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.

The park was well-maintained, and it was nice to see others relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. Kids were playing, adding to the perfect park atmosphere. The ample trash cans helped keep the area clean. The highlight was watching the kids play tag and make memories.

If safety is a concern, this is not the place for you and your children. The staff over look rowdy…read morebehaviors, turn a blind eye and prefer not to get involved. Mothers and children use the most foul language and life guards walk on by as they ignore stares from other parents to intervene. My 9 y/o was punched in the face by two bullies and not one of the four life guards standing at opposite ends of the pool saw a thing. The manager, Sarah Swanlund allowed the perpetrators to continue swimming while my son sat crying on the bench. After speaking to the boys who claimed no fault of their own and in fact blamed my much smaller, younger son of assaulting them, didn't bother asking my son for his side of the story. My son complained to me of difficulties moving his jaw and headache. I ended up taking my son to urgent care and filing a complaint with law enforcement. Mary Swanlund did nothing to protect my child and when asked to do the very least by escorting the kids off the premises, she decided to smirk and smile condescendingly, blinking her eyes without saying a word. As we were leaving, I did see the two boys laughing at my son still crying and talking about how annoyed they were that my son wanted to play with them.

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.

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!

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 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.

I would definitely give the staff members 5 stars. But if I was to rate gym members it would be 2-3 not all, of course, but some need to do a better job of putting equipment back after using it. And picking up their drenched plastic bags in the steam room. Overall, I really enjoy this gym and appreciate the staff. I just hope members can be more considerate so the gym stays clean and enjoyable for everyone.
