Fantastic experience: 5 stars hand down. Old School gym clanging and banging weights. The Owner Mark has been training me for 2 yrs. I went from 175 to 206lb. Huge muscle gains. Mark Has been working with my injuries (Motorcycle Accident) to get me back to 100%. I’m in the best shape of my life . His training style is unmatched by anybody in Town. I can confidently say that I’m being trained by a Pro Body Builder & he has his Card to Prove It. Thanks Mark

Fantastic experience: A small, quaint gym. Lost among the downtown buildings. Its been years since i came here at 14. It's been here forever and yet still thrives. Marc is a great and caring man who loves health and the ability to share it with others. They have all you will need and doesn't have that regular gym vibe

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience! In town for the day and thought I’d get a lift on. Looked and found Strength and Health. Read the reviews. No matter how great the reviews were it still didn’t do the gym justice. If you want a Westside vibe, blue collar, no holds barred gym for hardcore working out this is the place.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Since moving to Bakersfield CA 7 years ago I've been to many gyms and I always find my way back to this one. It has an old school grit iron feel to it that pushes you to work at your max

Ramon Becerra 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in Bakersfield. Private gyms are the best. You don’t have to worry about keeping your bag in the locker. Never too crowded. Great equipment everything you need. As a competitive body builder I want to be able to work out out with my shirt off and get a pump. Mark the owner understands and is all for it. Mark is a really good dude and we’re lucky to have such a great gym like that in Bakersfield.

superior87 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here since 2005 and I honestly love this place. It has everything you need to get the results you want. Everyone is respectful. When I have gone to other more corporate gyms. I have had my belongings stollen from my lockers but here I can leave my things in a cubbyhole they have for your belongings and have the peace of mind that no one will steal from me. No it does not have a sauna, steam room or a jacuzzi. What it does have is great equipment and humble people that provide a positive atmosphere. I couldn't ask for more.
