Came in town to visit my cousin and brother. Wanted to lift at a gym similar to Destination Dallas for a quality workout. Highly recommend getting a membership, very friendly staff and trainer. Great equipment and not packed full of people.

I have been around the USA and parts of the world at different gyms and I was absolutely shocked that a gym of this caliber would be in Manhattan Kansas.The setup is fantastic, equipment is top notch, and the workout environment is great.I would recommend this gym to anyone.Top 3 gyms I’ve visited, in not particular order.Muscle Works Gym (London)The Foundation Sport Training Facility (Manhattan, Kansas)House of Gainz (Austin, Texas)

Best gym in MHK! Great staff. Wide variety of equipment. Very positive atmosphere.

I had such a great time at this gym, the staff was so helpful, encouraging and knowledgeable. So glad to of had a membership here while I lived in Manhattan.

No matter your fitness goal, they have the equipment to get you there. Early morning hours have a smaller amount of patrons, so the gym is much more private with no wait times on anything. Lifting seems to be the biggest focus, but the cardio equipment is great too. There is a private studio upstairs as well as mats and battle ropes and a HUGE room for standard sports fitness. The people walking around often offer tips and encouragement. However, coronavirus does mean that you wear a mask the entire time you workout and everyone wipes down their equipment. People lookout for one another there.

The BEST facility!! Clean, super supportive/friendly staff, PlLUS its so much more than just a gym. It’s family and constant motivation, all wrapped up into one amazing experience.I look forward to coming everyday!I highly recommend this gym to everyone looking to push themselves and others to be so much better than they could have imagined!

I was originally a member here when I was stationed at Ft. Riley... Amazing facility and atmosphere!! The 24hr access of course is amazing. Awesome facility and community! So much so, I joined the Westport location when they opened here in KCMO.

While they pretend to support the military, they will try to nickel and dime you at every opportunity and hope you dont notice. Cancelling is a nightmare, even with supporting documentation.

Hell of a place to workout. Ive been to a few nice gyms and the atmosphere here is the BEST. Highly recommend!

Best gym in Manhattan by far! You HAVE to check it out.

For the price, you cant beat this place. Everyone is friendly. The staff greet you when you walk in and treat you like family. Everyone is a familiar face. Everyone is there to get better.The facility is fantastic for training of all kinds. It is kept very clean and has every piece of equipment imaginable.

An AMAZING facility! Top-notch equipment, always clean, extremely friendly staff (who will soon become your best friends) and crazy motivational environment! They have the cutest bulldog for a mascot too!

This place is the real deal. I was sold the second I walked in. If you like keeping to yourself you can with no problems. If you like being social the members here all treat you like family. Everyone is here to help each other and push you to your best. Its your own personal workout community. You can workout to simply stay fit and healthy here or if you want an entire body transformation you can do that too. A friend introduced me to this place and Im glad he did. You wont regret checking it out.

This is easily the best gym in Manhattan. Great atmosphere, excellent selection of equipment, 24-hour access for members, not overcrowded, very clean, supportive staff, and good music to keep you going. Skip the big corporate gyms and go here if youre serious about fitness!

I like that they have lots of weightlifting equipment and some good cardio equipment. Sometimes, the temperature is rather hot inside, but they will sometimes open the doors which helps a lot. Actually, as Ive gotten to know the owners and personnel, they all seem to be quite nice. The co-owners seem to be really great and they always bring their cute little bulldogs with them. I probably wish the lockerrooms were a little bigger, but there is really a lot to like about the gym. They have airbikes which a lot of gyms dont have and a very wide assortment of various weightlifting/fitness equipment like blocking sleds, boxes to jump on, squat racks to do farmers walks with, etc. They really have a lot of diverse equipment that most gyms like Genesis wouldnt have.

The Foundation is the best gym in Manhattan KS. If you are looking for a gym that supports strength (powerlifting, strongman, and weightlifting) and physique (bodybuilding, bikini, etc.) sports, this place is for you. The equipment, patrons, and staff reflect the purpose of the gym. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Great facility with a great staff. Regardless of your level they welcome you and provide an awesome environment to work out. One of the best around!

Best gym in town. If you want to make serious gains this is the gym to go to. This is not for the people that want to ride the elliptical. Body building gym. All are focused and have one goal in mind. Great community and there arent jerks that workout here.

No doubt the best gym in Manhattan for anyone interested in bodybuilding, powerlifting, etc. This is a serious gym, and doesnt have the wellness center feel of typical corporate gyms. The staff and owner are extremely friendly and excited to see you succeed. There werent many people lifting when I went in, but I could tell there was a strong family atmosphere.Tons of unique equipment to train with. Definitely recommend checking it out if youre serious about your gains!

Had an issue with my cancelation. After dealing with the owner Matt he took care of everything. Very professionally

The best place to workout in Manhattan is here. If you want to achieve your goals you can and WILL do it here. Probably the first gym ever to have meals that you can buy here at a price that is cheaper than a restaurant. Great environment and you never have to wait around to use equipment like K-state rec. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, great staff, and even better access plan (24 hr). One suggestion I would appreciate and recommend is placing 1 or 2 more bikes on the gym side. I have knee and back medical conditions that restrict me from running. If this is possible, thanks. If not, Im still not going anywhere!!;

The Foundation is more than just a gym. It’s family, constant motivation, a sanctuary all wrapped up into one amazing experience. I look forward to coming everyday. I highly recommend this gym to everyone looking to push themselves and others into greatness.

I went here when I was taking a 1 credit yoga/pilates class as a student. Their facilities look like they are taken good care of and the staff was always very friendly. I never used their main weights area but it looked like it had anything someone would need to get into shape. Exciting atmosphere with music playing all the time

If youre looking for a driven place to workout, professional setting, and friendly people, I 100% recommend The Foundation. It is highly motivating to walk in and find that everyone there is serious for a fitness goal. I got a trainer here and she has been a huge help in teaching and not just working on muscle but also working on making sure I do not injure myself going too fast (a tendency of mine)If youre wanting to take your physical health seriously, join The Foundation.

I come to work in Manhattan about every 2-3 months. While working is a drag, this place makes me excited. I have been to plenty of local chains, big box gyms but this place has a lot of traditional and newer equipment. I keep trying different routines and I can never try it all. It has workout equipment for whatever your goal. I have considered moving to Manhattan just so I could go to the foundation more often. Can’t wait till next time!

Well maintained and up to date machines but the atmosphere is what makes it. Music, driven atmosphere. Its not your run of the mill gym where everyone is there for just themselves. Everyone seems to work off eachother! Would highly recommend.

Unquestionably the best place in Manhattan and the surrounding area to train. No matter what your goals are, the staff and members of The Foundation will support you. Regardless of what I write here, it will not do justice to the quality of the facility or the staff. Amazing gym. Amazing people. Go check it out.

Super recommend, Ive worked out in 2 different gym here in Manhattan Ks, and none compares to The Foundation. besides the perfect job Im having with David Clukey. Who is looking for a personal trainer or just a good gym, should stop by to check it out.

Looking at this place from the outside definitely caught my eye. Once coming in, the way the faculty utilized both its crossfit and gym sides was awesome. The staff welcomed questions and was extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this gym from beginners all the way up to advanced lifters.

Awesome place thats focused on getting you were you want to be. An actual gym instead of health club, you are pretty much left alone unless you need help. The trainers are helpful and outgoing

Best gym around! Walk in and you’re surrounded by positivity and hard work. Clean, spacious and a motivating environment. Love this place!

Definitely my favorite gym to workout at! Great staff and members that act like family. Truly a great place to workout for all fitness levels. If you need a gym, you gotta make the Foundation Sports Facility your new home!!

LOVE THIS GYM! Ive been going to The Foundation for almost 2 years now and Ive grown to love it even more over time!

AMAZING GYM!!! Everyone is super friendly and there to accomplish a goal they have set. It’s a judgment free zone! Could never go to a different gym!!

5/5 This is by far the best gym I’ve ever been to, love the atmosphere it’s just my type of people. Hardcore and down to earth people, I’ll definitely be coming back eventually. Thanks @matt_karstetter for building such a place.

The Foundation Sports Training Facility is the best gym in the state of KS. I’m not just saying that either. I’v been training there for a handful of years and I have never once left disappointed or intimidated. Iv personally seen the gym staff drop what they are doing to come over and talk to you whether you go everyday or it’s your first time checking the gym out. The gym staff there are all very knowledgable and helpful. Why? Because they don’t just call it a “job”, they call it their home and their lifestyle. As soon as you walk into TF, you immediately see what all the gym has to offer. Ranging anywhere from massages and exercise classes to the huge variety of equipment and experienced personal trainers.

Great place to come of you are serious about fitness. Everyone from the staff to the people working out are really nice and willing to help with anything you need. Much less crowded than the rec center.

Great facility with lots of different options for weightlifting and athletic training.

Tons of Hammer strength, Precor and Rogue equipment and they are adding 5,000 more square feet and more equipment! Largest gym floor in Manhattan and its open 24 hours a day for members. This is not your cookie cutter, corporate style gym. If you want results this is the place for you.

Great equipment, staff, and environment. The 24/7 access makes getting a workout in very easy and convenient. Would highly recommend!

Great spot with plenty of room. There is more room for CrossFit 785 at a higher price which makes you wonder why arent there more weights. Clean, well maintained bit they could add more cardio equipment for mid day workouts. Other than this... I love it.

One of the best gyms Ive ever been to! 24/7 access, tons of racks and weights, great staff and members that truly care about you! If youre in the Manhattan, KS area, you gotta check this gym out!!

If this gym was in Kansas City I would have my membership by the time they started construction. this place is the place to go if you live in Manhattan or even if youre just visiting. friendly and attentive staff as well as members. I manage to make the foundation a must when I swing through.

Best gym in town to get a great workout in and if your dedicated to your fitness you will like this place and all the different exercises equipment.

I always hated going to the gym on campus because I felt like it was always crowded and I didn’t know how to properly use the equipment. I walked into the foundation one day, to just see what it was like, and left with a membership. The staff and atmosphere give me that boost every day to continuously better myself in this facility. I started training with Dave and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better trainer.

A lot of my friends have been going here for some time and I finally got a chance to check it out for myself the other day. The atmosphere and energy was amazing, so I bought my membership today! Definitely a place to come in and work on bettering yourself without worrying about the distractions that come from people who go to the gym just to socialize. You can focus on your workout with little to no distractions at all, its perfect. Access couldnt be better being its 24hrs. Theyre also expanding continuously and adding new equiptment as well as a wider variety of equiptment. Check it out, youll love it.

The best gym in town. Great people with awesome atmosphere, make sure to check it out and you wont be disappointed.

My fiancé and I came to a powerlifting meet at this location in 2017 and at that point I had lost my desire to lift, but coming this gym sparked it again. Being surrounded by people who inspire myself and my fiancé is so important to us being that we met at a gym. Great staff and awesome ownership that works out in the gym they built. Great facility all around.

Pretty decent gym overall. Have most of the equipment youd want, never very crowded, sales people can be pretty scummy (lots of pressuring, bait and switch deals, the classic ive been authorized to offer you this discount but you have to sign up today even though their discount is the standard price listed). Just a tad bit on the pricy side but not horrible. Overall pretty on par with a genesis or any other big chain, but locally owned and a pretty decent community among the customers.

Options for everyone! Friendly and welcoming community.

I love working out at The Foundation! The gym is well equipped and the atmosphere is excellent. 5 Stars!

Great place to workout . Awesome staff and equipment. I really recommend this place specially if you workout late, since its open 24/7.

Poor flexibility and communication for monthly members

First time I walked into the gym I felt like I was back at Vanier training for athletics. The atmosphere is amazing and the members feel like family!

I have access to the gyms on Fort Riley as well as genesis and nothing tops this gym. I feel so welcome and Dave is the best trainer I could have ever asked for.

Great equipment and environment.would recommend to any body trying to get fit!👌

Awesome. Super comfortable atmosphere. Definately be back

This is the place to be if youre serious about your goals. Theres no judgement when you walk through the door, everyone knows youre theee for one thing and one thing only, to achieve a goal that you have set for yourself. And with that process you are given some of the best equipment to help you on your journey. There are plenty of friendly gym regulars that will help with a spot and help chat to keep you on track, there are a set of amaxing trainers to check out if you are needing some extra assitance/motivation. Overall if youre serious dont wait any longer, go down to the foundation and sign up!

Loved it! Friendly staff and inviting atmosphere

Best training facility in Manhattan, Kansas.

Great staff all very knowledgeable biut fitness.
