Built in 1998, the Orlando Sportsplex (formerly the RDV Sportsplex) is a multi-purpose sports and recreation facility that includes the Genesis Health Club, Genesis Ice Den, and nearly 100,000 square feet of Class A office/medical-use space occupied by tenants located in Orlando, Florida. The 365,000 square foot facility served as one of the most unique and comprehensive multi-purpose health and athletic facilities in the country and was home to the NBA's Orlando Magic practice facility and corporate offices until 2010.
RDV Sportsplex was sold on December 13, 2022 to Genesis Health Clubs. [1] Based in Wichita, Genesis Health Clubs came to the Central Florida market in June 2022 with the purchase of RDV sister facilities MVP Athletic Club-Brownwood and MVP Athletic Club-Spanish Springs in The Villages. RDV Sportsplex is now known as Genesis Health Clubs - Orlando Sportsplex and Genesis Ice Den respectively. [2]
