OKAY EVERYONE! Just in case you scrolled down passed the ads, I wanted to give you a heads up. We are having a BLOW OUT this weekend at Flex Cleveland. This afternoon kicks it off at Man's World right down the street, Johnny is hosting out BBQ from 3PM until Midnight. Wear your Jockstrap and get $10 off your room or locker at Flex. The Crew is back in town from Buffalo and you know what that means... all kinds of shananigans. We are having a Jock Contest at 12:30 at Flex with give-aways and a raffle. There is an "After Party" in the Presidential Suite with Johnny and Brandon. That's just today.

Don't get me started on Sunday's PRE-TEA. Everyone knows how great the Leather Stallion is on Sundays, but for those of us who can't do the late night, we are having a PRE-TEA at Flex. Stay Saturday night and get up and enjoy our pool along with DJ CHRIS on Sunday afternoon from 1pm until we all head to Stallion. There is also a great free BBQ by Chef Jere. After the Stallion, we are all headed back here to try on our beer goggles and have some more fun. Make sure you come by Flex this weekend... it won't be a weekend you'll soon forget.

"Please"... You have no worries comming to Flex. We make an extra effort to make sure that everyone feels welcome at our club. We have people of every shape, size and color come here and we welcome them all. We are all about feeling at home. Please come by and make sure you introduce yourself. Scott

I went FLex Baths in Cleveland in May for the first time and had no idea what to expect....
Everyone was very nice! When you go you will see men of all shapes, SIZES, and Color...
The Staff is very warm and friendly, and Flex Cleveland is the most amazing place, its a lot of fun, you can play with the guys, relax, excercise, surf the net, have food in the cafe, lay by the pool... etc. etc.
Go and give it a try, everyone made ME feel welcome and I had alot of fun when I was there.
The Staff will answer any questions, they were very helpful to me.

I am a chubby younger guy ... Would flex be the right fit for me, or are there really gym bods walking around everywhere?

thanks

OK guys, I can't believe we are in July already. Summer is just buzzing by. Hope you got you jocks out and are ready for a crazy weekend at Flex. Make sure to stop by Man's World too. It is gonna be crazy here. The boys from Freedom Ranch are gonna be back in town and there will be lots going on. A betting man would say we are going to sell out AGAIN!!! So make sure you get here early and get your room. Its gonna be a good weekend. ;p

Great place lots of fun,guys please use the showers,there free

Hey Bengrey. We have two steam rooms at Flex Cleveland. The giant steam room maze is temporarily out of order but we are working to get it up and running as soon as possible. The other is a eucalyptus steam room and it is open except for the two times a day it is closed for cleaning. Our goal is to maintain the cleanest possible facility here.

I am planning on a visit in 2 weeks, I read on a few review blogs that the steam room is always closed/broken, is this correct? I always enjoy a steam room even if playing isn't involved.

I have lived all over the US and Flex Cleveland will set the standard for the new generation of Bath House/Spas

Snap2_it. I hope you are close enough that you can make it this weekend. We do not have a perminently designated G-Hole space as of yet. However, this weekend, the men of CLAW (Cleveland Leather Awareness Week) are hosting another party in "ReFlex" area. This party has all kinds of fun "play areas" that include a G-Hole section. Stop by and check it out. There party is going from 11pm to 5am.

I've been to a few bathhouses before and have enjoyed the wet areas in those (you guys sound like the garden of Eden), but I have really enjoyed the places to play in my visits that had G-hole areas and similar play spaces. Does the Cleveland Flex have any similar areas along with its pools, saunas and steam?

GUMMYBEAR, THE BATHS GO FAR BACK IN TIME (ROMAN) AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A SOCIAL GATHERING PLACE, WHERE YOU CAN TALK, MEET PEOPLE AND HAVE FUN. WE AT FLEX ARE STRIVING TO CREATE A SOCIAL ATMOSPHERE WHERE ALL CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME.
IN EUROPE THE “BATH” IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD WE HOPE WE CAN CREATE THE SAME FEELINGS THROUGH OUT THE USA. REMEMBER A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME………..

CHUCK, PRES/CEO, FLEXBATHS

Flex is a great place to relax, meet people,have fun, reflect and decompress. However, the name "Flex Baths, Hotel and Spa" has a negative. That negative is the word "Baths". Flex is a Gay Resort. The name Flex Resort, Hotel and Spa or Flex Resort and Spa is more appealing and attractive, especially from a marketing perspective. If I wanted a "Bath House" I would go to Club Cleveland and be cheap. Flex is beyond any "Baths". Flex lives up to the classification of Resort so why not call it a Resort. I look for to all the events this weekend.

Hey Bengrey. There are a limited number of hotel rooms available and they are all different sizes. Your best bet is to make a reservation in advance to ensure you get the rate and hotel size you want. Certain weekends definitely book faster than others. You can make a reservation by calling call our front desk at 216-812-3304.

The are a few differences between a spa cabana room and a quiet room. The most obvious would be the size. The quiet rooms are about twice the size and have a full size bed in them. Neither have a private bath, but sometimes the shower bay can be quite fun. All our rooms have a TV and phone. The quiet room area also does not have music or announcements piped in.

Currently, we are no longer offering the 12 hour rental for hotels rooms as we are entering our busy season. Check-in time is after 1:00pm and check out is at 11:00am. However, under certain conditions, these times are somewhat flexible.

We offer in/out passes to all of our guests as well as complete access to the entire facility whether you are renting a locker, cabana, quiet room or hotel.

Make sure you take the time to check out all of the amenities. The gym is amazing. We are continually updating our menu and we now have a full liquor license. This doesn't even begin to cover all we have to offer at Flex Cleveland.

We look forward to seeing you here soon.

hey flex, I have never been , but plan on it soon. Can you get a hotel room just showing up or do u need to reserve one? whats the difference between the cabana and quiet resting rooms, if I do the 12 hour room, can I re rent for another 12? do u have access to all of flex with a hotel room rental? can you leave and return with a hotel room rental? thanks for all the answers.

NiceChest25. Thanks for the kudos. Glad you had a good time. You should definitely try to get back this weekend. It is going to be CRAZY! I can't wait to see what happens next.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say this last weekend was my 1st time ever going to Flex Cleveland. I admit, I expected the worst after going to Flex Columbus, but needless to say I was surprised! The place itself was so nice, and the guys there - fantastic! I had such a good time, and definatly coming back this weekend for some more fun!

Hello all.

I am Johnny Boy. I would just like to say what an incredible job Chuck has done in Cleveland. It's a great facility and the staff is wonderful. They make all feel welcome. The clients are anywhere from 18 to 80 and come in all shapes and colors. It's am amazing place. I started coming to Flex to use the gym and thanks to Flex have done very well. It's more than just a gym. It's a SPA and a place to relax and make friends.

Peace

Hey Chad! We loved having you here at Flex Cleveland. Thanks for posting the comment and thanks for the praises as well as the critique.

I just changed the music to something a little more relaxing for now but if you are ever here and notice it, please let me know.

I will check into the sun tan lotion and the cigarette issue.

We are in the process of changing some items on the menu to offer some more healthy choices. Its a work in process and we are trying to find the perfect balance between healthy and indulgent.

It is difficult to constantly police the quiet area but we will continue to try and improve this situation. If you ever notice the problem, the front desk is a phone call away and we will be more than happy to address the situation.

As for the crystal meth problem in Cleveland, all Flex facilities have a No Drugs Policy. We are doing our best to keep it out of our club.

Thank you again for your comments. All of them. We look forward to you visiting us again soon.

Scott

The flex "RESORT" in cleveland is FANTASTIC. I spent the whole weekend there and never left the premesis. It was reasonably priced and the staff were very nice, accommodating, and sexy!
------------
Things I liked:

Just about EVERYTHING.

No need to leave the site.

Food good!

Men sexy!

People nice! (The staff made me feel like part of a family! very cool!)

Facilities clean!

Plenty of things to do.

Why go to the bars, when you can drink naked at Flex?!

Was there 3 days and never bored.
-----------
Things I had slight problem with:

No escape from the music being pumped at you. Should have a more relaxed music during mornings so you can sleep by the pool naked or have a place where you can go outside and not hear the music (like the roof or pool).

The Crystal Meth problem in Cleveland is way out of hand.

The Quiet Hall wasn't quiet enough. Shouting in the hallway and loud TV's made the quiet hall not very quiet.

Need to sell sun tanning lotion in the vending machines and more variety of ciggarettes in the vending machines.

Need to have everything on the food menu available or removed from the menu.
---------

Overall, I can't wait to go back to Flex Cleveland. I had no idea i could have so much fun in Ohio. Met a lot of really nice people and hope to keep in touch with all of them. I'm already trying to make plans to go back for another weekender VERY SOON.

I CANT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH!

Chad (aka Jon Matthews)

The big weekend is almost here. Lots going on. This Saturday is Cleveland's Gay Pride. (www.clevelandpride.org). Women will be welcome in the Flex Lounge & Cafe after Pride from 9pm until 2:30 via the 26th Street Entrance.

the best bath house i have been to ever, better then Club Clev, and better than any in ther area.
Friday when i had arrived i was shy and in my "shell". Not only did the managers Mike and Scott help me to break free from this but the guys at freedomranch help me to discover who i really want to be.
I just want to give a huge thankyou to Mike the gm here and Scott tthe managers Of this fantastic club!! To all the staff and the Sirs and slaves at Freedomranch thankyou so much for helping discover who i really want to be.

LilBit

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Flex Baths is a wonderful place to relax and spend time! SCOTT is an awesome manager and is one creative hard working man! Cant wait to get him in my own dungeon to see just how hard he really is :-)

The opportunity to offer demos and classes within the BDSM mindset is an awesome chance to help novices and like minded guys grow in knowledge, safety, and experience.

I sincerely hope that the warehouse floor can become the regular dungeon space for the FREEDOM ACADEMY classes. 6 days; 1 weekend a month for 3 months complete with a graduation. We will have monitored play sessions and will play with anyone at what level they are accustomed.

FOR those that are not used to the BDSM leather world.. do not be afraid!! but be respectful... giggling, and screaming and being a drama queen while a scene/demo is going on is not proper etiquette...it's rude... walk away. Fnd a time to talk to us 1:1 and tell us why it was hard for you to watch or what it is that you want to understand.

I personally welcome anyone who has been hiding their feelings, or are curious about BDSM to talk to us... I had noone years ago to talk to and have pledged myself to helping others enjoy safe, sane consensual hot sex within the BDSM leather scene. try it.. you might really groove on it!

Thank you Mike,Scott,Jason and all the staff for your help,support and hospitality. And thank you Chuck for opening and locating Flex in Cleveland. The new facility is the place in Cleveland.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be spinning poolside June 21st after pride starting at 9PM. It should be a lot of fun and I hope to have a couple surprises for you throughout the night. Liquor, beer and food will be available for purchase as always. Hope to see you there!!

Hey again! Cleveland Pride is having a fundraiser this saturday. Cut and paste to get to the link. Manicures, Pedicures and Martinis, Oh My!!!

Hey Everyone. Thanks for all the
great comments. Keep'em coming and keep coming back to both Flex Cleveland and www.flexbaths.com. Let us know what you think, good, bad or indifferent. We love hearing from you.

Hello all this is Maverick,
I hope you enjoyed the newly opened bar, and i hope the after hours and the Sunday poolside BBQ was as much of a riot for you as it was for me. I look forward to seeing you this weekend for some more fun!

Maverick

Hey guys! I just want to thank everyone from Freedom Ville USA.. CJ,Mav,Lilpup & Lilbit. What a bar and what a surprise to Flex Cleveland. Your assistance and persistance to make Flex Cleveland the Gay Meca of the Northcoast is awesome. That is my opinion. I see growth every week and I have only been around for 3 weeks. But this place with your help, Flex Management and Flex staffers, it is rejuvinating the Cleveland Gay Community to be the place to work, live and have fun.

Hello everyone! The times we are down at FLEX our goal is to make everyone feel part of what is going on! I THINK WE HAVE DONE THAT WELL!!!! I am so glad so many had fun. Please remember that without the staff at Flex and the owners dream this would not be possible. We at Freedom Ranch just want to invite all you to enjoy the new and old activities at FLEX. Remember this is not just a bath house. The new Bar up stair is sure to be fun for one and all and the best part is if you Drink you don't have to DRIVE. Please remember that.

A special NOTE to the Staff and owner at FLEX. Thanks for having us come down. We enjoy it and look forward to the next visit.
Mike you are such a great friend to know. You finished me off again. BTW I did get the bottle!!! Payback TIME!!!!!
Scott, I guess you will think twice the next time you throw a man in a Wheel Chair in the POOL!!! A broken foot is one heck of a penalty!! HE HE!!! I know we all had a great time! Hope you feel better soon!

Sunday 6/8/08, poolside BBQ was awsome! Everyone and anyone who wanted to participate, have fun, swim and eat did. Whether you were 21 or 85, you were welcome to participate. In fact, because there were no more chairs poolside, we were bringing chairs from upper deck to join in all the fun. Mike, Scott, Jason and the entire staff work there butts off so everyone has a great time.
I observed only one person who appeared to be a sourpuss and when asked if he would like something to eat or drink, it was a negative response... so we left him alone to chat on his cell phone. Cudos to everyone at Flex, it is the place to be in Cleveland.

soccerlegs,

If you rent a room, then you can change inside the room and there is no need to rent a locker. Looking forward to your visit.

Hey Scott, hope all is going well with your foot! Let me know the outcome of your hospital visit gimpy!
Missing you guys already!
Oh yeah, hi Mike and thanks again for another kick ass weekend!

pup

Gotta say that there is never a dull moment at Flex Cleveland when I am there!
Special thanks to the staff there, they make you feel like you have been coming there for years.
The variety of events that they try to provide not only caters to the different interests but gives everyone an opportunity to explore new horizons.
Awesome time inside and outside the grounds!

M6GmSaabBoi. Sorry for the delay in responding to your question as I have been out of town. The Blackout Nights happen every four weeks. Our last one was on May 9th which means our next will be on June 6th. Master Maverick who performs the B&D Demo's is here on different dates as well. If you check our Cleveland Events Calendar, it will provide you with necessary information. Thanks.

showme2127. We are working to get our large steam room open as soon as possible. As of now, there is no specific time line set. Part of this process is out of our control but we are doing our best to expidite the situation. Sorry I can't be more specific at this time. As soon as we know, more I will post information.

Hey Kevin. Flex Cleveland is the only facility I have ever been to so that is my frame of reference. You can check out our other Flex facilities on this web site. Many of our guests have told me that we are the largest and nicest facility in the country. We are not just a bath house but a hotel and spa as well. We have many amenities to offer: indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, two dry saunas, a eucalyptus steam room, a state of the art gym, 20-man jacuzzi and much, much more. Our customer base varies in age from 18 to 80 and is literally a fair mix across the board. We do our best to make sure everyone is comfortable here. Some people come just to work out, others to sun bathe, and many for a little fun. We also have Flex Cafe which serves some great food and a full liquor license therefore, a great one-stop destination. I hope this helps you out and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Hey, Everyone. Ive never been to FLEX before nor a bathhouse for that matter. Could someone tell me what it is like? I plan on going soon.
