Exhibit 10.1

THIRD AMENDMENT

     THIRD AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of July 7, 2006, among TOWN SPORTS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. (“Holdco”), TOWN SPORTS INTERNATIONAL, LLC (f/k/a TOWN SPORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC.) (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party to the Credit Agreement referred to below (the “Lenders”), and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and acknowledged and agreed to by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 16, 2003 (as amended, modified and/or supplemented to, but not including, the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed, that the Total Revolving Loan Commitment be increased as provided herein; and

     WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree as follows;

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:

     1. As of the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the Total Revolving Loan Commitment will be increased from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time after the Third Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

     2. To the extent that any Revolving Loans are outstanding on the Third Amendment Effective Date (and after such effect thereto), the Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including the New Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Amendment) and with the Borrower being obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 1.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or incurrence. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding on the Third Amendment Effective Date and any Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement to reflect the new Percentages of the Lenders after giving effect to the Third Amendment Effective Date.

     3. Schedule I to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing such Schedule in its entirety with the Schedule I attached hereto.

     4. This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”) when:

          (A) Holdco, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Required Lenders, each Lender whose Revolving Loan Commitment is being increased hereby (each an “Increased Lender”) and each Lender who has signed a counterpart of this Amendment and is not a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to the Third Amendment Effective Date (each a “New Lender’) shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile transmission) the same to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office; and

          (B) the Borrower shall have paid to (x) each Increased Lender, a non-refundable cash fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the amount by which such Increased Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment is increased on the Third Amendment Effective Date and (y) each New Lender, a non-refundable cash fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of such New Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment on the Third Amendment Effective Date, all of which fees shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders entitled thereto.

     5. Each New Lender (a) agrees that from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and, to the extent of its Revolving Loan Commitment, shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder, (b) if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, represents and warrants that it has delivered any tax documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, duly completed and executed by it, (c) appoints and authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to or otherwise conferred upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (d) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

     6. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists on the Third Amendment Effective Date, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, and (ii) on the Third Amendment Effective Date, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).

     7. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same

instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     8. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     9. From and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.

     10. This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

* * *

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused a counterpart of this Amendment to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
