Franklin Gym & Clearwater

Clearwater is the crown jewel of Pinellas County, known for its stunning beaches and resort atmosphere. While Clearwater has one dedicated boxing gym, options for high-level coaching are limited across the entire Pinellas side of the bay.

For Clearwater boxing enthusiasts willing to cross the bay, Franklin Gym offers a level of instruction that's hard to match on the Pinellas side. The Courtney Campbell Causeway provides a scenic 30-minute drive directly to our South Tampa location. Our coaching staff has collectively trained alongside Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Freddie Roach — credentials you simply won't find at most local gyms. If you're serious about boxing and living in Clearwater, the drive to Franklin Gym is an investment in your development.
