Franklin Gym & Riverview

Riverview is one of the fastest-growing communities in Hillsborough County, with new housing developments and families pouring in every year. As the area grows, demand for quality youth and adult fitness programs continues to outpace supply. Boxing gyms specifically are rare in Riverview.

The Selmon Expressway connects Riverview to Franklin Gym in about 25 minutes — a commute many of our members happily make for access to coaching they can't find locally. Our Kids Boxing Club is particularly popular with Riverview families who want their children in a structured, discipline-focused program with real technique instruction. For adults, our boxing and Fight Fit classes provide the kind of intense, purposeful workout that builds both physical and mental toughness.
