People from Gandy train at Empire MMA Gym & Fitness in South Tampa. MMA, BJJ, boxing, and kickboxing classes, plus 24/7 member access to the gym floor. Book a free trial class.
Plenty of our members live in Gandy. Our gym sits at 5006 S MacDill Ave in South Tampa, a short drive away. That matters more than people expect. When the gym is close, you actually go. Classes run in the mornings and evenings, and members can use the gym floor 24 hours a day, so training fits around work instead of the other way around.
We run MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, and kickboxing classes, along with strength and conditioning, HIIT, personal training, and youth programs. Complete beginners are welcome in every class. If you just want a 24/7 gym near Gandy with real equipment and no crowds at odd hours, a standard membership covers that too.
Empire MMA Gym & Fitness is veteran-owned and has been training Tampa since 2015. The easiest way to see if the gym fits you is to come train with us. Book a free trial class, tell us what you want to work on, and we'll put you in the right class. No pressure and no long sales pitch.
