I never thought I'd be "that person". You know the kind, she works out every day and she actually likes it. But here I am, Ms. Ruthy coming in 7 days a week, not to brag , but sometimes I'm working out even twice a day!! Cuz I love it that much. Look I only have good things to say about FLX Fitclub. The instructors are so friendly, enthusiastic and very helpful. Everyone I have met in the classes have been so kind and welcoming. The gym itself is always really clean, organized and everything is wiped down after it has been used. So far I haven't taken a class that I didn't like. I feel like there are a lot of different options, depending on what your looking for. I really enjoy their cycling classes. Body pump is a must. I've felt comfortable enough to try things that I have never tried before like Barre, it was definitely harder then it looks. Then Sh'Bam was something I'd never thought I'd like and It is SO much fun. The class goes by so quickly. I love the Bodyflow and core classes on Fridays. It's a Great workout to do back to back, You feel very zen and sweaty. I have yet to try BodyCombat, BodyAttack and Grit. Not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous, but I'll report back and let you know what I think. Look...if you're looking for a clean gym with an array of great classes, amazing instructors and a fun crew of people to work out with. FLX is for you. Just come and take the 3 classes, to try it out. I bet you'll love it! Anyways thank you FLX family for starting me on my journey to getting healthy! read more

See all

I love all of the classes that I have taken at FLX - virtual Body Pump, virtual Body Step, outdoor Grit, outdoor Body Attack and all of the in-person classes in the before times, too. The instructors are all fun and funny, and although they have lots of long standing relationships, it doesn't feel clique-y. I highly recommend FLX Fitclub! read more

I would give FLX Fitclub a 10 out of 10 if I could! The instructors are amazing and provide a welcoming, friendly, and inclusive environment. For anyone who is a gym regular, someone wanting to try out something new, or if you've never gotten the workout fever before, this is a great place to get started or improve your performance - and have the best fun while you're doing it! They offer all of the best LesMills programs, so there's always a great variety of classes to try - try them all! read more

FLX is a refreshing addition to the fitness scene in Ithaca! This "boutique gym" is unique because it's group fitness classes only, namely mostly Les Mills brand classes. If you're the type of person that needs accountability to work out, you need to try group fitness classes! FLX offers Les Mills' take on spinning, step, mixed martial arts, weight lifting, tai chi/Pilates fusion etc. Pros: -no enrollment fees! -reserve your spot in class using the Zen app, no more rushing to get a spot only to be disappointed -state of the art bikes, weights etc -an unlimited class pass/pay per class/or class bundle options -clean facilities that are designed for fitness (rubber floors reduce impact on joints, enough mirrors so everyone can check their form) -easy, free parking!!!! -temperature controlled with actual adequate AC and oscillating fans so you're not over heated or over cooled (love this!!!) -instructors that are passionate, friendly and varied in their styles, some will be peppy, competitive, strict all in the best way to motivate you! Everyone is more than willing to help you with any questions etc -positive environment for all ages, genders, fitness levels! Cons: -no showers but there are changing rooms Readers Digest Version: FLX is a must to try! The classes and your classmates will keep you coming back and stay motivated towards achieving your goal. Female and locally owned, there's so much to love! Give this place a try with their $15 pass for 3 classes! read more

This is by far the best gym I've worked out at in Ithaca. It's only classes and they have basically al the Les Mills classes - Body Pump, Body Flow, RPM, Body Attack, Body Combat etc. What really sets FLX apart is the level of customer service and the passion and knowledge of all the instructors there. They really love what they do and it shows - it makes working out way more pleasant. It's a super comfortable and welcoming environment. I went to classes almost everyday there this summer and never had a bad work out. I particularly love Body Pump and RPM, but that's a personal preference and I think all the classes are great. It's reasonably priced ($75 for unlimited monthly classes is frankly a steal) and they let you reserve spots in the class online in advance or on their app which is great for planning purposes. They have a first timers offer for three classes for $15, which I did to get a feel for the gym. They also have many many classes a day and their timing of classes makes a lot of sense for people's schedules. I could go to a 6:00 am class or a 5:30 pm class on any given day, or both. I was only in Ithaca for the summer and I'm hopeful I can find a gym I like half as much when I love. read more

I was never a regular gym-goer or someone who considered themselves to be athletic. However, that all changed thanks to FLX! Now, going to the gym is regularly the best part of my day and something I look forward to. The community at FLX is incredible! It is such a supportive environment and the instructors really value getting to know each member. The first class I attended, the instructor greeted me personally by name! I feel stronger after each class I complete. I would recommend FLX to anyone and everyone! Come support this awesome local gym run and own by WOMEN! read more

Whether you are new to the gym or just looking for a way to change up your workout regimen, FLX Fitclub is a must-try! The beginner trial pass deal is a low-commitment way to ease in, and the flexible class pass options are great to fit your needs once you're hooked -- and you will be hooked. From the friendly, amazing staff to the awesome classes and soundtracks, no workout is ever NOT fun! Best of all is the motivation you get from being part of a group that is there to grow fitter together. read more

This is the first time I've been excited about working out since I played sports in college. Highly recommend!

I used to cycle pretty frequently back in California and I decided to give their cycle class a try. First thing I noticed was that they do not provide bike shoes. They have these things you can put your foot in, but the performance of cycling without cycling shoes is just not great. Unlike all the other cycling class, there was no weights portion. I just didn't feel like it was strenuous enough. The owner was really friendly, but I probably wouldn't get a membership here. I didn't get a chance to try their other classes, but maybe their other classes are better. read more

The classes seem divided in focus where you have to choose to work only on strength or only cardio or only legs. It doesn't give a well-rounded out even intense workout. The Trip is a novel cycling class but doesn't push you or engage any arms like other cycling classes I've been to. It is a nice class for retired people who want to keep moving and feel hip, but was not much of a workout. The oscillating fans are nice in theory, but blew sideways instead of straight on, meaning odors from others are blown directly into you and can make the class unpleasant. The instructors were friendly and parking is easy. The app is easy to sign up for classes and see how many spots are available and plan for your week, but there is a charge if you don't cancel from a class more than 3 hours from start time, so if things come up or you're not in the mood to go, you pay for it. It is nice they're flexible with you being able to pay by the class so if you want only an occasional class, you're not trapped paying a monthly fee, but I didn't feel like I got enough of a workout here. read more

I've attended Les Mills classes at gyms around the world-- but no gym pulls it off as nicely as FLX. They are custom designed for Les Mills classes, have new equipment, are very clean, and have a very friendly vibe. Best Les Mills gym ever. read more

This is an AMAZING place!!! The staff is so friendly, they go around to meet everyone before the class starts and once you go a few times, the instructor knows you by name. The classes are amazing, I always come out sweating and in a great mood. Highly recommend! read more

It's been two years since I've been to FLX, but I always think about it and talk about it, so I wanted to write a review in case it can encourage anyone to try a class here. I started coming to classes thinking it would be something I was forcing myself to do for my own health, but it ended up being my favorite part of every day. I was already a huge fan of spin classes, but The Trip was, and is, the best spin class ever created. I tell everyone about it any chance I get. I literally wish I still lived in Ithaca just to go to those classes. I have a Peloton now and it's just nowhere near as enjoyable. I also loved Body Pump even though I was getting my butt kicked every class. It got me into weight lifting, but I loved the energy of doing it with a group. I hope FLX is doing well despite the pandemic, and I would encourage any (and every!) one to at least try a class here. You'll be hooked. read more

Where do I even start?! From the moment I walk into FLX Fitclub, I feel like I'm walking into a community. I'm always greeted with a smile by Chantelle at the front desk as she checks me in for the class. I love how the instructors know people by name, and even make sure to motivate members by name during class. They motivate me to bike faster, jump higher, and even try a burpee or two! I feel like I accomplish things at FLX that I didn't know I was capable of! The club has nice locker rooms and showers, and a lounge to hang out in before and after class. FLX Fitclub is one of my favorite places, and I can't wait to go back soon! read more

This gym is a place to call home. The instructors are professional and encouraging. The members are cheerful and have developed a strong sense of community in a short period of time! I appreciate the super workout and the friendly smiles! Thanks for opening such a welcoming place. read more

It occurred to me that I've never written a Yelp review for FLX Fitclub, and I should! My entire life, I thought I wasn't a "gym person," but apparently that's just because I had never been to a gym like FLX before. They hold group fitness classes (Les Mills), and the instructors are friendly, funny, helpful, and encouraging. Honestly, I never thought I'd be excited to work out in public, let alone in a class setting, but the people behind FLX Fitclub somehow managed to create a really special place where people feel comfortable and inspired to push themselves--and have fun! read more

I've tried several gyms and workout experiences in Ithaca (and elsewhere) and FLX Fitclub is my favorite, hands down. The instructors are terrific--knowledgeable, enthusiastic, supportive, accessible-- and the classes are fun and challenging. Starting an exercise program can be intimidating but FLX Fitclub is so welcoming that I've been able to try things that I might otherwise have avoided. There's great variety in the classes; you'll find something for everyone, regardless of fitness level. FLX Fitclub has helped me get in shape after several years of only intermittent exercise and I've observed the same in other members. The fee structure is reasonable, the facilities are clean and comfortable, and the equipment is up-to-date and safe. read more

This "fitness" club only offers limited program capability. Les Mills is a high-intensity program well documented to cause or result in injuries not only to the participants but also to the instructors. In addition, the club was not very welcoming or helpful to new people or people new to the type of programs they offer. It is my understanding that Les MIlls has very few qualifications for instructors. While other local clubs require their trainers to be certified, pretty much any person, not in any way qualified to provide fitness training, can teach these classes. Seems risky to me, since the people teaching do not have the knowledge to ensure participates are performing the movements safely. The place is not in the best part of town. Lighting in the parking lot is limited. Classes are limited in size because the place is overall small compared to other gyms nearby that offer a full gym experience for the same or less money. read more
