Amazing just amazing, I took the kickboxing classes and it’s great for all levels. I gained so much confidence and had fun while learning all these new skills. The instructors are highly qualified and keep you on your toes. Not one class is the same in a good way. The owner, Bruce, makes sure to get to know each and everyone one of his members. His attentiveness, skills, techniques, workouts and personality is what makes you want to come back for more. Highly recommend!!!
I take private boxing lessons from my coach Bruce at Lombard MMA as well as personal training with Lionheart. Lombard MMA is a part of Lionheart so I get joint boxing coaching and a gym membership under one plan. What I can say is Bruce is the best mentor to have in State College and has progressed my boxing skills over the past year far greater than I expected. I highly recommend if looking for a start in boxing, advanced private training and/or different skilled classes!
LombardMMA is fantastic. Bruce and his staff make you feel welcome and constantly encourage an atmosphere driven by hard work and dedication. I look forward to going to classes every week, and would recommend this gym to anyone!
Amazing place to learn and train for boxing. Everyone is very welcome and helpful in terms of learning technique. There are classes for all levels if boxing!
THE BEST PLACE TO WORKOUT IN STATE COLLEGE!!! Kickboxing fitness classes are a great workout and fun, definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
Bruce is an exceptional coach. he really helps you establish a great foundation for the fundamentals of fighting along with other techniques to help you progress further as a fighter as well as an all around athlete
I just started kicking boxing at Lombard this year, and it has been one of the best workouts I have ever gotten. I’m not one for cardio but these classes are so fun and get you in great shape. I would recommend this to anyone looking to try to add to their fitness program or just to try for fun!
I took kickboxing classes along with some of my teammates and it was such a great experience. Every class was different but I always left sweating and feeling like I had a great workout. I was so happy to hear that my team, The Penn State Lionettes Dance Team, was partnering with Lombard MMA because the classes are quick and effective! I was constantly motivated and I would be excited to go to class everyday. Awesome coaches, amazing classes and overall, incredible experience! If you ever need a way to hold yourself accountable but also get an efficient workout, sign up and bring a friend!
Bruce is an incredible boxing/Muay Thai coach. I had private boxing sessions with him for an entire school year and found them to be extremely rewarding. He was always pushing me to do better and never left me practicing my moves incorrectly or without proper form. He has a one-of-a-kind personality and choosing to work with him this whole year was more than worth it. I enjoyed every private session and class I went to no matter the difficulty. If youre looking for quality instruction with qualified coaching, I highly recommend Lombard MMA.
I have participated in multiple kickboxing fitness classes and have loved them all. I normally do CrossFit, but the KBF class hits you in a different way!
I am currently a member of the Lionettes Dance Team here at PennState. We were paired with Lombard MMA for the semester in order to stay in shape during the pandemic. The classes always went by so fast, and I always left feeling like a got a great total body workout in only 40 minutes. The atmosphere is highly motivational, educational and fun. I highly recommend trying out these classes!
I can’t speak highly enough about Lombard MMA! I am captain of the cheerleading team at Penn State and we partnered with Lombard MMA for the semester. I can honestly say, I found a new passion. Being a student athlete and managing a rigorous class schedule it can be hard to find extra motivation to workout outside of practice. Now, I wake up looking forward to going to boxing. The people are fabulous. Lombard has such a great atmosphere. Every instructor is so positive. I have had such a wonderful experience!
Can I just do boxing here
Starting LombardMMA was a turning point for me with my fitness. The classes provide a perfect balance of structure and fun. The classes work and tone my entire body and I always feel accomplished after the workout. There is so much room for growth and learning with LombardMMA, I always feel like I am working towards a goal, whatever I want the goal to be that week. The atmosphere in the classes is so welcoming and encouraging. The importance of self-defense today is astronomical and LombardMMA has made me feel more confident and empowered than I ever thought I could be.
The instruction here is great!! The coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly, and can actually do what they teach! I have been going for years and will continue to go for years to come.
The best gym environment in State College. Whatever your goals are, their phenomenal coaches will help you achieve them. Can’t say enough good things about my experience there.
Such a great place to workout! Everyone at lombardmma is extremely friendly and welcoming. Positive environment and a great place to learn self defense along with kick boxing, etc. Definitely my favorite place to workout in state college! Highly recommend!!!
Lombard MMA provides an atmosphere like none other. It is intense and challenging, yet encouraging and fun. Bruce takes time to get to know each member that walks in his gym and truly cares about seeing individuals transform into their best selves. Taking his kickboxing classes has given me new levels of confidence not only in my physical health but also in my athletic abilities. If you’re looking for a profound workout while learning new skills and meeting some awesome people, I highly recommend!
LombardMMA is the only training program Ive stuck with, and in my opinion has the best workout in town. As someone who needs motivation and variety in a workout, Bruce is an amazing coach. Ive never felt stronger, and watching my and everyone elses progress is so worth it. Joining LombardMMA has been one of the best investments Ive even made.
I went to the kickboxing/Muay Thai classes here for almost 2 years and loved it! It helped me lose almost 25 lbs, improved my self confidence, and developed my self defense skills. I’d recommend this place for men, women, people of all ages! Bruce is awesome!!!!
The classes not only offer killer workouts but also teach technique and self-defense for all levels. This gym helped develop my confidence and a positive self image. Highly recommended!!!
The best workout Ive ever done - Bruce always keeps it interesting and challenging! On top of breaking a sweat, youre also learning self defense skills and techniques to keep you safe out in the world. An amazing atmosphere and community, would definitely recommend!
My favorite place to workout!! It is not just a workout here, its an experience and the learning of new skills and gain of new friends. Challenging, fun & you feel great afterward. I will miss this place the most when I have to move away. I recommend that everyone at least gives it a try, youll be sure to sweat a lot and enjoy every second.

Ive been training here for about eight months and I can truly say that joining this gym is one of the best decisions I have ever made regarding my fitness. The classes are all expertly taught by dedicated, experienced, and knowledgable coaches. You get an excellent workout and learn important technical skills. Bruce Lombard takes the time to get to know everyone personally-- Ive yet to see him forget someones name. Joining this gym feels like joining a team and I highly encourage everyone to get on board!

LombardMMA has helped me in more ways than one. It has helped prepare me for entering the Marines by giving me confidence, mental toughness, and a new way of becoming more physically fit. Bruce is an amazing trainer, I do not believe there is another place out there where someone can find the same quality of one-on-one instruction he and his team provide to their students. Regardless of what class you take, the trainers at LombardMMA cater to each individual on how they learn best while making each class a fun environment to learn and workout in. I competed in 2 Muay Thai fights and won both of them and I owe all the credit to LombardMMA and the amazing people that work and train with them.
Great for all levels, if you are looking for high energy HITT style classes or technical fight training, all in a fun environment, there is something for you. Have personally seen people who have never put gloves on before transform both mentally and physically in a positive way. #WINTHEDAY
Friendly environment and a fantastic workout! Bruce is a great instructor
As a 26-year-old who never played a sport in her life, I always assumed fitness wasn’t for me. Going to the gym was boring and I wasn’t motivated. But as an adult sitting at a desk all day, I knew I needed to do something to stay healthy. My husband and I started doing personal boxing training 1-2x a week with Bruce in February and it’s been life changing. Not only are we spending time together as a couple, we are getting in shape while learning a life skill. The focus on learning new techniques and form means I’m never bored and I’m building confidence while getting in shape. Plus, as someone with a lot of anxiety, just training for 40 min twice a week has been a great way to get out of my head and relieve stress. If you’re looking to stay healthy (mentally and physically) while learning a new skill, I highly recommend checking it out!
Excellent techniques, very fair pricing, full gym access, & great atmosphere. Ive seen these students compete and they win.
Training at LombardMMA has been one of the best decisions Ive made during my college career so far. The coaches are dedicated to training you each night (even on the nights I came in half asleep) and work around your school/work schedule. Although I was unsure of myself at the beginning of training, Bruce and the other coaches taught us the basics and then gradually integrated more detailed and advanced techniques throughout the year. I could not thank them more for all their help in making me not only a more aggressive, confident fighter, but also helping me as a person to become more dedicated to learning the little details and maintaining motivation (despite ups and downs in training) throughout the training period. The community of coaches and fighters alike are all amazing, and everyone genuinely cares about training to make each person the best they can be. I absolutely loved trying out boxing, BJJ, muay thai and MMA, and would highly recommend for anyone of any skill level!
The absolute REAL DEAL when it comes to mixed martial arts in central Pennsylvania! Luckily, Bruce also takes it on the road and works with countless professional, semi-professional, and collegiate athletes all around the country. Whenever someone I know is looking for kickboxing, MMA, or fitness opportunities here in town, Lombard MMA is my ONLY recommendation!
I joined Lombard MMA because I wanted to learn self defense. Taking private lessons with Bruce was the best thing I could’ve done! I not only learned self defense but the one-on-one experience made each lesson personalized. I am a huge competitor and Bruce pushed me to be better at Muay Thai and in the process I ended up in the best shape of my life. If you’re interested in perfecting your technique or are looking for a tailored workout, I definitely recommend taking self defense classes with Bruce!!
When I started training with Lombard MMA in 2015, I did not anticipate the mental and physical journey ahead of me, and I certainly did not anticipate that I would start competing. I learned so much about myself throughout the process and many of the skills were applicable to other domains of my life. The community in the gym was a really important part of my experience there, too. The instruction is personal and fundamental. You will unleash power and strength you never knew you had. This is why I choose to train with Lombard MMA.
