Super friendly staff. Always clean !
Don't sign up here if you strength train or want value for your hard-earned money.
I've been a member for almost two years now and when I first came I was excited. Flex24 seems like the whole package at first: a big gym with every machine, class, and real lifting equipment you'll ever need. However, they are severely lacking in true lifting equipment department. If you go in for a tour make sure to feel any of the bars. Not a single one has an ounce of knurling. That means zero grip. Take a closer look at any bar and you'll see the best one is at least a little bent and the worst is unusable. I can't imagine how long it's been since the gym bought a single new bar. These are the same bars I've been forced to use for all this time and there is no sign of management buying new ones.
The second most alarming thing is the flat bench presses. Every bench's cushion has awkwardly been deformed by decades of a thousand butts. Further, they are very cushioned limiting your ability to generate tightness in your bench press. The worst offense though is recently one of these benches broke so management ordered a bench MORE CUSHIONED THAN MY BED. That new bench I was excited about is complete unusable unless you want to take a nap. To put it simply: the owners and managers don't understand or don't care about the basic needs of people who actually require proper lifting equipment for strength training.
And I just want to note that I paid less for a corporate gym in downtown Houston with better barbells than this gym. The price is simply outrageous. Further, You have to pay "summer enhancement fees" (I've paid twice) so they can enhance the gym. I simply don't understand where this money is going? They've shown lists of minor upgrades to the university location and new group fitness equipment but I'm paying these fees as well and my basic needs haven't been met for two years. For the amount of members paying 80 dollars JUST for equipment upgrades I don't understand how they couldn't buy 3 or 4 new $200 barbells. As a paying customer I feel ripped off.
If you are new to lifting and want personal training, don't look for it here. I've only seen one personal trainer here and I've watched him do questionable things to his clients that only a medical professional should be doing. I can see this as a disaster waiting to happen because there's no way this man has a chiropractic or physical therapy license. I looked at his card and his cert is from ISSA. This is the easiest and open-book personal trainer certification. Basically anyone could get this certification with no need to ever study. Any self-respecting gym should turn this cert away and demand personal trainers with certs on the level of NASM or ACE. And if you are looking for training you should do your research on personal training credentials and get the best qualifications for the money you are paying.
The most frustrating thing is these issues can be fixed so easily if management just involved the members. They could use social media to have members vote on where the equipment upgrades are going (if any at all...). They could talk to a good sample of different lifters and get some insight into good equipment to buy. But no, they just buy the cheapest and worst equipment possible (if they buy new equipment at all) and use social media to lure more people into a bulletproof contract to make more money. Putting it simply, this is not really a gym run by passionate owners, it feels like a money making scheme. I would say if you are in the area at least look into paying less at smaller gyms like Payne's and Hero's. And if you are a serious lifter make the drive to midland for Iron Will Gym.
Not a bad place. Tad bit expensive but better than some other places in odessa.
BEWARE***DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS GYM!! My husband and I work as contractors and are only in certain places for 6 months to a year, so we specifically asked the young man about early termination in case we had to leave before the year ends, he explained it wouldn't be a problem as long as we showed proof of relocation, there couldn't be another one of their gyms within so many miles and also we would have to pay 30 days in advance, so sounded legit and fair, we never thought twice about actually going over the fine print on the contract trusting the knowledge of the employees. Worst Mistake Ever!!! Come to find out by the manager Stephanie, it would cost over $600 per person to cancel early or find someone who will take over contract which that would be another $75 per person to even do that as she states we will do anything we can to help, She Absolutely Will!! Anything she can to take all the money she can from you without even feeling bad. I'm sorry I know it was our fault for not going over the contract but you normally take it for granted and think people are honest to ho over what you are signing. After seeing we were still being charged after emailing the information we were told to, never got a response, finally we spoke to the Assistant Manager Julie, she said the same thing about the cancellation that the young man did so you will get the run around and a bunch of I'm sorry for the miscommunication. STAY AWAY!!

Wonderful staff, superior facilities. I would recommend to anyone who is beginning to workout or who is maintaining their fitness level...they have what you need!!!
It is so convenient that Flex 24 has childcare. I haven't seen many gyms with this option. Also, the caregivers that work there are so sweet and were attentive to the kids even playing with them sometimes! :)

Very nice facility. Friendly staff, and all the equipment you could want, PLUS an awesome smoothy bar! I won't be changing gyms.
This gym is perfect for the first timer no crowds equipment is great hassle free then when your ready you can go to the big one and the experience is greater! So for female first timers its perfect no meat heads or gym eyes or creepers!
I've been going there for years and enjoy my work out each time. The staff is friendly and I always see them busy helping others or cleaning and organizing the gym. I'm able to go workout in peace on well maintained equipment and it never feels too crowded and I never have to wait on a machine.
Flex 24 located at 42nd and University is a friendly environment. Filled with positive staff and members. Flex 24 is courteous, committed, helpful and safe. Thanks to our managers. We make sure to keep the facility cleaned daily, no exceptions! our job is to provide you with the best equipment, smoothies, classes and much more!. Not to mention the new equipment that is provided to us all every year. We make sure to provide you with all the information that you need, make you feel at home and stay satisfied.. I am happy to represent Flex 24.
Flex 24 is by far one of the greatest gyms I have made a membership with. Before becoming part of the staff, I came here for a few months and was pleased with how clean the facility is always kept, the wide variety of equipment here and how friendly all the staff is to help with any issues that came up. The dry sauna, outdoor workout range and smoothie bar just give a brief idea on how unique this place tries to be! And with the one time annual enhancement each year, there is only greater things to be expected. If physical and mental self-growth is what you are striving to achieve, the environment here leaves you with none the less!
Definitely the best gym I've ever been a member of. There is a dangerous issue with weights being left out and cable attachments in the walk ways. The gym, however, is very clean and has the sweetest members-everyone helps each other out. The equipment os very well maintained and the classes are awesome. Flex 24 is definitely a second family for me.
This gym is the best filled with amazing staff, the free weight selection is awesome everything about this gym is the best especially the classes and the instructors I wouldn't go to any other gym. Not to mention i have never been to such a gym where its so clean all the time keep up the good work Flex24!!!
This gym will rip you off. They charged me for months after my contract was over and never contacted me and then sent my "non payments" to collections! They then proceeded to blame me for the staffs incompetence. Nice facility but horrible business ethics.
You get what you pay for...
