Was great in the beginning. Unfortunately now the classes are over booked and because of this poses are compromised. They offer a monthly membership for $99.00 with unlimited classes that can save money for those who regularly attend. My hope is to see the new place open so it can accommodate everyone. There really isn't a better place to go for Yoga. read more

April is the best instructor at Warrior 1. I have taken her classes for years and moved out of town a few years back and drive in every Sunday to take her core and hiit classes. I highly recommend her classes to all my friends. Always guaranteed a kick butt workout and April provides great modifications for all levels is fitness. She goes above and beyond for her yogis! read more

Worst service I've ever experienced from a studio/gym staff. I came in for my first cycling class and was simply told the class would start in a few minutes. I had to ask where the cycling room was, where to leave my belongings, and then had to search the room myself to find my bike. It is customary for indoor cycling studios to ask if you know how to adjust your bike and help you find anything you might need. The staff offered nothing like that...I was just glad I have done indoor cycling classes before. The young lady at the front desk seemed put out that I was asking questions, even though I had told her it was my first time there. The only reason I would come back is because Georgia is an amazing instructor. read more

Kelsi will lift your spirits and get you in shape!!! No matter what level you are she will make you feel comfortable!! All levels take her classes!!! Sign up for her classes you won't be disappointed!! ‍‍ read more

Guys, what has happened? I used to come every single day, but I can't because your classes are so frequently cancelled at last minute... Which seems a little unfair given your cancellation fees when things work the other way. The owner keeps blasting Christian worship music during workouts--which, btw, can hardly be described as yoga... And sending scripture notifications... We are entitled to and from religion, but it seems profane for a practice rooted in Eastern religion and culture. Plus, it's uncomfortable for those scarred by corrupt religious leaders in our town. Lindsay has repeatedly displayed a lack of kindness and is outright rude. Donovan's classes, which are the best and have lit playlists, always get cancelled! Things were great before Kelsi's maternity leave, Deekay moving, and Shanna's medical leave... But this place is a hotbed of negativity now. Unfriendly and cold... I usually can't get a simple "hello" back from reception. Please re-evaluate your operations, Warrior 1! I left this review on the Calloway location by accident, but most classes are held at Stockdale. That said, same thing applies for both locations. Except Rochelle usually hosts at Calloway, and she is extremely reliable. Unfortunately, her classes don't typically fit my schedule--and I prefer a larger yoga room, like at Stockdale (in case anyone is wondering about the location differences). Also want to give a shout out to Marissa because her classes are wonderful, but she is not heavily scheduled, so it's hard to make it. read more

I have taken many many yoga classes over the years but Kelsi's class At Warrior1 on Stockdale is the absolute best!. She radiates positive energy and is an amazing instructor. She is very encouraging and is excellent with beginners as well as advanced. I cannot say enough good things about her class. I look forward to her class every time. read more

Kelsi's flow classes r a legit workout!!!! A ton of flow!!!! Sweat!!!! And amazing kelsi spirit! Challenging.....and def do-able!!!

Love the Butt Sculpt class!!! Even the beginner class is good for stretching muscles. I appreciate that every Tuesday is free for military veterans. This establishment is professional, clean and great therepy for my neck/upper back discomfort. Thank you, Warrior 1! read more

So glad there is a true hot yoga studio in Bakersfield. Every class is amazing. I walk out of class feeling invigorated. Love love love Warrior 1 yoga!! read more

So, I have taken a few yoga classes before and I must say that Kelsi Wilson is by far the BEST instructor I have EVER had!! She was absolutely amazing.. I came back today for another class and I took the BUTI sculpt class and it was an amazing workout. Kelsi motivates me and now I feel like I want to keep coming back every week. I already booked another class with her. I have never had another instructor that has motivated me the way she has. She makes me feel positive, energized, excited and motivated to keep working hard and wanting to come back for my classes. I love her music too, it really gets me pumped for my workout!! I can't thank u enough Kelsi!! I feel like this is going to be life changing for me and I already feel like I'm addicted to something so amazing and I can't wait to have an amazing body like u too!! Thank u again for ur encouragement and for being such a beautiful inspiration!! Xoxo...Jen H read more

I did my first class at this location yesterday for restorative yoga. Loved the instructor Rochelle was awesome. I go to stockdale location but wish they had more classes here. read more

Amazing place! I've never done yoga before in my life and I wanted to challenge myself and get out of comfort zone and all the instructores and staff members are always happy and joyful with a contagious positive attitude. This studio is more than just yoga, it promotes a healthy and positive mindset for your life. I love this place although it is a bit expensive (for me). read more

I have been a member at warrior 1 for roughly 8 months and I absolutely love the classes offered there and the instructors are amazing. Like any I am sure I have my favorites as do they such as Kelsi, April, Yana, Rochelle. I finally branched out and tried out a new class called Buti FLOW taught by Shanna Wright at the Calloway location and I can say that I fell in love with her class and her instruction. Her beautiful personality and talent shines through during her teachings and she makes everyone feel welcome and beautiful. Her energy gets you pumped up which helps motivate you through the class. Her music is always amazing and has you dancing and singing for days after the class is over. I feel so great after her class and energized in a way I have never felt before in the other classes. If you haven't tried Buti with Shanna your missing out !!! I wish this class was available every day of the week!!! read more

I love the atmosphere at Warrior 1. I started a few years ago and fell in love with the classes! I was never much of a "yoga" lover but when I realized there were so many classes to choose from I had to get a membership! I felt so good after my first class. Now introducing more options, Dana continues to grow and add different types of classes which is awesome because I don't need to have other memberships at different places I can just come to one and get it all. All the instructors are amazing, and bring a lot of energy, all are so helpful for those who are beginners! I would recommend Warrior 1 to any one looking for a great workout! read more

I was not particularly happy with the service or the app to reserve a class. If you reserve a class on the app you cannot cancel later and get your money back. Even if you've already had a bad experience with the staff and no longer want to go back. No refunds so I don't feel like they care how they treat you. I was called their guinea pig big several of their employees while in a Lipo Light session. They didn't even put a sheet down on the table. I had to ASK them to close the door before stripping down in front of 3 women who were learning. Nobody could give proper instructions over the phone before the session. Over all very disappointed. Lost $266. Would NEVER go back. read more

I was researching yoga studios in Bakersfield and found that Warrior 1 offered a FREE 2 class pass just by signing up with email and name. Being new to yoga, I wanted to try the studio out before purchasing anything. I followed the instructions and received my downloadable voucher stating "2 Free Classes". Upon arrival, I was told I had to purchase a class first in order to receive my promised FREE vouchers. I walked out immediately. I will never patronize a business that lies in its advertising. read more

I really like the atmosphere of this studio; however, I wasn't impressed with the class that I took. I realize that maybe I didn't prefer the personal teaching style of the instructor, so I am willing to give the studio another try with a different instructor. The class I attended was titled " Hot Yoga Flow for Beginners." At every other studio I have attended the hot yoga beginner classes involve the teacher describing the positions and walking around to adjust you if you fall into an incorrect position. The instructor didn't do that, so the class was a bit more advanced than what I was expecting for a beginner level class. Also, I love flow hot yoga, because of the continuous movements. The instructor did about 15 minutes of what she called "Play Time" and the positions were very advanced. I would have gotten a better workout if we did continuous flow. Again, the overall atmosphere of the studio is very nice. We were provided with ice towels afterwards. The studio has a nice relaxing atmosphere as well. The class really wasn't what I was expecting for a beginner class which is why I gave 3 stars. read more

I recommend for anyone to do yoga, it's amazing, just not here. I can think of only a handful of the instructors who are properly certified; the rest are bored housewives or hairdressers. Also, not a zen type atmosphere; very judgmental, a lot of drama and not ran very professional. On the other hand if you want to do yoga then go next door to have a drink and gossip, then this is your place. If you notice the owners comment it is apparent she is a bit crazy and I can guarantee all she is saying is lies - I can also guarantee that not all of her teachers have proper training....Deekay - Rachael - she herself would joke about this / their training was in he front room. Just the way she responded to this shows she is no where near a true yogi - read more

I am also a yoga beginner. I have taken 2 classes at Warrior one and I really like it. The instructors are awesome and make you feel comfortable as a beginner or someone with experience needing challenged. The staff have all been so kind and helpful. read more

I've taken the beginner class twice with Kelsi Wilson and it is AMAZING! She is so kind and gentle with her instructions. She makes everyone in the room feel comfortable w their own ability. She is very good about reminders for water, breathing, and intention. If you are new to yoga the Hot Yoga is tough but she walks you thru each pose very carefully. Her pace is ALSO great for people who have been doing yoga for quite some time. I am also impress with Warrior 1 Yoga's facility. It is small but VERY clean and efficient. They sell some great accessories and clothing as well. read more

Every single instructor here is professional, talented, and kind. I am ridiculously grateful for the amazing work-outs, and teachers who care. The studio is clean and stunning. Rachel, Prometa, Deekay, Dana, Susan(the list goes on) each have their own teaching methodology. They are brilliant. I have lost twenty-five pounds doing something I never thought that I would love. My life is better because of this studio, and these amazing people. Please come try a class! This is one of the best things to happen to Bakersfield! read more

Absolutely love the entire atmosphere of Warrior 1! The heat is soothing and makes me sweat so much but the feeling after class is almost euphoric. I have attended several classes now with several different instructors and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. Though Warrior 1 offers classes with chanting, it is never uncomfortable for me. In Kelsi's class, there is never an uncomfortable or awkward moment. Kelsi is my favorite. She is positive, motivating, energetic yet calming, and overall has such a great personality. She uses all the proper yoga terminology, but is not overly spiritual. Definitely recommend taking one of her classes if you're new to Warrior 1 because she will make you feel right at home. read more

Kelsi Wilson is the best!! I took the beginner hot yoga class, Sunday at 4:30 and it was amazing! I had been the we before and almost didn't come back, but now I want to go to every class that Kelsi is teaching! She's calm and helpful and keeps things light! It's not hard core and I was able to keep up with everything she was doing! I legitimately only ever want to do the classes she teaches because she's great! read more

They have work to do. I am new to town and was looking forward to starting spin classes again. I looked up the schedule and reserved a bike. I arrived 30 min ahead of schedule to find the studio closed. I called to find out when they opened. I was informed I was at the wrong studio. OK How was I to know that? The schedule says nothing about location for the spin classes so I went to Calloway. OK I make it over to the correct location and get on the bike. The room is stifling. Absolutely no air circulation at all. I asked the instructor if she had control over the air. She told me sweating was good for me. FYI it wasn't billed as a hot spin class. Temperature is one thing but lack of oxygen is another. After the class was over I mentioned my former gym had blowers in the spin class to keep the air moving. The instructor told me I should go work out there then. I wish I could. I asked her about the monitor on the bikes connecting to heart monitors. She had no idea. Know your equipment at the very least. Oh well Peloton it is. read more
