Franklin Gym & Carrollwood

Carrollwood is one of Tampa's most established family neighborhoods — great schools, parks, and a suburban feel with easy access to the rest of the city. While there are franchise boxing studios in the area, none offer the real boxing experience that Franklin Gym provides.

The 18-minute drive down Dale Mabry is worth it for access to coaches who've trained in world championship camps. Our Kids Boxing Club gives Carrollwood children a structured, discipline-building activity that goes far beyond fitness. For adults, Franklin Gym's boxing classes deliver genuine technique instruction — footwork, combinations, defense — not just a heavy-bag cardio session. Many of our members make the drive from Carrollwood because they know the quality difference is real.
