Genesis Health Clubs is expanding again adding nine premier fitness clubs, including Colorado Athletic Clubs and New Mexico Sports & Wellness — formerly known as Wellbridge — strengthening its presence in Colorado and entering New Mexico for the first time.
With this acquisition, Genesis now operates 86 clubs across 14 states.
These are established, high-quality clubs with strong memberships, experienced teams and deep roots in their communities. That foundation isn’t changing. What will change is the level of investment, consistency and long-term focus that Genesis brings to every club it operates.
“This is a big step forward for us,” said Rodney Steven II, the owner and president of Genesis Health Clubs. “These are great clubs with great teams. We’ll build on what’s working and keep raising the standard.”
The acquisition strengthens Genesis’ footprint across Colorado, including the Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins markets, while establishing an immediate presence in Albuquerque with five locations. Building density in strong markets and expanding into new ones where Genesis can support clubs from day one is a natural step in the company’s acquisition strategy.
“Colorado has been a strong market for us, and New Mexico is a natural extension with great clubs, great teams, and strong regional support,” added Steven.
Members will continue to have access to the same clubs, teams, and amenities they know today, including group fitness, aquatics, racquet sports and premium fitness spaces. In addition, they can enjoy expanded access to Genesis clubs across the country. Over time, they can expect continued investment in facilities, programming, and overall experience.
The nine locations are:
Colorado (Colorado Athletic Club)
- Denver Tech Center –Greenwood Village
- Monaco –Denver
- Tabor –Denver
- Flatirons – Boulder
New Mexico
- Del Norte –Albuquerque
- Riverpoint –Albuquerque
- Highpoint – Albuquerque
- Midtown – Albuquerque
- Downtown –Albuquerque
Genesis plans to integrate operations thoughtfully, with a focus on continuity for members and staff while aligning each club to its “Member-First Experience” standard.
This acquisition reflects Genesis Health Clubs’ continued approach to growth, which is acquiring strong clubs, investing in them and delivering a consistent experience across every market. From the Midwest to the Southeast and now further into the Mountain West, the company continues to expand with a clear focus: deliver a better experience, every day, in every club.
