Want boxing classes near Gandy? Franklin Gym offers 60-minute sessions led by professional coaches — and we're just a 10 minutes drive from Gandy.
Try a Free ClassThe Gandy corridor connects South Tampa to the Gandy Bridge and St. Petersburg, and the surrounding neighborhood is a mix of residential areas, commercial strips, and waterfront properties. Gandy residents benefit from proximity to both Tampa and the beaches, but quality boxing gyms in the immediate area are nonexistent.
Franklin Gym is just 10 minutes north on Howard Avenue, making it the closest real boxing gym to the Gandy area. Our expert coaches — including Head Trainer Asa Beard, who has trained with boxing royalty like Floyd Mayweather — provide instruction that goes far beyond what you'll get at a cardio-boxing franchise. The Gandy-to-Franklin Gym commute is easier than the Gandy bridge, and the training is infinitely more rewarding.
From the Gandy area, head north on S Dale Mabry Hwy or MacDill Ave to Howard Ave. Turn north on Howard — Franklin Gym is on the left at 2013 N Howard Ave. Quick 10-minute drive.
