More Than a Gym — A Bloomsburg Institution

Founded by Joel Nott, Bloom MMA was built to fill a gap in Bloomsburg's fitness and martial arts landscape. The town had plenty of traditional gyms but nothing dedicated to real combat sports training. We changed that — and Bloomsburg responded.

Today, we train hundreds of members ranging from Bloomsburg University students to working professionals to kids as young as 5. Our competitive fighters represent Bloomsburg on regional and national stages, while our recreational members build fitness, confidence, and friendships on the mats every day.
