“I can’t say enough about this gym! I Whether you are are just looking for a great way to stay in shape or to train for a fight, the team at CPAMMA will help you get there. I joined with the intention of just wanting a new form of cardio exercise and later became interested in fighting. CPAMMA welcomes and works with all students to achieve their goals. Now, as an expectant mother, they have again adjusted to my needs and ensured classes are safe while still advancing my training. Plus, you can’t find a better community of teachers, students, and friends to be a part of.”
“I’ve had a very great experience with this gym. The teachers are very friendly easy to talk to and ask questions. The instructor at CPAMMA doesn’t mind spending time explaining the technique and helping you work on it. I feel like I have improved as much as I possibly can in the amount of time that I’ve spent there, would still be attending hadn’t I moved from the area.”
“Ryan is world class trainer and a great mentor as well. Now that I’m training up here in Minnesota many of the same techniques and principles I practice everyday with Greg Nelson “a sought after world class trainer himself,” are the same principles I learned from Ryan while living in State College for this past year.”
