TAMPA, Fla. — Municipal Gym, the fitness club co-founded by actor Mark Wahlberg, has selected downtown Tampa for its first planned Florida location.
The company signed a lease for 30,000 square feet at DoMo at Cass Square, a $200 million mixed-use development planned for 1110 E. Cass St., according to a news release.
Municipal Gym, founded in partnership with the leadership team behind EōS Fitness, expects Tampa to become its second U.S. location.
An opening date and Tampa membership prices were not included in the announcement.
Training and recovery spaces planned
The Tampa club is expected to include strength equipment, a 15,000-square-foot turf area, outdoor workout space and a golf simulator.
Plans also call for the “4 Club,” a full-body circuit training room inspired by Wahlberg’s workout regimen.
Announced amenities include hot, warm and cold recovery pools, cryotherapy, red light therapy, hydrotherapy massage, steam rooms and an infrared sauna. A cafe, retail space and private showers are also planned.
“Expanding into Tampa is an exciting milestone for Municipal Gym and an important step in where we’re taking the brand,” said Manzo Hodge, the company’s co-chair and CEO.
Part of a planned downtown tower
Miami-based developer LD&D’s DoMo at Cass Square is planned as a 27-story building with 360 apartments, 40,000 square feet of retail and a 574-space parking podium.
Municipal Gym’s lease accounts for approximately three-quarters of the development’s planned retail space.
The project, designed by Baker Barrios Architects, will also include residential amenities such as a co-working lounge, game room, library and pool deck with private cabanas, according to the developer.
