New York Sports Clubs is currently offering a special A Chorus Line workout.

Presented by "the largest network of health and fitness clubs in the northeastern United States," the new class' launch coincides with the revival of A Chorus Line to Broadway, which opened on October 5 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

"One of the most critically acclaimed, award-winning Broadway musicals of all  time, A Chorus Line has defined the art of the high kick by use of some powerful legs.  Now, health club members have a chance to take part in this exhilarating, sweat-inducing dance class inspired by this box-office  success.  This fun, fat-burning cardiovascular workout is set to the music of the show and includes memorable hits like 'One' and 'The Music and the Mirror," according to NY Sports Club notes.

"Everyone dreams of being on the Broadway stage", says Allyson Donnelly,  director of group exercise for New York Sports Clubs. "This class gives our members a chance to feel like they're on Broadway while getting a great workout at the same time."

Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. is a leading owner and operator of health clubs in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions of  the United States. In addition to New York Sports Clubs, TSI operates under the brand names of Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs, with 141 clubs and more than 430,000 members as  of August 1, 2006.
