Before joining Scranton MMA, I had no prior experience or knowledge of Mixed Martial Arts. Since starting in August 2025, I've learned so much about every aspect of MMA. Steve Polito, the head instructor, has done a phenomenal job breaking down the fundamentals and teaching each technique clearly and effectively. Scranton MMA is more than just a gym, it's a family built on strong values and a shared goal to help everyone become the best version of themselves, both on and off the mats. The other instructors, Franco and Lenny, are also outstanding, and their attention to detail has helped me improve every day. No drill goes unnoticed, which is a reflection of the staff's dedication and years of experience. Scranton MMA has had a huge impact on me, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in training or trying something new.
Scranton MMA is hands down the best gym I've ever been a part of. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I belonged. I did striking with Steve, and his expertise and genuine investment in my progress were evident from day one. There's a great community vibe that makes every session enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to grow both physically and mentally, Scranton MMA is it.
As someone who is wholly inexperienced in martial arts and is admittedly lacking in physical activity, my time learning Muay Thai at Scranton MMA was a supremely enlightening, positive introduction to the field. Instructions are perfectly paced to each individual student's comfort, and classes foster a great sense of cooperation and growth between student and instructor. Never in the classes I attended did I ever feel unwilling to ask for clarification or a refresher. Additionally, classes are kept interesting through varied application of drills, partner work, etc.. The approachable, highly qualified instructors are truly wellsprings of knowledge and I left each and every session feeling as though I had learned a great deal. Though I was not able to fully complete the Muay Thai program due to university, I have been practicing as many techniques as my claustrophobic dorm room allows :) Thank you, Steve!
Scranton MMA is a top-notch facility. I worked with Scranton's instructor, Steve Polito, 4-5 days a week for years. In that time, I learned more about myself and the sport than I could have ever imagined. All of our sessions were physically and mentally challenging leaving me excited to come and work hard the next day. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his students. Training with Steve is an investment in yourself that will provide noticeable returns not only in martial arts, but also at work, with your friends and in how you handle yourself as a person. I would highly recommend working with Steve and the Scranton MMA Team!
As someone who has never done martial arts before (but was always eager to), Scranton MMA has been an absolute joy to attend. They really do a fantastic job of teaching students of all levels and advancing you no matter what stage you’re at. I have been doing lots of the Muay Thai classes and look forward to the jujitsu, too! Very professional, organized yet very friendly and personable. I’d recommend anybody to Scranton MMA. Steve obviously knows what he’s doing and he’s incredibly inspiring to learn from.
