National Academy of Strength and Power (NASPOWER)

Negative experience: Wife and I signed up yesterday (August 12th). We went to work out for the first time this morning (August 13th). The lights were not on and we had to walk around a few minutes before we could find the light switches in the dark. Once we got the lights on. We noticed that it was actually cooler outside than it was inside. Far too warm for me to be able to work out without passing out from the heat. None of the fans were on. I turned the light switches back off and we left without working out. I just got off the phone canceling our membership. We spent $120 for zero work outs and being a gym member for less than 24 hours.

Fantastic experience: This place is a Bakersfield treasure for people who want to lift. I don't hold a full time membership here anymore because I live way on the other side of town, but I get day passes here regularly to workout with friends that have memberships. From the moment you walk in you'll recognize something immediately: this gym is everything that commercial gyms are not. It is extremely well stocked and well organized (weights are always put away!). The cleaning towels are plentiful, high quality, and replaced regularly. There is a real vision about the place that makes it clear the owners actually care about the gym's usability (I love the labeled cable attachment wall). The gym culture is unmatched. I'm a hobbyist bodybuilder so once upon a time I was worried I'd be out of place, but I have been welcomed time and time again by the friendliest men and women lifters in town. Whether you're a powerlifter, Olympic lifter, bodybuilder, or anyone else who wants to work on themselves, you will have a place here and I can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: One of the few places I look forward to whenever I’m in Bakersfield. The gym has everything for weightlifting and accomplishimg your fitness goals. Unlike commercial gyms, they are pretty welcoming of all people wand have an unbeatable gym access… just make sure to rerack your weights and have a spotter on the squat rack. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: I've had a pleasant experience here. Staff is friendly and is also knowledgeable about working out. The owner and trainers have assisted me in understanding some of their specialized equipment. I always recommend this gym to everyone I know. Also, if you're into lifting competitions, this is definitely the place for you as they coach and host competitions there at the facility from time to time. Big thumbs up

Fantastic experience: Best gym in bakersfield

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility, knowledgeable staff. Plenty of equipment, benches, platforms, and racks. They have comp plates and specialty bars. 24 hour access. No other training facility comes close!

Fantastic experience: Been working out at NAZ for 2 years now won't go anywhere else, great staff and great people

Fantastic experience: Very quality gym, allows their members 24 hour access so as long as you respect the environment and equipment, which is fair because they're trusting you to go in without much supervision. They really build a community, which is unfortunate because I only ever go at night whenever I get off of work.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE working out at this gym!!!! It's an extremely open environment, lots of weights and equipment. There is something for everyone here, strongman, powerlifting, oly lifting, there are very knowledgeable coach's, the owners are regular down to earth people that care about the people that come to there gym and make every effort to keep a positive non judgmental atmosphere. I couldn't tell you if I wanted to, who the owners or trainers were at the commercial gym I used to go to.
