Good and Bad times
Sunday seems to be the best day to go during the week. Lunch hour during the weekdays can be fun as well.
what a mess
the space is great. the upkeep and the staff is a disaster. it can take an hour to check into this club. several times i've found myself at the end of a line of six or seven guys, and it takes the clerks at least 10 minutes to check in each. that's because, while there typically are two or three of them, they spend most of their time talking to one another. also, when they change shifts, the whole place comes to a halt. then you're talking of a wait of up to an hour for one person to get in the door. the gym, old but workable, has been closed for weeks. the steam room stinks. you get the picture. why, in our gay world, do we put up with crap like this. why, when there are well-run clubs in places like Chicago, does LA have to have such a dump? save your money and go elsewhere
looks nice
Keeps Getting Worse & No Longer Popular
I've been going to Flex LA for several years. It has become very unpopular over recent years & whatever clientele there is, is very poor quality & pathetic. I've traveled around the country & world for both business & pleasure & have come to the final conclusion LA has a horrible bathhouse scene, especially considering the size of the city & gay population. It's obvious all hot guys of any age/type are on line at home & not going to Flex or other sex venues in LA. I'm not a fan of the on line hook up scene, but I will neither waste my time nor money to walk around depressing, miserable Flex LA again!
A decent bathhouse
This is a decent bathhouse. Part of the Flex chain of bathhouses, it's not nearly as grand as the Flex in Cleveland, but it does have the usual amenities. Lockers, rooms, a full gym, video lounges, showers, etc. There is also a very nice outdoor area with a pool and jacuzzi. The water in the pool was a bit cold for my taste, but the jacuzzi was very nice warm temperature and had some very strong jets. Parking shouldn't be an issue as they have their own parking lot. Parts of the club have been recently renovated it appears, but overall it's a bit tired and worn -- however it's relatively clean. On the Friday afternoon that I visited, there were more than enough folks in the club for me to enjoy myself. The clientelle was mostly middle aged (30-50ish). Of all the bathhouses I visited in Los Angeles, I ended up having the most fun at Flex.
