Waiting too long to see the gym agent!leaving the place without seeing anyone. No agent was available to talk to. Only receptionist was available. It was11:39AM
Decent enough gym, until you try to quit... These guys make that one friends episode feel a little to honest.
AWESOME PLACE AND EVERYONE IS SUPER KIND!
Do your self a favor and stay away from that gym.
Awful management, terrible place.
Microphone never works, instructors have to scream so you can hear them.
It's never clean there is a dust everywhere. Mirrors are dirty, equipment are old and broken most of the time.
They can't even have a normal clocks to show the correct time.
And when you call the corporate office to complain. they never do anything about it.
They have cut lots of classes.
They are sure charging you money every year for improvement. But do nothing about broken machines.
Bye bye awful please.
I can really go on and on. But I have no time. Just remember and don't say " I did not know"
I was unaware I even had an account with Body Xchange, because I was under the impression that I had canceled my membership. Then, I received an email from their facility stating I would be charged a yearly membership fee to renew the membership. This was not cool with me, in that I was not asked for permission prior to the account being renewed. So, I called the Body Xchange on White Lane in Bakersfield, California. The female representative who answered the phone was very friendly. I told her of the email and explained I had canceled my membership a long time ago and should not be receiving such an email from them. The rep stated I was correct and had no account. I responded, "Regardless of what you're saying, since I have received notification that I am going to be charged, I would like an email or letter stating I will not be charged and confirming I do not have an account with your facility." The rep responded that it was impossible to do so, and then stated she would be transferring me to her manager. Once transfered, I relayed the same information to the manager. He told me he was unable to send me any sort of confirmation. Upset, I retorted and demanded I receive some sort of confirmation I am of under no financial obligation to their facility. He refused.
Next, I called Body Xchange on Calloway Drive in Bakersfield, California. I relayed the issue, and once again was told it was impossible to receive any sort of confirmation from them. Instead, I would have to speak to a representative in the corporate office.
Withholding my urge to get upset, I called the corporate office. After a 10 minute phone call, I was able to get confirmation that I would receive an email stating I have canceled my membership with Body Xchange.
I feel it should not be this difficult to ensure I will not be in any sort of financial commitment with a gym. Life is hard enough as it is. I don't need the "iron fist" of a company, who is making substantial profits as it is, to expose me to the emotional stress I had to go through to ensure my departure from their establishment.
Atmosphere and staff is great. Equipment is always in working condition and repaired as quickly as possible. They provide child care services and have a number of classes available for all members, ranging from pilates, yoga, etc. Go on, join and reach your health goals!

First let me say I've been a member off and on for over 10 years.
This gym needs new management.
First of all the basketball there is bringing the place down, you have street kids consistently sneaking in through the outdoor basketball court. They hop the fence and come in through the outside bathrooms. I've mentioned this several times to management and they don't increase security. Street kids walk in whenever they want.
Second, these street kids are cussing swearing and the basketball court is horribly mismanaged, this gym is not a nice place to work out, street kids everywhere talking trash, fighting, causing problems.
The water fountains there have been there at least 10 years, why not take some of that facility improvement money and invest in a water purifier/water bottle re filler. I mean come on even airports have these now.
Lastly kid care is horrible, they let 11 year old special needs kids fight, yell and scream all over the little toddlers, my kid has PTSD from the kid care fiasco.
I have since switched gyms and will no longer go to body exchange which is sad, this was my favorite gym, but the wild basketball kids, old water stations, and horrible kid care has ruined it.

The vibe is what keeps me going back. Front desk clerks are so welcoming. Kinda like CHEERS the old bar show.

This gym is a joke they don't care about the business or the customer they only care about the dollar coming in. Also Most the equipment has "out of order" signs on it. I suggest going to inshape it's worth the few extra dollars.

At the start of the year I opened a membership to every gym so I can see which one I like the most. 3 months later the only membership I have is body xchange aka my home away from homw

Always packed with roiders, machines are sticky and drenched in sweat. The only time to get a decent lift in is right as they open or before they close (4:30am and 10pm). The bathrooms are toxic and absolutely wreak of ammonia....if you drank the piss in the urinal I'm sure you could get a free cycle (if you don't get staph first). Unless you take dbol and drive a lifted truck, there's a 24 hour fitness and in-shape within a mile radius of this place.
Memberships here are awesome my hunby loves the basketball courts both inside and out.
I like it here can be busy and i didnt get the deal i wanted but its a good gym for a low price
Adequate so far. Offers classes and personal training. Has a basketball court. No swimming pool.
I have used this gym for 13 of the last 14 years. I have found it satisfactory until I found another gym that was satisfactory for a lot less. I just recently came back at a much more reasonable monthly fee and it is close enough to my home to justify paying a little more.
I would give it a 5 star but sadly no I am not too ok with the children's club members there they treated my kids rudly when my kids have not had troubles with anyone in other body xchange locations or even in school
I went here for like a year. Someone broke into my locker and stole my money. My lock was on the locker and everything.
Great Enviorment Friendly People and Staff
I gave this place a shot despite the mixed reviews. Smelled awful, no one using towels, half of the cardio machines didn't work, but it was ok for the moment. My previous location of choice is in the process of moving so I decided to go back a couple more times. Same issues every time, but last night I only spent 48 minutes inside and come out to my car window busted out. I wasn't parked in the dark, it was well lit. Other cars were undisturbed. Still, between the subpar overpacked gym, general look/smell, and the hood rats that case the parking lot, I'm cool. I'd rather get my cardio on a trail than use my gym membership until the new location opens.

This is the worst gym in Bakersfield. They trap you into long contracts and have the nerve to close off half of the gym for a weekend because people left trash on the ground and God forbid they had to clean it up. The owner told me as a marine corps vet I should be used to being massed punished and was extremely disrespectful. This business is based on greed, so if you want a gym that takes care of you look elsewhere. Just read other reviews I'm sure you'll see just how awful it is from others.
