Also, they blast commercial radio which means stupid loud commercials which definitely kills the chill vibe. Good Lord, almost any other pool either plays nothing (peaceful), or commercial free streaming. Winter maintenance is annual and rather excessively long. Love having a facility but it's be great to address these issues.

They also have a kiddie pool for the little ones all gated in. Plenty of lounge chairs and tables. I saw a snack bar but it wasn't open. Also has life guards on duty. My son had a great time! This is not a year round pool, I think it's only open the summer months. The only negative is the tiles around the edge of the pool have a dirty film so that needs to be cleaned.

The pool is large and clean - the absolute priority when it comes to pools! But the best part is that it's nicely landscaped with plenty of seating areas and picnic spots. It's very much like a resort pool. I used to come here frequently with friends and it was never crowded. Most of the patrons were elderly couples (swimming in the mornings) or young family's during the day. No riff-raff or rowdy folks. There is security here often, which is nice. It keeps things under control. No alcohol or glass is allowed. So follow the rules and enjoy the pool and spa!

I gave this place five stars, as I have been there many times, and it just so happens that my…read morefamily donated the funds in order to build this facility to make a beautiful place for Bakersfield. I think it's great because it gets so hot in Bakersfield in the summer time and it's a great family place for everyone. With the swimming pools and the waterslides, it's just a blast to be there. I hope everybody's enjoying it. Also there is the skating rink right next door and around the corner a movie theater, so there is so much to do. Love it and highly recommend it.

This In-Shape has been my Bakersfield home gym since the early 2010's and has always given a good…read moregym experience . I love all the recovery options offered at this location. The steam room is one of my favorite amenities, and I really appreciate how good of a job the staff does at maintaining the cleanliness of the steam room. I've also become a fan of the cryolounge recently. It's a great and comfortable way to get some cold therapy. I'll even do some remote work on my phone after my work out while chilling on one of their cryolounges. Their staff is very kind and attentive. They always have a welcoming smile and are sure to say bye on the way out. They're consistently cleaning the towels and do a great job upkeaping the equipment. This In-Shape location has a good selection of free weights and machines. It can fill out a bit at peak times, but I have always been able to find a way to get a full workout in. I do wish they had a dedicated space to stretch, do yoga, floor based workouts, and cardio such as ladders, boxing, or even dancing. They had 2 dedicated spaces for this when they first opened this location, but these spaces are now used for group classes. The larger room on the base floor is still available for free use when classes are not scheduled, so keep an eye on the schedule if you want to utilize it for your workout. While I miss being able to do all the activities mentioned before in those rooms, it is great to see the rooms utilized to their fullest with the group classes.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel parents deserve to know what to expect…read more I enrolled two children in paid swim lessons at In-Shape Seven Oaks. These lessons are not included with my membership. They are a separate service that I paid for, so I expected them to be run professionally. Unfortunately, the lesson started about 25 minutes late and ended 20 minutes early. My children did not receive the full lesson that I paid for. That is simply unacceptable. After I raised my concerns, several other parents shared that this has been an ongoing issue for them as well. One family told me this was their third week experiencing the same problem and that they had already brought it to management's attention, but nothing had changed. That was the most disappointing part of this experience. I do want to recognize Carolina, the swim instructor. She has been wonderful with the children, and this review is not about her. It is about the lack of organization and accountability from management. Seven Oaks has a reputation for being one of the premier In-Shape locations, and I expected much better. If you're going to offer paid swim lessons, they should begin on time, end on time, and provide the full instruction that families are paying for. Parents arrange their schedules around these lessons and spend their hard-earned money expecting the service that was advertised. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary changes so future families receive the quality of service they deserve.
