Wonderful establishment to say the least. I grew up in this gym when it was American Acadamy of Gymnastics and I am proud to send my children here now. Mike and Sherri Williams are wonderful and their staff are top notch! They offer SO MANY great classes and many other services besides Gymnastics, swim, dance & ninja. You're children will get a 5 star experience and learn so much more than expected. I am so glad Bakersfield has this amazing establishment so we can build strong and healthy kiddos!

My child attended swim lessons for this summer. I loved all of his teachers since we switched his swim schedule to fit my work schedule. They’re very accommodating. This place is always clean and everyone is friendly. I will definitely bring my kids here every summer.

I have my 3 year old & 5 year old girl's enrolled here for swimming lessons. Instructors have all been great. The place is nice. I would definitely recommend paying the extra money and getting the 1 on 1 for swimming lessons because when there are 3 or 4 kids with the 1 instructor, your kid is really only getting 7-10 minutes of instruction. The rest of the time they are sitting on the edge of the pool. Other than that, it has been a good experience.

My kids love their gymnastics classes. My kid does cartwheels to get places instead of walking half the time. I was honestly a bit skeptical at first but seeing my son develop into a confident and active little guy has been great to watch. AKSC is great!
