Town Sports International Announces Discounted Teacher Appreciation Memberships
NEW YORK, May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- All teachers are granted special tenure this National Teacher Appreciation Day. Town Sports International (TSI), operators of New York, Boston, Washington and Philadelphia Sports Clubs, today announced a special lifetime discounted membership rate for teachers of $20/month in appreciation for all they do for their students.
"Teachers are among the most powerful role models on our children's life. We want to do all we can to help our teachers set an example to maintain a healthy lifestyle and pass it on to students," said Robert Giardina, President and CEO of TSI. "Equally important, we want to say thank you to all teachers for dedicating their lives to such a noble profession, particularly at a time when teacher benefits are being diminished."
To announce the membership and celebrate the day, New York Sports Clubs (NYSC) released a special Simon Says Workout that students and teachers can enjoy together. New York teachers and students will be led by a NYSC trainer as they play the classic game alongside one another while getting a full body workout at the same time.
