The Sports Facilities Companies Acquires Power Wellness

In an exciting development aimed at enhancing community health and wellness, The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC) has announced its acquisition of Power Wellness, a renowned leader in fitness center management. This strategic move is set to bolster SFC's services in managing sports, recreation, and wellness facilities across the nation.

Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Lombard, Illinois, Power Wellness has built a formidable reputation over the past three decades as the largest fitness center management company in the U.S. The company boasts more than 2,000 professionals dedicated to connecting clinical care with community fitness. They specialize in evidence-based, medically integrated wellness programs that serve over 90,000 individuals across 26 facilities in 13 states.

The acquisition is poised to elevate SFC's mission of improving quality of life through recreational and wellness initiatives. Jason Clement, Founder and CEO of SFC, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "Power Wellness has earned its reputation as the nation's premier institutional fitness center consulting and management company by helping its partners improve lives through fitness and wellness. Our values are fully aligned as their team has produced extraordinary results for thirty years on the foundation of service and humility."

Power Wellness will retain its brand identity following the acquisition, operating as Power Wellness by The Sports Facilities Companies. Ken Gorman will maintain his role as president and CEO, ensuring continuity in leadership, team structure, and operational strategies.

Gorman highlighted the benefits of the acquisition for both organizations, saying, "Our mission has always been to improve lives through fitness, wellness, and meaningful community connection. Joining SFC gives Power Wellness additional support and infrastructure while allowing us to continue delivering the personalized service, operational excellence, and unique programming our partners expect. This is an opportunity to strengthen what we do best for our clients and bring it to more communities."

The strategic integration of Power Wellness into SFC's operations will unfold thoughtfully over the coming months. This approach aims to maintain the quality service clients expect while simultaneously expanding available resources and capabilities.

The merger also complements SFC's recent expansions into other areas of facility management, including ice rinks and golf courses through RCI and Spirit Golf Management, respectively. These additions underscore SFC's commitment to providing integrated destination management solutions across sports, recreation, and wellness sectors to municipalities and healthcare systems.

The Sports Facilities Companies prides itself on its ability to improve community quality of life through strategic management and development of diverse facility types. With more than 140 venues across the nation and a workforce approaching 7,000, SFC welcomes nearly 30 million guests annually, contributing over $1 billion to the economy.
