Esporta PLC
 PROFILE
Esporta is helping England flex a little muscle. Formerly First Leisure, the company operates 38 health and fitness clubs across the UK under the brands Espree, Riverside, and Racquets and Health, as well as its own Esporta brand. Its clubs generally feature gymnasiums, swimming pools, saunas, food and beverage services, and beauty salons, while some of its locations also sport tennis courts and golf courses. Esporta has more than 160,000 members. To focus on expanding its fitness operations, the company sold its nightclub businesses to a management group (which adopted the First Leisure name) in 2000 and later changed its name. It is expanding into continental Europe.
