LOS ANGELES, CA (November 15, 2004) - The Sports Club Company, Inc. (AMEX:SCY)
today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2004.

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were $36,389,000 compared to
$32,055,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $4,334,000
or 13.5%. EBITDA(1) for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increased to
$1,755,000, compared to $1,283,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an
increase of $472,000 or 36.8%. The net loss attributable to common shareholders
for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $5,657,000 or $0.30 per basic and
diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders for
the quarter ended September 30, 2003 of $5,618,000 or $0.31 per basic and
diluted share. The weighted average number of basic and diluted shares
outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was 18,784,000 shares
compared to 18,370,000 shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased 14.3% to

2003, an increase of $13,956,000. EBITDA(1) for the first nine months of 2004
decreased 2.9% to $5,573,000, compared to $5,738,000 for the first nine months
of 2003, a decrease of $165,000. The decrease in EBITDA was the result of $1.5
million of costs related to various capital raising transactions, recording of a
$604,000 minority interest in the profits of Reebok Sports Club/NY and the
recording of a $527,000 loss on the sale of three SportsMed physical therapy
facilities. The net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 was $16,754,000 or $0.90 per basic and diluted share,
compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 of $14,683,000 or $0.80 per basic and diluted share.
The weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 was 18,682,000 shares compared to 18,286,000

-----------------

(1) EBITDA is calculated by adding the income tax provision, net interest
    expense and depreciation/amortization to net loss. We have included EBITDA
    data because management believes that this measure is useful to an investor
    in evaluating our ability to service debt and to assess our earnings
    ability. However, these items should not be considered in isolation or as
    substitutes for net income, cash flows from (used in) operating activities
    or other statement of operations or cash flows data prepared in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of cash
    flows from (used in) operating activities to net loss and EBITDA is provided
    in the tables accompanying this press release.
