This increase is attributable to the acquisition or opening of 14 clubs in
fiscal 1998 and 16 clubs in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     General and administrative increased by $772,000, or 72.6% to $1.8 million
in the quarter ended August 31, 1998, from $1.1 million, in the quarter ended
August 31, 1997.  This increase is attributable to associated expenses as a
result of the Company's expansion, including the expansion of the Company's
corporate office and upgrade of the Company's management information systems.


                                          7

     Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.0 million, or 127.2% to $3.6
million in the quarter ended August 31, 1998, from $1.6 million in the quarter
ended August 31, 1997. This increase is attributable primarily to the increased
fixed assets and intangible assets arising out of new club acquisitions and
openings during the quarter ended August 31, 1998, and a full period of
depreciation and amortization for fixed asset additions, acquisitions or
openings since the quarter ended August 31, 1997.  Intangible assets acquired in
the last three quarters of fiscal 1998 and the quarter ended August 31, 1998
totaled $14.0 million and $18.5 million respectively.
     
     Compensation expense in connection with stock options increased $14,000, or
8.8% to $174,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 1998, from $160,000 in the
quarter ended August 31, 1997.
     
     INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  Interest expense increased $1.2 million to $2.3
million during quarter ended August 31, 1998, from $1.1 million in the quarter
ended August 31, 1997.  The increased level of interest expense was primarily
due to the issuance of Senior Notes. (See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.)

     PROVISION (BENEFIT)FOR INCOME TAX. The income tax benefit for the quarter
ended August 31, 1998 was $102,000 compared to a tax expense of $450,000 for the
quarter ended August 31, 1997.

     ACCRETED DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK.  Accreted dividends on the Preferred
Stock increased $92,000 to $630,000 during the quarter ended August 31, 1998,
from $538,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 1997. This increase is the result
of a compounding feature in the calculation of the accretion of dividends on the
Preferred Stock.

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 August 31, 1998 was $3.2 million compared to $819,000 during the
quarter ended August 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to the maturation
of recently opened or acquired clubs, as well as improved performance in the
Company's mature clubs. Excluding cash and cash equivalents, the Company
normally operates with a working capital deficit because it receives 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 $30.6 million and $3.5 million
in capital expenditures and asset acquisitions during the quarters ended August
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, primarily as a result of the Company's
expansion efforts.  The Company estimates that, through May 31, 1999, it will
invest a total of approximately $30.0 million in capital expenditures and asset
acquisitions, which includes $5.0 million that management intends to invest to
maintain and expand certain existing clubs and $1.5 million to further upgrade
its management information systems. This expenditure will be funded by cash flow
generated from operations, available cash and credit facilities. 

     FINANCING ACTIVITIES.  In October 1997, the Company issued the Senior Notes
and entered into the Credit Facility.  After payment of fees and expenses of
$3.3 million, the Company received net proceeds of $81.7 million, of which $41.5
million was used for the repayment of certain indebtedness.  The Senior Notes
contain certain restrictive covenants and restrict the payment of 


                                          8

<PAGE>

dividends.  The Credit Facility notes contain 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 August 31, 1998,the
Company has approximately $12.0 million available under the current Credit
Facility, which matures in October 2002, and has no scheduled amortization
requirements.  The Credit Facility was recently amended to allow for maximum
borrowings of $25.0 million.


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 has been completed.  In phase two of the program, the 
Company is modifying or replacing all non-compliant hardware systems.  
Completion of Phase two is expected by June 1999.  Phase three of the program 
involves upgrades or replacement of all non-Y2K compliant software and is 
also expected to be completed by June 1999.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company has spent approximately $100,000 in addition to
its normal internal information technology costs in connection with its Y2K
program.  The Company expects to incur additional costs of $500,000 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 August 31, 1998, the Company received
confirmations from approximately 70% 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 impact on the Company's financial results depending on the length
and severity of the disruption.

The Company is currently identifying alternatives and 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.
