WICHITA, KS<\/strong> – Genesis Health Clubs has announced the purchase of both Wichita-area VASA Fitness locations, located on North Woodlawn and East Harry, respectively. The move is the latest in a dramatic strengthening of the company\u2019s footprint in and around its home base and corporate headquarters in Wichita after years of expansion in the surrounding cities and states.<\/p>\n Genesis Health Clubs Owner and President Rodney Steven II explained the significance. \u201cGenesis is a family-owned business that has operated in Wichita for over 30 years. We started with one location and grew gradually. Then, around six years ago, our company doubled in size overnight. That day, we went from being a local company to a regional one, and put tremendous focus on new markets like Kansas City, Omaha, and Tulsa.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOne by one, we purchased buildings, found strategic acquisitions, and remodeled aging clubs into beautiful new facilities. Now we have 57 clubs in 6 states with nearly 5,000 employees, but we never forgot about where we came from.\u201d<\/p>\n Steven continued, \u201cThis is home to us all. It\u2019s where we started, and it\u2019s where we still keep our company headquarters, and now we\u2019re doubling down in Wichita. This was a great opportunity for us; we\u2019re able to move into south Wichita for the first time and have even more fitness options on the east side, right before we move to the far west with our Goddard location. We\u2019re honored and proud to be able to give back to our Wichita members after so long. \u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll have options for VASA members to use the other Genesis clubs and Genesis members just gained two new places to work out. Everyone gets a lot of win-win choices. Fitness in Wichita keeps getting stronger!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WICHITA, KS<\/strong> – Genesis Health Clubs has announced the purchase of both Wichita-area VASA Fitness locations.
