About

Flex Spa in LA is pretty much an iconic hangout in the gay community. Think of it as your chill zone with a twist – it's got all the spa vibes with a social kick. Located right off the 101 on Melrose Ave, Flex is super easy to get to, which is a big plus.

The place has got the works – an outdoor pool where you can catch some rays, a gym for a quick pump, and of course, a steam room to sweat it out. It's not just about relaxing though; this place is a great spot to meet new people. Whether you're lounging by the pool or chilling in one of their video lounges, you're bound to bump into someone interesting.

Flex is part of a chain started by Charles Fleck. The guy was a legend for pushing health and safety in the gay community. We're talking free condoms and HIV testing – serious stuff.

I enjoyed this place until today. The misinformation that was giving to me about being here over renewing after 3times. Now one coworker said u have to leave it room for like and hour or 2 than return afterwards if u would like to come back. Than I had a another staff say I was suppose to be gone for 24hours before returning and I had no clue. I'm from out of town and someone told me about this place. And I really seriously strongly encourage all of u to at least come try it out it was a great experience and the workers wasn't ghetto nor disrespectful or ignorant smart for green dollar bill but not on the education books partners how to treat people to keep them coming so they can promote to other people about the business because it's the mouths not the dollar bill it's the mouths that's going to bring the business further where it is and then the dollar bills follow behind the mouths free promotion. Just be very careful how you approach these new people that's coming into the business to help support it you might not know who you're saying hello to so be careful and be very and wise!

It’s much more fun if you go with a friend or two. Staff are helpful and friendly. Decently sized facility with plenty of rooms, and multiple areas for activities (gym, pool, lounge, etc).

Spend your money somewhere else. These rude people don't value clients at all. Employees there treat patrons like shit. No smiles, no eye contact......

Trash. I tried to go recently and they said I was banned. For what? Are you kidding? Didn’t get an overpriced room. Walked around but left because I was being stalked. Told the employee that I never wanted to come back. Oh, now I remember!! Yuck. Stay away from here

Terrible place, I don't recommend it at all. The workers are on top of you watching you, it's too uncomfortable. There is no privacy at all. disgusting and expensive place

Hello George thank you for everything on my first day come back to FLEXThe club is very much different. Very clean and new designed rooms and around the club. All the staff are brand new and very nice and friendly. After almost 3 years I just come back to FLEX. George manager is very very nice person. I know him since the year of 2000. Still the same. Still a very nice manager I'm strongly recommending for everyone 👍

the surrounding neighborhood seems unsafe. with a tiny parking lot, people have to park on the streets. it's also right next to a freeway. if sounds of cars passing by are relaxing to you, then you will enjoy being by the pool.pool water has so much chlorine, which is understandable but still... i could feel my skin burning; had to get out quickly and rinse it off. when i was entering, they did not mention nor offer slippers; had to walk on the filthy floor barefoot, yikes!gym equipment looks rusty; seems like it hasn't been updated since 1990s. if you really care about cleanliness & safety, then you probably should avoid this place.

I couldn't even get in.An employee was yelling at me for trying to park in their parking lot, then said to never come back. Apparently I was supposed to know there's a 40min 2 car line to do to park in the lot.How am I supposed to know that?I was gonna realize seconds later the lot was full... literally unnecessary approach and tone. I left and never coming back, just as he told me to.

I worked here for a short time a few years ago and if I could work there again I would. Everyone needs a remember it's a membership club and has a swimming pool. LA is very expensive. A pool in the summer and the place is clean

I'm from Australia haven't been to Flex since 2019 Re Covid, back then the staff were very average at best. This time I have been 3 times and the staff have been very pleasant, it would appear that Flex is now being well run. One small complaint No free coffee anymore. I'm quite happy to pay for coffee, a coffee machine would be great.

Update on May 5, 2023. Arrived around 1:30am, pretty busy, there were around 15-20 guys lined up, long time waiting, because some of them are the first time visitors, got to fill and sign the paper form…it almost took 5-10 mins to checkin a visitor. Please provide online form and signature, then those new visitors can use phone to fill when waiting in the line.Sex activities are still hot and guys are diverse. Flex will be my only place when visit LA.==============Very friendly staff, and a good and spacious spa to meet new people. Even had fun in the workout area! :-DUpdate on Feb 5:Will definitely return when next time in town. Spent a very busy Saturday night here, rooms were sold out when I checked in around 8pm. You still see a long line for checkin at 12am. Lots of hot and handsome guys(comparing with another adult club without showers nearby). After a sleepless night cruise, I even got my final two xxx at 8am and 9am in the morning! =====for those complaining about no steam or some facilities didn’t work, go to LA fitness to enjoy, 😀

Good: Big place, lots of private rooms, pool, spa, gym, theater room, lots of lockers 24/7Bad: Too much white bright lights and needs dedicated darker rooms,, need sling rooms and cubicles for those who dont need private room, common shower areas need rennovation, need better heating as ppl are in towels not in street clothes, esp at night. Long wait times in the entrance.Flex is one of the few last standing men's adult place in LA yet the owner is complacent on not improving its facility. Been checking this place once in a while but Everytime I come here it's a disappointment, the overall vibe of this place is not conducive to a happy ending.

The desk dude when we checked out was such a little C**t. He accused me of staying 8 hours longer than I should have so I gave him some attitude back and said how could I have had to leave 5 hours before I got here. The SODA machine wouldn’t take coins OR bills however I did enjoy the free balloons everywhere. Pool was nice and warm, hot tub nice. The rooms are a little dated and weird with a ghetto setup. Why no pool table? Overall it’s not bad and would visit again but Miss attitude at the desk needs some coaching, yes, reading is fundamental but reading the time on a seat apparently needs some teaching points, I know clocks are hard aren’t they honey?

Just had my first bath house experience ever in my life last week -- I loved it! I grew up in the era of internet, so 'traditional cruising' is very foreign to me. Usually requires a lot of eye contact... I'm a shy boy w limted social skills but I managed to let myself have a good time. 😈My recommendation is to go around 12a-2a, more guys started showing up around that time on Sat eve to Sun morning. I loved the pool / jacuuzi area & how they're heated. Suuuuper relaxing. Not scary. Fun. People were actually nice. Strange for LA but I'm not a bath house culture expert... Yet.

I’ve been going to this place for over 15 years now and he’s getting really really busy lately. There’s always a long wait for rooms, specially on the weekends. My advice for the management is to get more people like the Latino guy with the tattoo on his face. If it wasn’t for him, you’ll take three days to get a room. They have maybe six or even five employees at a time, but when you go to get a towel, he’s there when your Best Buy room, he’s cleaning it. I don’t know if he’s a manager or if they are if there is even a manager there when I go if they had three of the three of him working, customers would get the room back faster and Flex will make more money.

Staff is still rude. They pick and choose who will get CLEARLY AVAILABLE ROOMS based on your age and looks and probably if you're willing to tip them. Sad. 2 full service and full-size bathhouses remain in LA, and this one is horrible. I'm not sure entirely why they haven't spent any money to fix any of the issues or replace the 39 year old carpet. Fix the steam room and sauna, which are closed or just not used anymore. With Midtowne closing, you would think these owners would see the value in spending money to upgrade this facility to make a ton more money. Especially since they have pretty bad reviews and a mediocre score on here.I'll spend my time and money at N Hollywood spa and Slammer.Bye Flex. 👋

This place seems to be under new management and so far from experience customer service has been great. Although there's much room for improvement such as the steamroom not operating the staff has been nice and friendly, and I even had the manager or lead of this establishment help me find parking when another customer was trying cut me off to get my spot thank you that made a huge impression on me . I did notice some guys complaining about towel service hope you can improve in providing faster and better service to customers when they request them. Thanks .

UPDATE 10/5/22:The sauna is closed and doesn't work. The steam room still doesn't work and the TV isn't even on in there. I sort of wish they would tell you this stuff upfront because I would not have paid to go in (it was $37 total for a $27 weekend locker and a required $10 membership fee). Staff wasn't rude to me, but they did come across as stand-offish and rude to others. This place has really gone downhill, its not an attractive place anymore, could be so much cooler. A change in direction/ownership could actually make this a great place.

I always have a great time. Mostly the staff are friendly and willing to help you out when needed. when I visited a week a go I was very impressed to see the amount of work the staff are putting in there. Ive been a few times in the past month and theres one guy there that Im not sure if he is a manager but he seems to know and do It all, so I suggest finding him if you need any help or have questions. Keep up the good work!!!!! its nice to see flex really turning around and getting some overdue TLC. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHATS NEXT

The Staffs are extremely rude. Don't waist your time to go there. They are so racist and unfriendly. Looks like they want to punch to you. Another things is if you pay by credit card or debit card their machine is inside the glass. And you need to write the pin of your bank card and give to them . So dengares. I never seen anywhere in my life they asked to write the bank card pin to give to them.How can they ask of your bank card pin to give to them by writing on the paper?? Strenge. Just few customers only also they are so rude. How can they will do business if they are so rude with guest.

My locker was broken into on another night I triple checked my locker was locked Went for a swim not long after came back to make sure my stuff was still there found my locker opened phone missing I had to take a taxi home the guy at the front desk was helpful called the manager helped me contact the police in case I wanted to make a police report he seemed concerned even offered to help pay for a cab i felt bad him having to deal what happened I didn’t know if that was normal thing that happens there he understood how upset i was was very helpful thankfully they didn’t take one of my cards Idk about this place It was my first time at one these places only went couple times but it seems sketchy and dangerous can’t help feeling it was definitely a inside job whatever the case I won’t return ever if you do make sure you keep your things with you or around you at all times
