Best Gyms In Bakersfield

Here is our list of the best gyms in Bakersfield for working out:

24 Hour Fitness recently closed but you can still find a 24 hour gym in Bakersfield at Planet Fitness. Some of the above have multiple locations but we tried to limit them to one in town and one gym in Delano so that the list didn’t get annoying with multiple listings of the same type of place.

Strength & Health is a good place to go if you are really into weightlifting, while all of the above should be able to handle any cardio needs. If you want a local gym with a pool in your area the top four on the list all have one, and In Shape has a basketball court if that is what you are looking for.

Spinning & Indoor Cycling Classes

Rush Cycle located at 2765 Calloway Dr #104 would have to get our nod for the best spinning classes in your area. Of course you can also find indoor cycling classes at many of the best gyms in Bakersfield.

Poise Pilates is also good but we chose to include them in our Barre section. If you are after any specific pose or technique follows those links until you end up on the right studio for you.

As much as we would like to give more detail when there are so many poses including vinyasa, hot, bikram hatha flow, ashtanga, power and many more it is impossible for us to break it all down.
