The four-alarm fire broke out while contractors were working on the roof of the large structure.

Philadelphia firefighters worked for two hours to contain a fire that spread through a health club Monday morning.

The fire was reported around 11 a.m. at the Aquatic Fitness Center and Aquahab Physical Therapy in the Torresdale neighborhood.

The fire forced swimmers in bathing suits out into the cold weather weather, NBCPhiladelphia.com reported. 

The blaze reached four alarms and left two people with minor injuries.

Contractors were working on the roof of the barn-like structure when the fire broke out, according to Philly.com.

A blaze at a sprawling health club in Haverhill, MA, caused over $2 million in damage last week.
