Franklin Gym & Bayshore

Bayshore Boulevard is Tampa's crown jewel — the longest continuous sidewalk in the world and a magnet for runners, cyclists, and fitness enthusiasts. If you're one of the thousands who run the Bayshore waterfront, you already know the value of serious training. Boxing is the perfect complement to your running — building upper body power, core strength, and explosive conditioning.

Franklin Gym is just one block east of Bayshore on Howard Avenue, making it the closest boxing gym to the Bayshore corridor. Swap one running day for a boxing session and feel the difference. Our 60-minute classes combine heavy bag work, mitt drills, and conditioning circuits that transform your speed and power. Coaches like Asa Beard — who's trained in camps with some of the sport's greatest fighters — will elevate your fitness to a level you can't reach on the boulevard alone.
