I decided to get back in the gym again after several years off and Mitchell made it super quick and easy! The place is extremely well-organized and super clean. I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in the door. I'm excited to be back!
Thanks, Mitchell (and the rest of the crew)!

I started coming here in 2023 when I first moved to Manhattan. Even after moving away for a year, I kept coming back. I’m now back in town and I’m so glad to be back. Our new assistant manager, Mitchell, is awesome. He’s friendly and helps out new members. If you haven’t checked it out, you should!

The Foundation is by far the best “No Frills” gym in the MHK Area. Great atmosphere and music, clean and updated gym equipment (lots of specialty equipment and free weights too), and a super down to earth owner and staff. I left Genesis for this gym and NEVER looked back.

MITCHELL!!! You are the best! Yall, if you’re in the Little Apple for school, military, work, etc, the Foundations could be right fit for you! Mitchell was extremely helpful and professional. He was able to answer all my questions and concerns. Not only did he answer them, he answered them with enthusiasm and passion. He truly enjoys his job and the people he works with. I have traveled all over and tried many different gyms, but this one feels the most like home due to the friendly staff members, such as Mitchell, and a welcoming community! Even when I’m knitting on the treadmill, no one looks surprised :)

Ive been a member of this gym for over two years. Im moving so I tried cancelling this membership in May and they still keep taking the membership out. Called and they said “the other guy forgot to process the cancellation and it will get fixed.” Still didn’t. I was charged again another month after. Called again and was told their manager isn’t usually available and behind on processing. I shouldn’t have to continue to be charged for a membership I cancelled two months ago because a manager isn’t available.

This is the worst experience I’ve ever had in a gym. The management is terrible, and the place is dirty. There’s dust everywhere, and the bathrooms are never cleaned. Somehow, under this new management, the gym has only gotten worse. I’ve been a member for three years, and the first manager was amazing — everyone adored and respected him.

The new manager, on the other hand, has no idea how to run the gym. I’ve heard the same complaints from others. One person even said, “The foundation has literally gotten dirtier, smells awful, and somehow it’s even more expensive now.”

This is not how a gym should be run. Honestly, a toddler could do a better job.

If you're in the Manhattan area and looking for a gym that meets and exceeds high expectations, The Foundation 24-Hour Gym is an absolute must. From the moment you walk in, the welcoming atmosphere sets it apart—not just from the friendly staff, but also from the incredible community of members who make every workout a positive experience. I have yet to have a conversation in this gym that didn’t end in a smile or a laugh, which speaks volumes about what The Foundation truly represents.

The gym itself is immaculately maintained, with a clear focus on cleanliness and equipment upkeep, which is always appreciated. But beyond the physical space, what really makes The Foundation special is its faith-based culture. Every Thursday, Pastor Barry from University Christian Church leads a Bible study at the gym—an amazing opportunity to grow spiritually while also building connections with other like-minded members.

This culture is reflected from the top down, especially in the gym’s owner, Bill, who is often seen working out in the mornings and afternoons. He’s always happy to offer advice on form or suggest new exercises (if requested), making him a great resource for anyone looking to take their training to the next level.

As a K-State student who started out at the rec center—where long wait times and a “headphones in, keep to yourself” mentality are the norm—switching to The Foundation was a culture shock in the best way possible. Ironically, I actually spend more time here per workout than I did at the rec, but that’s by choice—catching up with friends, meeting new people, and truly enjoying the gym experience. Plus, they offer a discounted semester pass for students, so you don’t have to worry about paying for a membership when you’re away.

If you’re looking to level up your training in a gym that feels like home, this is the place. Get in now—you won’t regret it!

As a powerlifter, I have trained
at strength facilities in Montana, California, Kansas, and at over 10 facilities Florida. The Foundation exceeds my boujee expectations, it has added more quality equipment in the year and half that I have been here than any other gym I’ve been a member of (which says a lot). Additionally, after four years off from competing, I had my first prep not being on a team, and I wouldn’t have been able to comeback, add over 100 pounds to my total, set and break my own state deadlift record, without the amazing staff and fellow lifters here. Post competition, I continued my weight loss journey and lost 40lbs and maintained my strength. If you’re afraid of joining strength based gyms, I assure you the bigger and stronger the members are here the nicer and more helpful they are, we (being just me) get grouchy if you squat or Olympic lift with a blue taped bar though. 😅

The staff has always been supportive whether it’s offering a spot or a full blown hour long conversation. The equipment has always been well maintained and just in the two years I’ve been there they have added new equipment multiple times. I enjoy training here and have never thought about switching my main gym.

The Foundation is the best gym in Manhattan. The staff go above and beyond to keep the gym clean and they’re always friendly. Bill has given me free duck eggs and steak to make sure I get my daily protein intake.

I was going to Genesis at first but I didn’t like the fact majority of folks there cared more about videotaping their workouts rather than actually working out. Every way I turned there was a camera pointed in my direction. Switched over to The Foundation in 2022 and can honestly say it’s the better gym. Atmosphere is 100 times better and folks go there to actually workout.

Don’t forget to check out the amazing trainers Michael, Joey and Brandi too. Let them set you up for success this coming year!

Honest review as someone whos been to a few different private gyms.
If I was more into the competition aspect of bodybuilding, Id have to remove one star due to the posing room having only one mirror, but Im not concerned with that, so 5 stars.
Equipment is all high quality such as rouge or hammer strength, and most if not all is in almost brand new condition.
Community is wonderful from what ive seen, everyone is welcoming, encouraging, and ready to talk if you want to.
Range of equipment is unmatched, about anything you can think of from bodybuilding to powerlifting, even a bag for boxing/kicking and a mat for jiu-jitsu or grappling.
Prices are also very affordable with one time free day pass, as well as a 3 day, 7 day, and monthly membership options.
Wonderful gym, staff, and community, highly recommend👍👍👍

Amazing gym! Recently just switched from a commercial gym to foundation and it’s a world of a difference.
In a comercial gym I’d feel stared at and judged for lifting heavy and grunting.
I love that I don’t feel judge in foundation, actually the opposite. I was benching 335 lbs and some of the gym members started clapping and cheering me.
I can pose in the mirror and not feel judged. Training for a powerlifting meet and not be stared at and accused of taking gear.
Staff members are super friendly and encouraging as well.
The only complain I have is that there’s no sauna. But other than that, this is the perfect gym if you want to make real progress 😁🤝💯

Great place to work out if you're into that thing but, if they're going to have an event there they should figure out a better way for people that are to park their vehicles. Definitely not a place for children. A $10 entry fee for people just to watch is a little steep. They used to be $5. Which is acceptable. And if they have an event if that's going to last all day, they should have some kind of catering and has some trash cans put throughout the building. Other than that the place is really great

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)

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.

While they pretend to support the military, they will try to nickel and dime you at every opportunity and hope you don't notice. Cancelling is a nightmare, even with supporting documentation.

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.

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 I've 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 don't have and a very wide assortment of various weightlifting/fitness equipment like blocking sleds, boxes to jump on, squat racks to do "farmer's walks" with, etc. They really have a lot of diverse equipment that most gyms like Genesis wouldn't have.

For the price, you can't 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.

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 you're serious about fitness!

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.

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.

If you're 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 you're wanting to take your physical health seriously, join The Foundation.
