FLEX Spas

times have changed

gay men no longer depend on bathhouses and adult video parlors to hook up. with the decrease in business you would think bath owners would dedicate more time and energy to providing a better experience for customers. flex isnt the worst but its not the best. go to the hollywood spa.

half and half

Nice place, but not what I expected. Hot tub and pool are nice and maintained. For a Wednesday night, not much going on. Mostly older guys.

Sad place

An overwhelming number of visitors note that if you like expensive rates for no service and often curtailed facilities, Flex is for you. Flex has been going downhill for years and the flow of patrons has slowed to a trickle for good reason. The help is surly, vindictive, petulant and cliquish. Get the picture? Dont ask questions or expect the amenities to actually be operational. Your task is to pay and try to withstand the bad attitudes and paranoid accusations even the most respectful customer is sure to receive from the help. Its a shame to have to set all this down, but its the truth and patrons need to be forewarned. Surely this business could treat its few remaining customers better. One runs into no end of former patrons, and its easy to get horror stories about Flex from them.

While Flex LA has been in business for some time and has its share of bumps and bruises, it's a place where anyone, any shape, size or age can come and feel at home. In fact, all of the bathhouses in LA have their strengths and weaknesses. Criticism of the place, it staff and management, are a complete 180 of my own personal experience. and keep in mind, flex has hundreds of men each day. it would be great if those men took pride in the ability to have the establishment in LA, pitching in and causing less dirt and damage. We are gay men. Your attitude is to force gay or straight businesses our of business is lunacy. well, this is our neighborhood, lost jobs and businesses hurt us all. why don't you try and be a part of the solution, otherwise, please do us all a favor and go back to the straight world.

STAY AWAY IF YOU'RE SMART

Unless you don't mind filthy rooms, nasty bathrooms topped off with a rude, indignant, mean, unhelpful staff. I went last night for the first time in many years and I don't think the rooms have been cleaned since. The dirt, lube and you know what on the all the wooden areas have formed a new substance which is disgusting. I guess some things NEVER change and Flex is a perfect example. The staff talk and treat you like beggars off the street with a hand out. The room I got had a different TV than years ago that you had to touch but not knowing that I went to the desk. BIG MISTAKE. They let me know that I was bothering them for even asking, wouldn't come to the window with the tiny hole I was trying to listen through and just stood on the other side of their "safe" room with their hands crossed looking at me like I was crazy. It's obvious by seeing that ALL the staff are the same that it's acceptable behavior and customer service is not allowed by it's employees. Very surprising actually since they certainly weren't busy enough to warrant bad behavior from all the employees and a dirty, nasty environment. All I can say is if the rooms which are easy to clean I can only imagine what things are growing in the spa, bathrooms and common areas. We have to as Gay men, not accept but force out businesses (gay or straight) that treat us like second class citizens. Gay men have evolved, we can actually enjoy a spa envirement and have sex in clean places.
