The Daily Collegian, Penn State University’s student newspaper, did a story on the merger between Lionheart and Titan Fitness & Martial Arts.  It also got into the future of how the “conglomerate” is going to expand to become four clubs with the most notable and immediate being the Downtown Athletic Club, formerly the site of Titan Fitness & Martial Arts.  The link is below.  Enjoy.

Even though we are still in the throes of winter, Centre Region Parks and Recreation (CRPR) has released the dates and started registration for the youth martial arts summer camps.  Titan Fitness & Martial Arts and CRPR are proud to have partnered in offering our Youth Martial Arts & Culture Camp since 2005.

The camps give area children an introduction to the martial arts that we teach and some history from the countries of origin of these exciting martial arts.  The martial arts include Jeet Kune Do from China, Kali from the Philippines, and Muay Thai from Thailand.

Each camp meets from Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 11 AM at a cost of only $60 for residents and $90 for non-residents.  The camps take place at our new location, 127 Sowers Street (Lionheart Fitness).  For more information on registration through CRPR, go to the following link:

We invite you to join us for what will be a fun and rewarding experience for your child.

Dear Titan Fitness & Martial Arts Student,

First let me wish all of you a very Happy New Year. I hope it is a joyous and prosperous 2010 for all of you.

Some of you may have heard the latest news. If not, here is your official notification. Titan Fitness & Martial Arts has partnered with Lionheart Fitness to take over the martial arts and boxing operations at their 127 Sowers Street location. This move forges an alliance between Titan and the area’s premier fitness club.

We will be operating solely out of the Sowers Street location as of January 11, 2010. The present gym will remain open until January 10. You will continue to benefit from our martial arts programs as you always have. In addition, you also will have access to a state of the art fitness facility with the latest cardiovascular machines and a plethora of strength equipment. I encourage you to visit their website at lionheartfit.com to get a glimpse of the amazing facilities we will have the good fortune of using.

Pricing will stay the same, but there will be a few minor administrative issues that each member will need to complete as you are changing to another facility.

Class schedules may be modified slightly to accommodate some portion of the schedule already in place there, but we will do our best to maintain as much continuity for our Titan members as possible. We will do our best to have something posted on our website with an updated schedule as soon as possible.

I anticipate that you will have more issues and questions. I will be available via the gym phone or email. Don’t hesitate to contact me. I want this transition to be as smooth as possible for all of us. I can assure you of this: this move is one that will benefit all of you from the training experience in martial arts to the state of the art facility to optimize your health and fitness goals.

And after 16 years, I finally get to say this, “WE HAVE PARKING”.
