Lucille Roberts health clubs began 35 years ago in New York City, with the creation of a single club dedicated to helping women look and feel better—both physically and emotionally. Being a woman, Lucille knew that losing weight was the real reason woman put on their leotards or sweats and came in to work out. With that in mind, she single-handedly pioneered the concept of women’s-only fitness centers.
