Everyone is super nice and encouraging on my journey to fitness! Come and join up now!!
Great place to work out. I love the facilities, smoothie bar has great tasting smoothies , and the kids love to go play while I work out. My kiddos actually ask if they can go to the gym! The classes are very good - different levels and a variety for everyone. People are there to work out - not judge!
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.
Love this Gym. Been a member for 3 years now. Inside and out doors equipment. All kinds of fitness classes. Gym accommodates all types. Smoothie bar serving great shakes. Prices are two high, though.
Very nice gym and superb service from my experience! Staff is friendly and courteous. All the equipment you could need to maintain a quality work out. Nice atmosphere. Give it a try!

This gym is AMAZING!! I have been a member of several gyms all over the country, and by far Flex24 offers more than most gyms. Clean facility, awesome aerobic classes and great instructors!!

Clean environment, enough of everything to suit your needs. Friendly staff and smoothie bar is a definite plus.
Required an ID to lift. Didn't bring mine. Deff going to Payne's gym. They don't have that ridiculous rule.

Great gym and great staff.
A1 smoothies
Great equipment, excellent service. Highly recommend!!!
Good variety of equipment and excellent space. The outside area is ideal for a lot of things I like to do. Same rush hours as every other gym. Really the only complaint is the men's locker room has been filthy every time I go in there. I just try to avoid it.
Gym is the best In town! Professional staff is always helpful with anything I need and is always welcoming. Top of the line equiptment, smoothie bar, free classes..what more can I ask for? Being surrounded by committed members and a confident staff makes me feel like this is my second home. This is more than a gym, I recommend it to anyone looking for a top of the line fitness facility
Do not under any circumstances ask Stephanie Cowan for help. She will try to take as much of your money as possible. For instance, she tried to make me pay the June enhancement fee twice over the course of a one year contract, even though none of the other employees thought this was fair. I had to get in touch with the owner (Mike-also owns FLX Energy Services) to put a stop to her nonsense.
Otherwise, this is an excellent gym and Mike keeps the equipment in great shape.
Great variety of equipment. Love the 24 hour access.
Almost impossible to get out of the contract you have to sign even if you move away from the area. I do not recommend this place whatsoever. You are better off going to a gym where you can pay as you go instead of signing a contract with them. Also the contract doesn't automatic cancel at the end. You have to let them know in advance that you are cancelling your membership or they will keep taking your money. Glad my contract is almost up.

It's an excellent gym. Innovative and modern, it has the best and the most complete equipment. The child care and the outside areas are great. Awesome smoothie bar ;) Its sophisticated and modern style and design, make it unique in Odessa. Professional and close staff and services, always responding to your needs...
There are many good things to say about Flex24, but the best thing for me is that it has a superb leadership, always trying to meet the expectations of its customers and improve the services that the gym offers.
I highly recommend this gym :)
