FLEX

Experiencia fantástica: I tried Flex on a free 3 day pass. I want to join Flex Gym again because it is located so close to where I live. Note:: The problem with the Stair Master machines in general is that the rise is too high and that makes me not want to exercise on it very long, even on a slower setting and I love walking or running up a flight of stairs. Most stairs are 6" high, whereas the Stair Master step height seems like it is 9" or 10." I want to forward this comment onto the maker of Stair Master and see if I get a response because all the gyms seem to have the same step rise.

Experiencia fantástica: Great neighborhood gym, has all the machines/equipment you need and the team is really nice

Experiencia fantástica: Very awesome gym. They added three new rooms, a cardio room, a spin bike room and a punching bag room. I look forward to coming here every day and the staff are super friendly and helpful. With the row machine you can get some great views of girls in leggings. It has the best atmosphere of any gym I've gone to and it's way cheaper than the YMCA.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this gym! The girl who greeted me at the front desk couldn't have been nicer, and my yoga teacher was absolutely great! I will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great neighborhood gym. The staff is always friendly and helpful; the equipment is well maintained. Whether you want to do circuit training, free weights or take one of many classes, this is the place to come. Just a real great environment to work out in.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has been a life changer. Before coming here, I never worked out, ever. Now, I'm at Flex 5-6 times a week. Free boot camp on Saturdays at 9am at Piedmont Elementary and a wide variety of classes throughout the week to choose from. Enough machines that I've never had to wait for more than a minute on any machine I wanted to use. Everyone here is friendly and encouraging and I've made a lot of great friends here.

Experiencia fantástica: Love the low cost to use the equipment, and the circuit style training.

Experiencia fantástica: Cozy place to have perform your own training plan, even though there seem to be enough people to help you out with setting new plan if needed. And they have everything there for the good training. Great experience!

Experiencia fantástica: From the very beginning, Ned and the man who teaches boxing made me very comfortable, an overweight older female. FLEX offers genuine, personal acceptance that inspired me to continue working on my physical health.

Experiencia positiva: Great budget gym. Cardio room was my favorite, a machine was always available. The weights section needs more duplicates of lighter weights. (20-40lbs)

Experiencia fantástica: Clean and safe environment for my workouts. Love the class instructors as well!

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly staff and members, nice variety of equipment and different classes to fit many different members' needs! I love the community vibe! The Body Performance class with Kara was super fun and I got a great full-body workout.

Experiencia positiva: Took the Fri morning Pilates w andi. It was ok. If you want something gentle and slow this is your class. If you looking to sweat skip it.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, low key local gym. They have everything you need for most regular workouts, and rarely need to wait for machines except during very busy times. Staff is super friendly. No vibe of pressure, everyone is just there to do their own thing. Super convenient location.

Experiencia fantástica: After not attending a gym in over a year and a half, I was very nervous about coming back - partially due to health and safety but mostly because gyms can be intimidating places! Not so at FLEX, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and staff/patrons are very helpful & friendly. It feels good to be back!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome staff! Great classes, and many to choose from. Great vibe in there.

Experiencia fantástica: While a small gym, it never feels crowded enough to where you can't do your workout. It's a clean and organized space. There's enough room, weights, and machines to accomodate your level and type of work out for the day. The gym does a great job of fostering a collaborative environment as other members seem to care about etiquette like not hogging an area or weights for too long.

Experiencia fantástica: Flex Gym is a clean, well equipped site for the general user, but also has equipment for those seeking more focused and higher level exercise. There are also classes. The equipment is maintained in good working order, and the staff is friendly, professional, and responsive to questions on how to best either use equipment or achieve exercise goals.

Experiencia fantástica: Convenient, friendly, clean, reliable, it has all the equipment I need, great hours, staff is very helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: The owners are very friendly and it's close to home. I especially like doing the circuit training for overall fitness. I'll be glad when the bikes return. I'm also thinking of taking the zoom class when it returns.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful small neighborhood gym! Has all you need to work out how you want , but I really enjoyed the circuit for a quick workout. Weekend morning boot camp is also great!

Experiencia fantástica: This gym is a local gem! Small and bright, with wonderful, attentive and knowledgable staff and great classes, some of the best with a focus on seniors.

Experiencia fantástica: 100!! Well-equipped, clean, convenient boutique gym that's not overcrowded, with good customer service, great instructors and friendly community vibe too. One of the few gyms with Open gym option, as well as classes that's very reasonably priced. Having been to over 10 gyms in 3 different countries, and joined an Equinox-equivalent for 4 years, I can honestly say this is one of the decent ones given its price point. Really glad to have this in the neighborhood.

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Experiencia fantástica: When the pandemic hit and we switched to 100% zoom classes the gym actually let us take weights and foam rollers home with us at no charge

Experiencia fantástica: Simple but enough. Not overwhelming. Good vibe, clean, friendly staff. Not overly crowded. Perfect smaller neighborhood gym in my opinion!

Experiencia fantástica: Flex is a great, no frills, neighborhood gym. The space is much roomier than it looks from the outside with a studio, spin room, and weight room in the back. The weight room has two squat racks so there is rarely a line. It is clean, the people are nice, and it's usually not crowded. What more could you ask for? I hope Flex gets to re-open soon!

Experiencia fantástica: This gym is perfect for me. Very helpful staff, and now with the Covid set up with all the neccessary prevenyative measures. Such as disinfectants, aircirculations........and staff disinfecting everything ongoing. Hope they will be able to stay open for us. we all neeed to get MORE excercise these days in order to maintain Body, sole and mind throungh this crises................So let's get going

Experiencia fantástica: This is an incredible physical fitness training center that caters to all regardless of age as there are also a fair number of older/middle aged members that mix in well with younger members. Staff are easily accessible and offer their expertise and suggestions from the day you first walk in here. The exercise equipment is top notch and groups and 1:1 instruction with state of the art coaching is also offered. These folks know what they are doing and will share their expertise with you. You will see results of your hard work in your body! This place prides itself on results! You cannot go wrong with Flex on Piedmont. I do 1:1’s with Flex’s manager Bruce and he has worked with me to restore my balance from past injuries and build stamina and endurance!

Experiencia fantástica: Am a new member (Jan 2020), working out gently and low-impact pre-surgery. I feel comfortable and safe in the space. Feels like a neighborhood gym, which it is. Equipment in good shape, place is clean and laid back

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly staff, lots of weights and machines and a good amount of room. Great place overall for anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: My fave gym

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, highly recommended. Staff is friendly, accommodating and responsive. Equipment is always in working order. Facility and equipment is always clean. Numerous exercise and yoga classes for people of all ages, interests and abilities. I’m giving 5 stars but have one complaint/warning for those looking for a circuit gym. Circuit etiquette is not enforced here. You will encounter people who are oblivious to circuit etiquette. They jump from machine to machine without regard to whom might be looking to use it when the bell rings. So you may find your circuit interrupted by a clueless member. Early mornings see the place filled with predominantly elderly women who use Flex to sit on the equipment and socialize with each other while ignoring the circuit bell. Mildly frustrating when you’re pressed for time in the morning. That said, overall I love this gym and would recommend it to anyone looking to get in shape.

Experiencia fantástica: Flex is a great place for all the reasons I have not liked gyms. It is smaller than most , which i really love..never crowded at the times I opt to go, it is clean, staff is very nice also. Flex is also affordable for those of us who are now retired and live on fixed incomes but want to stay active and healthy. Best of all..Flex is conveniently located right in my neighborhood. Just love my Flex Gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is chill, from people working there to the clients, and the clients are very diverse so no one feels out of place. There are usually enough cardio machines, and the circuit is great.

Experiencia fantástica: Flex gym is incredible! I've been going there for almost 4 years, 2 with just the gm member ship and 2 with the gym and class membership. It is well worth the money. They have quality instructors, bright clean workout space with a comfortable vibe.

Experiencia fantástica: Like that they support low income non-profit workers, and students. That's always a plus in my books. Well done Flex

Experiencia positiva: I love this place becaue it has circuit training and no pressure friendly service. The only drawback are the hours. I would love if they would stay open until 10pm. Other than that I love it.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym for the price! Super friendly, no bs, great location, good variety of classes at a variety of times for the working client. I have nothing bad to say about Flex! It deserves all 5 stars.

Experiencia fantástica: Great classes, owners listen to customers requests, great staff, great location, everyone's friendly! I love going to Flex, I love the community! If you're over 50 take Kathleen class!!

Experiencia fantástica: I love the location and friendly staff. I appreciate that it's never too crowded as well, especially for the times I go. The facilities are great, and the gym is nicely laid out. If I had any suggestion, it would be maybe for one additional ergometer (rowing machine). That's my go-to machine, but since there's only one often times I have to wait until someone else finishes. Other than that, I really love it there. Keep up the good work!

Experiencia fantástica: Easy 5 stars. Great value, friendly staff, clean, uncrowded. Nice yoga/class room, spinning room, enough cardio equipment, a variety of resistance machines, and another room with 2 racks, dumbells & assorted toys. Moved away; miss this place.

Experiencia fantástica: What I like about Flex Fitness on Piedmont n Oakland? Everything - machines are great and well maintained, great community, good facilities, and the staff are all awesome: George, Bruce, Ricardo, Jason, all super nice, very kind and supportive, and helpful. Flex is a very special awesome community. #fitness #selfcare #love

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly Staff, Well Maintained Equipment, and a Clean Space

Experiencia positiva: Previous reviews are spot-on, and I add my plus vote to a great place. There's something for everyone, clean & inviting space, good location (and approve people-watching shoot, right onto Piedmont Avenue), nice staff, varied schedule of classes. After a week here I'm quite happy.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym is an excellent place. It is clean, nice environment, good taste in workout music, excellent instructors, the classes are fun and versatile, great workout machines and friendly staff. I really enjoyed my time there!. If I still lived near by the piedmont ave. I could go to flex again without any doubts. Believe me, I'm a gym bug and this is the best place where I've workout by far! Thank you Flex, George and Bruce and all the staff there for being so attentive to costumers, you really take care of us!

Experiencia fantástica: I take a spin class taught by Heather at this gym which I love! She is super motivating and supportive. The gym is neat and clean, has equipment in good shape, and is not crowded when I go early in the morning (before work). The location is very convenient also, a lot of street parking and a parking lot that is free before 8am. I plan to continue going here.

Experiencia fantástica: A friendly, local, no frills, has everything you need, gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Easy going, friendly. Everything I need in a gym.

Experiencia positiva: A pretty mellow place, friendly staff, helpful, and clean (very important).

Experiencia positiva: Really great local gym. Trainers like Ned make it worth coming back to. A great value and good to have in the neighborhood!
