Strength & Health is an old school, inter-city, purist's gym, "A mecca and historical landmark since 1982". Recently purchased by DrMark P - competitive bodybuilder and Chiropractor. The place has been completely renovated. S&H embraces the premise that the physical culture movement was founded on resistance training, and that everything fitness that was spawned from it, is like auxilliary spokes on a wheel.
You will find no rubber-coated plates here. The rules are: lift heavy or go home, use chalk, do NOT lower the deadlifts quietly, and if you are not screaming or yelling then you are not training hard enough!
It also has a full blown MMA school in the back with two of the best Mui Thai and Ju-jitsu trainers in Bakerfield with a total of 35 professional fight to their credit..
S&H has dumbbells as heavy as anyone can handle- first generation Nautilus equipment, Icarion, Hammer strength and even some fabricated one of a kind stuff.. when in town- stop by.. daily pass only $3.00!!
