Authorities have located a sex offender who escaped government custody while at a gym in Ipswich, west of Brisbane.

Denzel Dynevor, 25, was with Forensic Disability Services officers at a gym in Eastern Heights when he ran out an emergency exit at about 11:20 on Tuesday morning.

Police issued an appeal for assistance on Wednesday afternoon, after the man had not been seen since leaving the gym.

Members of the public were asked not to approach the man.

Dynevor was described as a First Nations man about 160 centimetres tall with brown eyes and dark brown hair.

He was last seen wearing a black singlet, blue shorts and black shoes.

Officers this morning confirmed the man had been located and thanked the community for their help.
