Crossfit Rig Town

Gym

👍👍 I’m three weeks into my fitness journey and this gym, in my opinion, is top tier. The coaches are very helpful and thorough, showing you how every move should be done. They push you to keep moving throughout the class and help you obtain goals you didn’t even know you were trying to reach. Do yourse...

JT Taekwondo/karate kickboxing and fitness

Martial arts school

👍👍 My boys just started here, and love it! Jesus gave them the opportunity to come in, and see how the class is before making the commitment to join. He is a great instructor with patience, and he takes his time with each student. I’m glad I chose him to instruct my boys. They love it at JT Taekwondo!...

Big Joe's Tacos

Restaurant

👍👍 Easily one of my favorite places to go in Bakersfield when I'm hanging out. I gave them a shot and they nailed it with the Quesabirrias, WAY better than Taco Bell's try a few months ago. One place I'm happy to leave a tip before I even unwrap the food. (Hunger hack: Order two or more of the Quesab...

Victory Boxing Studios

Boxing gym

👍👍 This has to be my 4th fitness camp at this studio & let me say, when I first started I was unmotivated & so unfit. I had no idea where to start. I am 5’6 and was hitting 230lbs. After months of working with Coach Karla and Oscar I am now down to 207lbs. They don’t just push you physically but mental...

Yoga studio

👍👍 I've been with the Haven since it opened. I've been with Kat and many of the other trainers even before. This is, by far, the best place to train!
