50 Years of Success at Midtown Athletic Club
November 2020 - The year is 1970. A new decade arrives, the space race has been won and Tennis Corporation of America, TCA (now Midtown Athletic Club) opens its doors. A gallon of gas is 36 cents, and the cost of a new home is just over $25,000. It was a different time. Fast forward to today, and Midtown Athletic Club is now celebrating 50 years of success. Founded by Alan Schwartz and his father, Kevie Schwartz, the family business is now four generations deep, with Alan's son, Steven Schwartz, as the company's CEO, and Steven's son, Alex Schwartz, as the company's Director of Marketing.
