Genesis Health Clubs acquires ‘massive tennis facility’
Genesis Health Clubs continues to grow with the acquisition of its 66th club.
It purchased the Lexington Tennis Club in Lexington, Ky.
This will make the third Genesis in Kentucky. Earlier this year, the Wichita-based Genesis bought two Louisville clubs.
“Genesis typically owns its facilities, and that’s the case with this club,” Genesis owner and president Rodney Steven II said in a release.
“This is a massive tennis facility, with 15 indoor courts. We plan to revitalize and refresh that, as well as really investing in the fitness component, to make this a health club that will serve fitness for the entire Lexington community.”
Genesis bills itself as “the largest and fastest-growing privately owned fitness provider in the country” with clubs in Kansas, Kentucky, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa and Florida.
“This company grew to where it is today by acquiring iconic tennis facilities, and updating them for the years and decades to come,” Steven said in his e-mail statement. “With one of the best tennis communities in the entire region, the Lexington Tennis Club is a perfect fit for us, and we can’t wait to welcome members and staff to the Genesis family.”
