                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.1


                          THE SPORTS CLUB COMPANY, INC.
                     NOTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE



LOS ANGELES,  CA (April 26, 2005) - The Sports Club Company,  Inc.  (AMEX:  SCY)
today  announced  that on April 20,  2005,  the  American  Stock  Exchange  (the
"Exchange")  had  notified  the  Company  that  it had not  met  certain  of the
Exchange's  continued listing  standards as set forth in the Exchange's  Company
Guide.  Specifically,  the Exchange  noted that the Company's  failure to timely
file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December  31, 2004 was a violation
of Sections 134, 1101 and 1003(d). In order to maintain listing of the Company's
Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), on the Exchange, the Company
must  submit a plan by May 4,  2005,  advising  the  Exchange  of the action the
Company has taken,  or will take,  that would bring it into  compliance with the
applicable listing standards on or before June 15, 2005. If the Exchange accepts
the plan,  the  Company  will remain  listed  during the plan period but will be
subject to review by the  Exchange  to  determine  whether the Company is making
progress consistent with the plan. If the Exchange does not accept the Company's
plan, or if the plan is accepted but the Company is not in  compliance  with the
continued  listing  standards as set forth in Sections  134, 1101 and 1003(d) by
June 15,  2005 or does not make  progress  consistent  with the plan during such
period,  the  Exchange may initiate  delisting  proceedings  with respect to the
Common Stock.

Further,  as  previously  reported,  the  Exchange  had  notified the Company on
September  13,  2004,  that it did not  meet  certain  other  of the  Exchange's
continued listing standards. Specifically, the Exchange noted that the Company's
stockholders'  equity is less than $2 million,  and the Company has reported net
losses in two of the its most  recent  fiscal  years,  in  violation  of Section
1003(a)(i);  the Company's stockholders' equity is less than $4 million, and the
Company has sustained  losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years,  in
violation of Section 1003(a)(ii); and the Company has sustained losses which are
so substantial in relation to the Company's  overall  operations or its existing
financial  resources,  or  the  Company's  financial  condition  has  become  so
impaired, that it appears questionable,  in the opinion of the Exchange, whether
the Company will be able to continue  operations or meet its obligations as they
mature,  in  violation  of Section  1003(a)(iv).  The  Exchange has afforded the
Company an 18-month period (ending March 13, 2006) in which to regain compliance
with these specific listing requirements.

Therefore,  even if the Company  satisfies the plan and regains  compliance with
Sections  134, 1101 and 1003(d) by June 15, 2005, it will not be relieved of its
obligations  to regain  compliance  with Sections  1003(a)(i),  1003(a)(ii)  and
1003(a)(iv)  by March 13,  2006.  Failure to gain  compliance  may  subject  the
Company to delisting procedures.
