Best Gyms with Free Parking near State-college, Pennsylvania

My Wife and I trained here during our visit on vacation from AZ. Ryan and staff are extremely professional and show amazing hospitality. We felt welcomed as part of the gym the moment we stepped onto the mats. We had an amazing time training and will definitely be back!

Excited for our youngest (age 5) to explore MMA! The program is a great fit - 2 classes a week to provide a consistent practice that includes opportunity for physical and mental/emotional development.

This gym was everything I wanted and more than I asked for. Starting BJJ at 39 years old was very daunting, however the only daunting part was just stepping in the gym and taking that first step. All of the staff at the gym are incredibly welcoming, informative and supportive. From the very first lesson and beyond they have remained steadfast in the passion for educating me. I honestly feel like it’s a one on one lesson every time I go to class. There maybe 20 people in a class, but I feel like I always have access to the instructors and truly feel like each one of them are invested in my personal growth. I feel so honoured to have found this gym, it’s way more than that, it’s family.

CPAMMA is such a welcoming space. Gyms like this can be intimidating for females and they do an incredible job of making girls feel that they belong. The instructors are incredibly helpful and supportive. I love attending classes at CPAMMA as I feel I gain new knowledge each time. I highly recommend!

CPMMA is an awesome gym. I love the blend of hands-on technique and active practice! The teachers are awesome and I’m learning so much from them and the other students. I’ve only done Women’s Kickboxing, but hope to expand to other striking classes soon.

I started training in boxing and Muay Thai one year ago at Lombard MMA, and have progressed from the beginners classes into the advanced classes. The gym has given me a community outside of the stresses of grad school, and a healthy outlet. I'd wanted to try out MMA for a while but had been too intimidated as a female who is relatively weak and non-confrontational. However, I felt safe enough to try MMA out at Lombard because there are other women in classes at all levels, and Coach Bruce makes a real effort to make everyone feel welcome and encourage community. Try out a beginner class, you'll be surprised how quickly you can learn a cool skill, how strong your body can become, and how welcome you feel.

I have been going here for over a year. What started as a casual trial class turned into an intrinsic part of my routine. I went up from the beginner to advanced class over the year in both boxing and Muay Thai. For someone with zero prior martial arts experience, the learning curve was steep but I had amazing coaches like Bruce and Dan along the way. The community is also great there where I’ve made some great friends and you also get help from the more experienced members. The prices are also very nice for students! Please don’t be intimidated to try your first free class and get a feel of this amazing facility and community.

Great people, great vibes, great training. Awesome environment to have fun and learn at the same time. I had a blast right from my first class - and I started from total zero, no martial arts background. It's such a welcoming, encouraging environment that I jumped right in with boxing, muay thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and kickboxing. I'm getting better, and best of all, I'm loving every minute.

I trained at Lombard MMA starting in high school and kept going into college. Bruce is a great coach, really cares about his students, and makes a welcoming and friendly environment for everyone. If you want a good coach to learn martial arts skills from or just a fun gym to work out at with a great community, I would highly recommend.

I have been training at LombardMMA for around 2 years. When I started, I had virtually no experience. Compared to other MMA gyms, the staff is patient and will pay the same amount of attention to someone who just joined and those who have been coming to the gym for years. This constant attention and coaching allowed me to become competent enough to join the LombardMMA coaching staff myself. In addition to technical development, the classes at LombardMMA provide an excellent way to improve fitness. Training here prepared me well for the physical challenges of Marine Corps Officer Candidates School. Regardless of your background or goals, LombardMMA has something to offer everyone!
