Genesis Health Clubs has acquired Clayview Country Club in Liberty, Missouri. This will be the 60th location for the brand, which spans seven states including Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa and Florida.
The Clayview Country Club boasts a wide breadth of amenities including an 8-lane, 25-meter outdoor swimming pool and seasonal, climate-controlled structure; two indoor pickleball courts; eight indoor tennis courts; and four outdoor tennis courts.
“Tennis is so core to what we do,” said Rodney Steven II, the owner and president of Genesis Health Clubs, in a statement. “In nearly all of our cities, we operate tennis facilities that act as a hub, spreading health and fitness through the community. We’ve invested heavily in that with our recently remodeled Overland Park and Kansas City Racquet Club locations, but we’ve been looking for a way to bring tennis to North Kansas City, and we’ve found that with Clayview.”
According to Steven, tennis has been growing in popularity in the Kansas City area, making the investment that more exciting.
“Finally, we’re able to have a world-class tennis program close enough for anyone in Kansas City to enjoy,” said Steven. “It’s a game for life, and Kansas City now has more options than ever. This is our 60th club, and what better way to celebrate a milestone than with one that give us full tennis coverage in Kansas City? We’re proud to wave the flag for a sport that will help people.”
Earlier this year in May 2022, Genesis Health Clubs acquired the Spanish Springs and Brownwood locations from MVP Sports Clubs in The Villages, Florida.
Genesis Health Clubs is the largest privately-owned health club organization in the U.S.
