Legacy Boxing is a USA Boxing certified gym near Penn State offering structured classes and real coaching for beginners and athletes. Build real skill and confidence in a clean, supportive gym with expert coaches and a proven training system.
At Legacy Boxing & Combat Sports Academy, we teach the same techniques used by Golden Gloves competitors, All-Americans, and National Champions. Our boxing classes are structured, progressive, and designed for adults and teens of all experience levels.
Classes are led by USA Boxing certified coaches, including Coach Derek Roth – Head Coach of the nationally ranked Penn State University Boxing Club. Coach Roth was named the 2023 NCBA Coach of the Year and brings over 30 years of experience to every session.
Many members of the Penn State Boxing Club Team actively train at Legacy, making our gym a unique environment where new students can learn alongside serious collegiate athletes in a supportive, skill-focused setting.
Our program emphasizes real boxing: form, footwork, defense, and conditioning. Sparring is never required – instead, we use technical drills like Shoulder Tag, a Cuban boxing method that sharpens reflexes and timing in a safe, controlled way.
Whether you're training for competition, looking to get in shape, or trying boxing for the first time, Legacy offers a focused path to progress. Every session builds on fundamentals and challenges you to improve.
Train at the best boxing gym in State College with structured classes for beginners, hobbyists, and athletes. No experience needed – just show up ready to work.
Boxing memberships start at an affordable $75/month. Drop-ins and combined MMA + boxing options available. Start training this week – all levels welcome.
