My daughter and I go to Eric Nolan's Xtreme Training Center. We started almost three years ago with zero knowledge and zero experience in martial arts and this place definitely helped us learn at our level and made us feel welcome. All the coaches and staff are awesome! Erica, coach Ryan, coach Phil, coach Jesse and the rest of the team have been very encouraging throughout my journey in this sport and have really helped me believe that I can actually get good at this as long as I continue to show up. They always pump me up. I am close to 40 years young so this experience has been very challenging but yet rewarding for me. It has helped me grow mentally, physically, and emotionally and it has done the same for my daughter. My daughter recently transitioned from Muay Thai to Jiujitsu and she loves it. The coaches have been very helpful and patient with her. If you are looking to put yourself in a challenging position to help you grow physically, mentally, and emotionally for your own good, this is the place to be. Along the way you are also going to lose weight, increase your energy levels, tone your body, feel great about yourself and meet great friends. Eric Nolan's Xtreme Training Center is stuck with us! lol read more

Eric Nolan's Xtreme Training Center - Kickboxing Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I love coming to this gym. The people are welcoming and friendly and the class times work well with my work schedule. Coach Phil runs an excellent kickboxing class and makes newcomers feel at ease and excited to work out. Hunter's Muay Thai classes are informative and fun. Kal's Saturday class is a great start to the weekend. Miss Erica at the front desk is super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to someone looking to start combat sports. read more

Ryan Wilbanks is far and away the best. If you want your kids to learn discipline and respect, this is your guy. I feel confident he is teaching my kids real skills and not just making it up as he goes. Some of his practices are unorthodox but they obviously work. I watched him take down 3 fully grown men in a 4 man cage match. read more

Erika or whoever the lady's name is im calling to cancel my wife's membership she was not in any way told it's a 2 year contract I call to ask if I can and right away she yalls at me and hangs up the phone saying I can't cancel for my wife read more

I recommend everyone this place, and very important, over there very good trainers , Because a lot depends on the coach in the child's future . read more

Awesome place with great people! I was a little intimidated coming in back I had friends that convinced me. Now, I can't wait for the next day to learn something exciting and cool with real world applications!! read more

My first time here and I can't wait to get my little girl in here!! COACH RYAN IS AMAZING WITH KIDS!! ERICA IS AN AWESOME PERSON!! Alot of respect for this FAMILY gym. You don't often find a group of people like this. They "speak" children, teach solid technique, and HAVE A BUNCH OF FUN DOING IT. First of many reviews. Hope to have some video of my little girl soon. read more

First time going there tonight! My kids had a blast... looking forward to many more nights of exercise and fun. read more

This business is not handling the pandemic well at all!! My son and I enjoyed the classes for about a year, spent about 140/month even tho we only made it once a week at most, the kick boxing class for me was fun, but they really weren't very family friendly when it came to the kids, my son was left out a couple times because they moved the class around and didn't say anything. Then covid happened and we had to move and now this business is doing what they can to keep charging me the monthly membership even tho the contract states you can break it in the event of a move. Telling me I have to show them a new drivers license when the dmv is closed/backed up for months and I can't even afford to purchase a new license in the first place!!! I called the gym to speak to them and all I got was an earful of how "Governor Gruesome" was a pain in their butts for shutting down the gym. Ok. Then they give me the run around as they are still charging me and when my credit card finally maxed out the billing company starts emailing me every day... I have told them over and over I moved out of state, sent pics of mail, my sons school address, anything to keep from getting charged or having to go the driver license route but no..... now the excuse is that I can't cancel the account, I am still being charged the monthly fee because I didn't pay for the months we moved away. So be careful signing a contract with this place! They will do whatever they can to rape your wallet! They are now adding additional charges! I was told my account would be closed in August! read more

Eric Nolan's Xtreme Training Center - Look at this place go! We moved last summer and closed the account. Don't sign any contracts with Eric Nolan!!!! - Kickboxing Near Me - Bakersfield, California

When I called about the account and explained my situation, you only saw me as a number. You didn't care about my experience with your gym or even offer to reinstate my membership. All you cared about was getting money for a membership that was never used. You expect to get fucked by big corporations, but not a small business in a town you grew up in. Just sad, disappointing business practices. read more

You want to get fit?? If so, this is definitely the place to check out! Yes, it's kickboxing but, I feel that it's a mixture of kickboxing & cross training!! You don't only work on the bag but, there are days were they will include weights which I totally love. I would definitely recommend going here. Also, Iris Eric Nolan's spouse is the bomb!! You want to sweat real good...then her class is the one you want to go to. She kicks my @$$ in a good way when I take her class. I feel really good afterwards tho!! read more

My son has been going here for years and recently I signed up my younger son. I have called twice and spoken to this lady named Érica. She is so rude and has NO customer service skills so for as much as they charge I feel like they need to put somebody in the front desk that's actually going to be able to work under pressure and not get overwhelmed and take it out on the customers. She has no place in the front working with people. read more

So excited to start a new family routine to workout. Everyone here is so friendly and extremely helpful. So happy to have found something for my family to enjoy. read more

Loving the 2 week trial so far. Yes they charge for the trial but you are pretty much paying for the BRAND new gloves they give you! The instructors are patient with us beginners too read more

I've been attending their Muay Thai class for two weeks now and I can confirm I am already noticing myself getting much more fit. With the in depth technique critiques while we practice from the coaches I have already learned so much about the form of striking and when to use certain moves in specific situations. Signing up was simple and they even gave me all the gear I needed as a sign on bonus (minus shin guards). The times they have for classes are extremely flexible fitting most schedules. I have fun, I am getting fit, and of course it always feels good to hit stuff at the end of a long day. read more

Eric Nolan's Xtreme Training Center - Kickboxing Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This seems like a nice family gym, but they're just like every other money-gouging gym. During the pandemic they stopped payments and said they would add free months to your membership while they were closed. What they didn't tell you is that they will also charge you for extra months after the pandemic. I received no additional months of membership as stated. I tried to cancel my membership several times since March, as I was moving. I had already moved before I could get in contact with them. I sent several photos of my ID and proof of address as requested and they still wouldn't cancel my membership. They said I needed to pay a fee which I understood. They said I had not paid this fee, yet they took that same amount out of my bank 3 more times?The company that handles their contracts is no better. Terrible customer service they hung up on me after I waited on hold for an hour to speak with the representative. My membership contract had ended several months ago and they continued to charge me and refused to cancel my membership or refund additional payments after I gave the appropriate documentation MULTIPLE TIMES. Impossible to speak with them over the phone because of the noise, but email takes sometimes weeks for a response. read more

Great place to learn self defense. Eric Nolan and his coaches are professional, patient and professional. Kids classes are great. They teach fitness, discipline, self defense and respect to the children. Adults do Xtreme Kickboxing. Iris is amazing!! If you're looking to loose weight and stay fit, this class is for you. Muay Thai is very addicting, this class is for self defense as well as Jiu Jitsu and MMA. Gym is super clean and they follow all Covid19 regulations. I highly recommend this gym to all my family and friends. read more

Both my kids go here and they love it, everyone is so nice and helpful. Coach Ryan is a great coach really friendly.

Not a very helpful gym especially during the pandemic. Still want to charge they don't allow to freeze your account instead they add more months to the contract for the months they were closed. I will not take my boys there any longer until this passes they seem to care more about their pockets rather than the customer's circumstances. Earlier last year I became pregnant and on disability and my husband lost his job they did not care mind you we pay $150 a month, when it comes to choosing on paying which bills this is a no brainer not a priority at this point. Think twice about signing up with them! And the same the receptionist only goes off on how the governor has affected them and blah blah instead of finding a solution to help. read more

I love coming here. It's a good, hard workout! I am always challenged! I read a review where a lady was upset about paying past her contract date. I remember when I was enrolling they said that it would automatically renew. So it is something to look out for if you decide not to continue. read more

Well i go to the gym and going to the gym never gave me my cardio i needed..my girlfriend has been going there so i decided to start doing it..i am glad i did..i get great cardio and sweat my ass off..thank you Iris for pushing like you do..its rough getting up early..lol..but well worth it..thank you..would recommend this gym to anyone that is looking for a place to train and burn calories. read more

Great gym! I trained with Eric years ago in the early 90's and now live and train muay Thai in Los Angeles. I was gonna be in Bakersfield so I called Coach Eric and asked if I could do a drop in to which he said yes. Erics gym is super nice with a huge weight room and lots of gear for training. All of the students were friendly and Erics son was coaching the class. Its said that you can judge a tree by its fruit and Erics son was an excellent coach with a good fight IQ just like his dad and a nice guy. Very impressive place and highly recommend to anybody looking to train in a real and effective combat sport. If you've never trained before it will be difficult for the first year but you will soon adapt and grow. Do it! Thank you Eric, I will come by again next time im in town. read more

I tried for a week to sign up with this gym. They think it's smart marketing to keep their prices, membership options, and ability to sign up for a class online a secret unless you fill out a contact card so they can call you. I don't want to give them my information unless I am members because then I'll get a bunch of junk calls or emails. However I did. One star for prompt callback but I was unable to answer because it was right in the middle of dinner with family. I tried to go to a class all week but since their website is so sparse I didn't know if I could just show up to sign up. Everyday I called about thirty minutes before the class that I wanted to attend but no one answers the phone and there's no option to sign up online. Very annoying. read more

Come here for a great workout! I was just visiting in town and decided to check out their cardio kickboxing class. I got a fantastic workout, Eric and Iris are super kind and generous, and I'm recommending this gym to the people I know in Bakersfield. Only downside is they don't have a gym where I live in the Bay Area! read more

I signed my son up for a class here. He enjoyed the challenge immensely! Mr. Nolan is passionate about training, fitness and supporting our local community. This business has easily earned 5 stars! read more

I love this place! I first called for information and spoke to Eric. Very professional and kind! He was very patient with all of the questions I had to ask. He took the time and sent me everything we spoke about in an e mail for me also. I brought my boys in for the free class to try out. My boys love it! They look forward to going. The lady at the front desk was so nice and kind also she explained everything I needed to know also and got us all set with the equipment my boys would need. We have been there a few times now and I am so impressed! They have a good size group of kids and yet they still take the time one on one with my boys when they need it! Thank you for being amazing read more
