I like to pick things up and put them down at this place.Its a great 3 story facility. The cardio machines are on the bottom floor with some boxing bags and a water fountain. The facility is wheelchair accessible.The middle floor has all the free weights and weigh machines. And there are about 200 different machines on this floor. If you cant find what you need here then you dont belong in a gym.Teddy Zane is the owner and he is an awesome dude,He is very helpful person if you are a novice lifter. And he doesnt tolerate any bs in his gym such as leaving weights lying around.They constantly update the machines and move more in. They arent all brand new but none of them are in bad condition whatsoever.The top floor is a cardio boxing class that they offer.10/10 love when I get to come to this gym. It is by far one of the best gyms I have visited in Alabama.
Attempted to visit Jan. 17, 2021, and it’s closed—completely out of business and vacant.
Very shady and unprofessional business/owner. They change the code with no way to tell people. They say 24/7 gym but turn the AC off at night (even in the summer). Moved to a different town and still charged me for the gym that is no longer even open. Phone number disconnected. Look up the owner on Facebook. He’s a COVID-19 denialist who only cares about his bottom line. They had to do a cease and desist order from a judge to get him to shut down during the city ordinance. He recently posted “fake news” on his fb page claiming the new Crunch fitness gym will charge $100/month.... they will charge $9.95.... so way better equipment for less than 1/3 of his price.
This is the best gym in the Birmingham area hands down. 3 floors of up to date equipment, plenty of free weights, and its a clean facility! Training is offered for an extra fee, and the owner is extremely knowledgeable and people friendly.
We were staying at a local hotel and were told we could utilize a gym down the street to workout at. Being on the road traveling full time for business, we really didn’t feel like driving 20-30 minutes to the nearest Anytime Fitness to use our membership.Glad we came in. Upon entry, it was slightly confusing so we wandered around wondering where the actual gym equipment was.You see, the floor level had all the cardio equipment and some machines with punching bags.Upstairs though, is a whole different world. Level 2 is an old school style gym with as many free weights and racks one can imagine. The equipment is well-used and all the bodybuilding memorabilia makes you feel like you’re in iron heaven. If only a gym like this existed in Gatesville, Texas where we call home. Next trip through Alabama, either later this year or in 2021, this will be a must-visit stop again—even if we don’t have any scheduled clients in Birmingham. =)
Flex fitness has a great program. Stan does a great conditioning and boxing program. I am in the best shape of my life. The equipment is great. I would recommend this gym to anyone that wants a great workout
Great place to work out with all kinds of equipment. Been working with Jason, he is an awesome boxing coach he will work with you and help you reach your goals I recommend flex and boxing to everyone,and I have already lost 40 pounds in a month and a half. Teddy Zane is also a real stand up guy always looking to make things better.
Please dont join this gym. They wont tell you youre on a 12month contract and when you decide to cancel it you have to pay out your contact or they will put it on your credit. Its so many hidden fees.They use a company named affiliated acceptance. Its not worth it. Its very cold and the carpet is dirty. Some machines doesnt work. Please dont join this gym you will regret it find another gym. And Mic is not my boyfriend and he paid for the hole the next time he got paid. He bought you the $100 remember. You was all cool when you got that $100. And if my review was false you wouldnt have responded. Im not the only one who wrote a 1 star review on yall. Even on the BBB website yall reviews are terrible.
Amazing variety of equipment!! Between Teddy and Chris, the training they have set up is fantastic!! Superior knowledge of weight loss tips and workouts that fit my weight loss needs!! Well on my way to where I need and want to be!! Great job guys!!!
From the day I walked in the door at Flex Fitness I’ve been amazed at the facility. Everything that I used to have to pay 3 or 4 different facilities to get I now have access to under one roof. The staff is awesome and as accomadating with their customer service as any business I’ve ever stepped foot into.
I live an hour away but it is worth the drive! Teddy knows his stuff and Chris is awesome to talk to. This place is LOADED with plenty of free weights, machines, and cardio equipment! Would HIGHLY recommend.
I had a billing issue. But teddy and his staff were helpful in resolving the issue. All that to say i recommend flex fitness for their professionalism and willingness to help. Thank you.
I like to pick stuff up and then put it down and Flex had more stuff for me to pick up than any other gym around. The staff is always nice, Teddy the owner is a good guy, and they play real music overhead.Also their trainers are real trainers, not just gym employees. I would recommend Flex Fitness to anyone looking to change their lifestyle or just get help w diet and general fitness.I would also recommend putting ur weights up when u finish ur set
One of the best fitness, Ive ever been a part.Stan do a Good job with the boxing and cross fit programs. More than enough weights to work with. Refer this gym to anybody.
This gym is caters to body builders and power lifters. However, even if thats not what you are looking for you can get a good workout. The gym lacks some amenities other gyms offer such as larger lockers rooms, massage machines, multiple shower stalls. But as far a machines, equipment and actual weights it covers the all the needs and offers rates based on the equipment you want access to ranging from $10.00 to $45.00
Great and helpful gym. This place meets all of my strength training, boxing, and conditioning needs. The other gym goers are good about offering weight lifting tips without crowding your space. I have learned a lot here! Ask for Stan- he is great and fun to work with.
I cancelled my plan. They still charged me two months after the three months you pay to cancel. They said they were going to put the money back in my account and they never did. When I call the phone it either doesnt work or they dont answer. I would give a zero review if I could.
I started training at Flex two years ago and it is without a doubt the best gym I’ve ever stepped foot into. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and has help me shatter my fitness goals, and set new ones!
Insane gym!!! Nice equipment and amazing staff!! They know what you need to reach your goals and tell you how to reach them! I would recommend everyone to go the Flex!!
Stan is an amazing trainer! Very easy to work with and I am confident Ill be ready to be the newest avenger by Halloween.
I have been a member on and off here for the past 4 years or so. I cancelled my first membership after my year was up because I moved back home, I had no problems the first time. I then reopened my membership again when I moved back to Irondale in August 2017. I have recently moved back home again and cancelled my membership again because its too far of a drive. I had some issues with my pregnancy, and could not use my membership. A medical hold was put on my account for 2 months which I appreciated while I was in the hospital and back and forth with my daughter in the NICU, so I obviously had no time or need for a gym right now. This was in April. I understood that I was obligated to a year with the membership. My year was up in August 2018. I called and spoke with Chris, cancelled my membership, I was told to send an email explaining why I needed to cancel my membership and what I wanted to do. I thought everything was good and my membership was cancelled because that is what I was told over the phone. I have since been charged numerous times and my account has gone into overdraft because of this. I have tried to contact this place numerous times to talk with them about this, but I can NEVER get an answer. I have called from both my cell, and work phone. I finally gave up and called my bank. Thankfully, they reimbursed my overdraft charges and refunded the money for this. I checked today and there is yet another charge for this, AND another overdraft fee. Thanks to this, I got turned down for a loan that I needed for college due to having overdraft in my account from a membership that I was told was cancelled. I am not happy at all and I hope this place fixes their communication issues and gets some better customer support, so this does not happen to anyone else. I have always recommended Flex Fitness, because it was one of the nicest, cleanest, well kept gyms that I have been to. I dont know what else to do, maybe one day I can get them on the phone to talk to them about my issues.
Flex is by far the best gym in the state,I have worked out at a lot of gyms and never have I been in a gym where there is no egos and everyone has the same goal and helps and motivates you to be your best, if your a body builder, power lifter or just wanting to lose weight and get in shape Flex Fitness is the gym to go to
Been a member for some time,best jym in Birmingham, recently joined boxing,my trainer Stan great guy,very motivating and gives each student the personal attention and training to meet their goals.join this jym! Become a flex model💪🥊😎
Best gym in Birmingham with the biggest selection of equipment! Thanks Teddy!
Sweet gym! Nothing like a classic old school heavy iron gym. Love it!
Flex fitness has the best equipment in Birmingham if you are looking to powerlift, bodybuild or just get in shape.
Flex is the most versatile and amazing gyms I have ever worked out in. The name says it all. 3 full levels of flexibility. Level 1 for cardio and iso machines along with tanning beds, level 2 for the serious muscle building experience, and my personal favorite, level 3 - the warrior room for serious body building and USPA powerlifting. Teddy the owner is one of the coolest gym owners I have ever met. He is super knowledgeable and more than willing to help anyone achieve their goals. If you want to seriously change your life then Flex is defiantly the gym for you!!
Best gym in Birmingham,they changed my health from negative to positive
There is so much variety and with three floors of equipment you are sure to have a lot available.
Place started out good. But the boxing coach became very flaky and would ask you to loan him money but then forget to pay you back.
If a rugged, tough, hardcore gym is what youre looking for, this is the place
Stay away from this gym and for sure do not hire a trainer it is all a scam the trainer I hired screwed me at the start but I was nice to give him another chance and he gave me a deal for 3 months of training well that trainer is not there anymore and I am just screwedSTAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS GYMUPDATE 9/5/18 HAVE NOT BEEN TO THIS GYM IN 1 YEAR AS I WAS TOLD MY MEMBERSHIP WAS TERMINATED DUE TO ALL THE PROBLEMS AND BAD REVIEW I GAVE BUT NOW I HAVE A CHARGE FROM FLEX FITNESS 39.99 ON MY ACCOUNTAGAIN I URGE YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS GYM NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND SCAMS
Ive been a member at this gym for years and I still love it.
Great place to get the work done!
Great variety of equipment and membership rates.
Edit: Teddy reached out to me and despite my issue Id like it to be known that I dont harbor any personal ill will towards him. In all my interactions with Teddy hes always been a chill guy. I still hope the front desk issues get resolved; however, now that I have his cell phone number Ill just harangue him personally! :)I think its comical that a business never answers their phone and consistently has a full voicemail inbox. I have literally tried calling these people no short of 3 dozen times over a one month period. They must care very little about selling memberships and maintaining customer satisfaction. All I want to know is what my freaking door code is because you guys keep changing it every other month. Im not available to leisurely swing by during your business hours - not that it matters because no one is ever at the desk!
Best gym in Birmingham
Great gym with great personal trainers
Great gym, great people, great time.
3 levels for lots of different workouts
Endless equipment 30,000 Square Feet. Similar gyms include Quads Gym Chicago, Bevs Powerhouse Newark, Golds Gym California
I wouldn’t join, because they don’t answer the phone and are too aggressive about getting you to join!
Guy at the desk gave me a tour. 3 stories. Lots of equipment. I guess its an okay deal. No cancel fees is a major major plus
Whats not to love at 25 bucks a month for two floors full of weights and treadmills?
This place is really open 24/7
The comorodery
Awesome facility
Loved it
Horrible
