But here I am, Ms. Ruthy coming in 7 days a week, not to brag , but sometimes I'm working out even twice a day!! Cuz I love it that much. Look I only have good things to say about FLX Fitclub. The instructors are so friendly, enthusiastic and very helpful. Everyone I have met in the classes have been so kind and welcoming. The gym itself is always really clean, organized and everything is wiped down after it has been used. So far I haven't taken a class that I didn't like. I feel like there are a lot of different options, depending on what your looking for. I really enjoy their cycling classes. Body pump is a must. I've felt comfortable enough to try things that I have never tried before like Barre, it was definitely harder then it looks. Then Sh'Bam was something I'd never thought I'd like and It is SO much fun. The class goes by so quickly. I love the Bodyflow and core classes on Fridays. It's a Great workout to do back to back, You feel very zen and sweaty. I have yet to try BodyCombat, BodyAttack and Grit. Not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous, but I'll report back and let you know what I think. Look...if you're looking for a clean gym with an array of great classes, amazing instructors and a fun crew of people to work out with. FLX is for you. Just come and take the 3 classes, to try it out. I bet you'll love it! Anyways thank you FLX family for starting me on my journey to getting healthy!

Nice array of group fitness, though I think Tues/Thurs should offer something in the 11am-1pm timeframe (preferably yoga). It has a pool, hot tub, sauna, many eliptical, stationary bikes and treadmills as well as other types of stationary machines. The view of the inlet and nearby park is wonderful while you work out. The free weight area is nice and the members and staff are very willing to help you and show you how to use the machines. The personal training pros can really help you meet your fitness goals. I love it!

Extremely spacious and clean…read more(including bathrooms), and I can't imagine how it can get crowded - I'm here on a 9am Sunday and there's barely anyone here (then again, they're probably at church). Very well lighted. Group fitness classes and studios look amazing. Nearly double the power racks as the NYC Crunches, rows of benches/dumbbells and cardio machines, and lots of weight machines as well. Everything works, as far as I could see. I have no experience with the staff and/or management/billing, so I can't respond those comments regarding that. Otherwise, I had a great experience.

They will make it seem like there are low rates but actually they charge…read moreall kinds of fees and even raise the rates without notice. and worst of all, there is no actual manager there that can do anything about anything. They have to run everything by "corporate" which, of course they then say corporate denied your request. And if you want to reach out to corporate, that's not allowed. The gym itself had a pretty unfriendly environment, with typical gym jocks slamming weights down as loud as they can, and the temperature often very stuffy and uncomfortable. But apparently there's not much they can do about that. Without checking with corporate of course.

Starting in the summer of 2025, I started going more regularly, and the facilities are just great, the staff are attentive and knowledgeable, and the place is always very clean. Now, even in the New Year when gyms get crazy for a month, it is possible to find a quiet time to come work out. I tend to use the hydrotherapy pool and have signed up for a fitness trainer. The steam room makes it possible for me to do "contrast therapy" (hot and cold) and I am feeling very comfortable in this routine. We also have the membership that allows us to go uptown as well and this works really well for us. A great place and worth the fee. I think this is contributing to my health.
