Franklin Gym & Westshore

Westshore is Tampa's commercial hub — home to International Plaza, WestShore Plaza, and thousands of office workers who commute in daily. When the workday ends, the last thing you want is a bland gym experience. Boxing at Franklin Gym is the antidote to desk-bound days — a full-body, high-intensity workout that clears your head and transforms your fitness.

Our 5:30 PM and later evening classes are popular with Westshore professionals looking to blow off steam after work. The 8-minute drive south on Dale Mabry or Kennedy gets you to a real boxing gym — heavy bags, speed bags, a ring, and coaches who've trained world champions. No gimmicks, no screen-based workouts, just you and the fundamentals of the sweet science. Franklin Gym is where Tampa's professionals come to train.
