Genesis Health Clubs announced the acquisition of Tri-State Athletic Club, effective immediately. The club, now known as Genesis Health Clubs – Tri-State Athletic Club, represents the 66th in the ever-growing Genesis portfolio and the first in Indiana.
“We’re so excited and proud of great tradition of Tri-State and this fits our love for fitness and tennis — this facility is the centerpieces of their community,” said Rodney Steven II, the owner and president of Genesis Health Clubs. “We’re looking forward to reinvesting in the facility to make sure they remain local destinations for decades to come. There’s no better example than the Tri-State Athletic Club when it comes to serving its members. With a 50-plus year history of tennis, group fitness, and a solid base of all sorts of classes, programming, and upscale amenities, it’s a perfect union.”
Thomas Myers, the owner of Tri-State Athletic Club, expressed excitement about the new ownership.
“We knew we couldn’t just sell to anyone,” said Myers. “There’s over 50 years of history here, and it’s important to us that our members and staff can count on the club being owned by someone passionate about tennis and fitness who is here to stay. We know the club is in good hands with Genesis.”
Steven continued, expanding on Martin’s sentiments, “We plan to welcome the staff into the Genesis family and bring them 401k plans, health insurance, and a lot of the benefits that can be hard to come by in the industry sometimes. Staff is family at Genesis and they’re about to join a great one. As for the members, this is such an exciting time for them. They’ll continue with the same great programming they’ve got right now, but we’ll also be reinvesting in the facility, and they will gain access to our clubs in the region, plus more than 65 others across nine states. We’ve got big plans for Evansville now and in the future, and we can’t wait to share more soon.”
