The Foundation is the best weightlifting facility in Manhattan, KS. They have a great selection of…read moreequipment for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and plenty of space for circuit training/CrossFit workouts. They have a full range of weights including all types of barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and more. Also, the best part of this gym is that the facility offers 24/7 access for members. The owners are very nice and really care about the quality of the equipment and cleanliness of the facility. I haven't done any personal training, but the trainers are always helpful and I have heard great things. They also offer a variety of other services including group classes and massages. The prices for memberships and services are very reasonable. If you're looking for a real weightlifting gym and a place to be surrounded by people working hard to improve themselves, this is the best place in Manhattan, KS.

I was speaking with the owner who was very unaccommodating as college student who will only be in Manhattan for a few months at a time. She did not seem to know much when I asked questions. She also did not disclose that you have to purchase their very pricey mat and towel to workout there, so be aware of that. On top of that, she did not know of the of HOTWORX "Sweat Elite" membership that allows you access to all HOTWORX locations across the county (which I found on the website). This was the option I went in wanting to buy considering I was required to do 6 month membership but only live here for 3 more months. She was rude and I felt very disrespected walking out.

A friend told me that the first class at this place was free, so I thought, hey, why not? It was…read morekind of confusing to find the door (it's sort of my the to-go line for the restaurant outside btw) but I saw someone walking with a yoga mat and figured following her would be a good plan. It was. You go up a flight of stairs and it's the first door that you come to. Go in and there is a little waiting room area, where you sign up for the class. The woman who led our class (I think her name was Jessa) checked us in, and asked if we had any injuries, etc which I appreciated. I didn't bring a yoga mat so I borrowed one (which had a very nice smell... Which is sort of random, i know, but it was nice). Then we went into the studio, and it was so pretty! There were new hardwood floors, lots of windows, and a cool yoga photo on the front wall. It felt very welcoming. Jessa was a great teacher, very patient and helped me make small corrections. I went to the gentle flow one so it was pretty calm, but was told that there was another class after that was much harder. The one I was in had a wide range of people, which was nice. Jessa made it seem kind of familial, like in the beginning she said it was their 6th birthday on Saturday and they were going to have free classes and do a champagne toast after, and even if you didn't want to come to a class you could still come for the toast. Cool place. I'd definitely recommend trying it out for a class, whether you've never done yoga before or are just looking for a new place. It's free the first time, so either you find that you like it and come back, or you don't, but at least you tried something new. Either way, seems like a win to me :)

Unfortunately the young lady running the event did not have pickleball experience. Placing a number 1 or 2 behind each score sheet would let players know who would serve first not playing rock, paper scissors. I felt bad for guys who travelled the first day to play two games and be sent home. The second day was run much smoother under different rules. Everyone played more games. All in all still a fun place to play. Genesis you need to have chairs in your front lobby that don't look like you got them from a second hand store. Plenty of parking. Bathrooms kept clean.
