Worst managed gym I have ever been a member of. No longer. Have moved on. Beware. Don't waste your money.

Things have changed, and not for the better. Management is terrible! The place is dirty. Machines dont work. some haven’t worked for months. It is sad to see a once great business be run into the ground.

I’ve been a member of the summit gym for a few months now and have enjoyed the facilities very much. Last week however after using some of the equipment I developed a bacterial infection on my leg which turned into MRSA, an extremely dangerous antibiotic resistant skin infection. I am now in the ER receiving IV treatment for the next 3 days. Cleanliness is an issue. Use caution and wipe down equipment before each use.

I've been a long time member and saw the three transitions the gym went through. During this time, the gym was left in disrepair-the 2nd owners were really the worst in this respect, While I appreciate the efforts to renew the equipment, my main problem is the disrespect shown to residents in the building. The gym has had aspirations to fashion itself after a cross between a powerlifting and a crossfit style gym, with the result that it attracts powerlifter wannabes. These people are deadlifting up to 500/700 lbs of weight and dropping it on the floor from 5 am to 11 pm. This causes an earthquake for residents at all odd hours. People in the building have reported this to various management, and nothing was done, ever. It has gotten to the point that asking nicely, being patient (for 7 years) with it getting louder and louder has amounted to naught. It would be uncouth of the owners, clientele, or the trainers who come and go to criticize someone for speaking up or to use pejorative labels to dismiss this opinion. There's blithe ignorance and dismissal of the tenants in the building-some of whom are THE CUSTOMERS IN YOUR GYM. I should also add that the Summit has been in direct violation of Governor Kelly's lockdown orders during March-May closure by letting its powerlifting clients to use the gym, discreetly they thought, in the basement. Unbenownst to the owners, tenants can hear when people are deadlifting, even from the basement, and even on the rooftop floor. Blame the construction of First Management, or use some common sense and think about if there's any insulation that could prevent noise from being transferred when a literal TON of weight is repeatedly dropped on the floor. I have also been a member of corporate gyms with no thumping , no dropping weights rules. For powerlifting to work, the concept is one of a 'dungeon' gym or basement gym that isn't in a multipurpose shared occupancy building-which is someone's living room, or dining room, or bedroom. During lockdown, people were deadlifting at 11 pm on a Sunday night, preparing for Olympic lift competitions that were OF COURSE canceled due to the ongoing covid19 fiasco in the US. Perhaps it's the partisanship of the owners to prompt them to defy the orders of the Democratic governor, but it was a violation of the rules nevertheless. It is quite disappointing that it takes one to say harsh words to get anyone to listen when all this was put forward politely for years in advance, by multiple people, all falling on deaf ears.

I've been a member at every gym in Lawrence, often holding two memberships at once. There's only one place I've been a member for 6 concurrent years and that is The Summit.

The community is amazing! Whether you just want to get your workout in and get out, are a heavy lifter, or casual, or you want to make awesome new friends, The Summit will make you feel welcomed and wanting to come back.

The staff is very genuine and friendly. They will happily help you with whatever you need. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and all have Degrees and certifications.

Their equipment is superb, and they have everything you need. Personally, I have a hard time finding a gym that is able to provide high-quality powerlifting barbells, and weights. Don't worry, if you are a serious lifter, this gym has it all. Not mention the wealth of knowledge to be found by the lifters here.

Lastly, Lacey's and Elizabeth's yoga classes are wonderful.

The only place in town that can accommodate my bizarre heavy bag/rowing machine/treadmill workout.

The staff are friendly and make you feel at home. The equipment is in great shape. The free weight machines in particular are of exceptional quality.

I am on them to add speed and double ended bags at some point, hope springs eternal.

VERY reasonable for a week pass for this visitor. This is a full service gym with lots of equipment from a heavy room for the power lifter crowd (they were actually very friendly!) to plenty of functional training equipment and space for that kind of work with all the usual expected machines and racks/benches. Has towel service and lockers *bring your own padlock* They have posted group classes and personal trainers, neither of which I used.

Who ever runs this gym is absolutely terrible at it. There is ZERO maintenance done on the equipment. If something breaks it will sit there with an “out of order” sign for months. I’m not talking about 2 or 3 months.. there is literally a treadmill that has been sitting there with a sign on it for 8 months. And good luck getting another one, because there are only 3.

This is the gym that I go to all the time because it's closest to my house.

It's a little strange there is only one bench press and there's no incline bench press. You have to use a dumbbell incline bench press.

That said, they do cater to CrossFit type training here very well. Also, plenty of cardio equipment to go around.

Clean gym and the showers are a plus. $50 a month may be steep but you're not signing a contract. Staff are very friendly too and so are the people who come to work out.

The Summit is the best neighborhood gym in Lawrence. If you are looking for a corporate gym, where nobody talks to you, you can find them around town. But if you are looking for a gym where they know your first name, with friendly staff and people who actually say hi to you and have conversations, then The Summit is the only one for you.
