Best Gyms with Saunas near State-college, Pennsylvania

Dirty gym. As a former D1 athlete I can certainly say this gym misses most bare minimum expectations. I bought a 1 month membership to try it out and happened to get COVID and missed a large portion of the month. I asked the desk multiples times if they could be courteous and either give me some refund or another month so I could at least get money worth. After emails and phone calls to them I finally got answered and was told they would call back soon (they never called). So besides having poor management — the weights, benches, machines, mats all have holes and rust. It’s a sore sight to the eye and I’m not sure a single piece of equipment is in the 2000s era. Let alone you’re smashed together next to one another because how tight the gym space is. And if you have any questions about the gym or of the sorts… don’t bother asking the front desk. They just sit on the sofa and say “uhhh I don’t know”. 0/5

Nice gym! Reasonably priced and not too crowded during peak hours

I go here especially for the Les Milles classes. The instructors here are friendly and great! The space they have for the classes is full of mirrors which can be a pro or con depending on preferences.

Nice locally owned gym. The staff are very committed to your having the best workout experience. Small but mighty:)

About three years ago I joined this gym because they have daycare for my daughter. The facility is small, but has all the basics I need for my workout. The staff is really friendly. The new manager (Scotti) is awesome. I love Fernanda's Yoga -- she's amazing!!!

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!

I absolutely love Hotworx and am glad I joined.The convenience of working out when it fits into my schedule is one of the great benefits along side of the relaxation I feel after being in the saunas. The staff is super friendly and helpful every time. I highly recommend it!

I enjoyed using this gym for a few weeks, but my opinion changed after visiting on a late Friday evening. I discovered that the fabric mat towels are not properly washed. Instead, the owner placed the used towels on the floor and sprayed them with a deodorizer like Febreze. This is unacceptable. These towels are used throughout the day, and others who use them the next day won’t know they’re not clean. When I offered to use my own towel, the owner became angry and rudely told me it wasn’t allowed. I won’t be returning and cannot recommend this place. It’s unhygienic and poses a risk of infection or skin fungus

I joined HOTWORX when they opened, months later I could not be happier. I love the convenience of getting a work out in at anytime, the staff is friendly & helpful, and the studio is super clean.

I am a 54 year old man. At this stage of my life, my fitness goals are flexibility, mobility, strength and overall health. Hotworx is perfect for these goals.

It's been great so far! Great workout, love the saunas and people are friendly and place is clean!

I have been a member at Northclub for 4 months and have been happy with the experience, the equipment while not the newest is fully functional and gets fixed quickly on the rare occasion it does get broken. The location is also a huge plus for me, extremely convenient if you are in the Park Forest neighborhood. The staff has always been friendly but went above and beyond today. I noticed that someone had backed into my truck when I got home, and so I went to see if the cameras at the gym had caught anything. I worked with Dayna who was super helpful/ friendly. She immediately looked back on the cameras for me, and all while entertaining my six year old who decided to play 100 questions with her. Ultimately, the accident didn’t happen there, but I was super impressed with the customer service, and would recommend them to anyone based on that alone!!!

This is a great gym . The gym has a nice variety of equipment to ensure a good quality workout. Staff are very cordial & helpful when assisting with anything. I appreciate the environment/ atmosphere at this gym which has a good amount of space, that provides a solid gym feel. Overall this gym is worth a membership.

Not Angry im just a little confused. When joined i specifically said to the desk lady Veronica that it was to use the wifi, seating, sauna & shower after my long shift at work and i got a "Oh yeah thats fine" in response. And go there after work last night and got locked out and checked my email and it said: "Good afternoon Quenton, We are reaching out to let you know that we have refunded $50 for your August dues payment, to the card that you have on file. Unfortunately, we must cancel your membership with the North Club. We are unable to have members use the front lobby as a place to sleep or reside. We have received feedback from members that they are uncomfortable with that as well. Thank you for your understanding, Veronica" I read the tos and i didn't break anything, i didn't misbehave. But yet i was mislead when i signed up and now feel taken advantage of.

Friendly staff, clean and well-ventilated changing rooms with shower. I only go there for racquetball so I can’t tell how good other equipment is. This’s probably the only place to play racquetball in State College if you don’t have access to Penn State’s IM building. The racquetball court is okay, the hardwood floor could use some maintenance I think. Unlimited racquetball-only pass is $30/month as of August 2020.

Great gym! The staff is very friendly in the equipment's perfect.
