Looking for a real boxing gym near Brandon? Franklin Gym is 14 miles away — just a 22 minutes drive to Tampa's most authentic boxing experience.
Try a Free ClassBrandon is one of the largest suburbs east of Tampa, with a family-oriented community, busy shopping corridors, and a growing fitness culture. While Brandon has some MMA gyms and kickboxing studios, there's a gap in dedicated, traditional boxing training taught by professional-level coaches.
Franklin Gym fills that gap. The Selmon Expressway makes the trip fast and direct — just 22 minutes door-to-door. What you get at Franklin is fundamentally different from what's available in Brandon. Our owner Kevin Franklin has produced world champions. Coach Asa Beard has trained in camps with Mayweather and Pacquiao. This isn't pad-holding at a strip mall — it's world-class boxing instruction. Many of our members commute from Brandon specifically because they recognize the quality difference.
From Brandon, take the Selmon Expressway (FL-618) west directly into South Tampa. Exit at S Howard Ave and head south — Franklin Gym is on the right. The expressway makes it a fast 22-minute trip even during rush hour.
