Bob Roberts, co-founder of the Lucille Roberts gym chain, is selling his nine-bedroom townhouse at 4 E. 80th St. for $59 million. The property, previously listed for $90 million, features opulent decor, multiple kitchens, and a gym on the sixth floor. Roberts and his late wife purchased the 20,000-square-foot mansion in 1995 for $6 million and extensively renovated it. The Lucille Roberts gym chain, which was acquired by Town Sports International Holding in 2017, faced controversy during the pandemic for charging dues while gyms were closed. Town Sports filed for bankruptcy and settled a lawsuit for $110 million. The townhouse was originally built in 1915 for Frank Woolworth's daughter and has a rich history of ownership.
