Kids Club

One of the most important things in choosing a fitness center is finding a facility that suits everyone — including your kids. At Genesis Health Clubs—we’re a fitness center with the ultimate Kid's Club! You can rest assured, knowing all activities are supervised by professional Kids Club specialists.

For added convenience, Genesis now offers a Kids Club Membership; you can add your child onto your membership for unlimited Kids Club visits each month. There is also a $5 drop-in rate for those who want another option. Children must be between the ages of 6 weeks to 12 years. Kids Club is only available for children or families of our members during the posted hours of operation.

We have a variety of activities including games, crafts, movies, books, infant activities, parties, and much more.

A responsible adult must remain on club premises while the child is in Kids Club. If someone other than a parent is picking up a child, then the Kids Club staff must be notified and proper identification shown.

All Kids Club staff is CPR certified. Enjoy your workout while we take care of your child.

We don’t stop at just childcare, CAMPS, Parent’s Night Out, & MORE are offered at our club!
