TAMPA, FL — Mark Wahlberg's fitness brand is bringing its high-end gym and wellness concept to downtown Tampa for its first Florida location.

Municipal Gym, co-founded by the actor in partnership with EōS Fitness, has signed a lease for 30,000 square feet at DoMo at Cass Square, a $200 million mixed-use development planned at 1110 E. Cass St., according to a news release.

The gym, which will be the brand’s second U.S. location, will be located at the base of the development's planned 27-story residential tower.

Members will also have access to hot and cold recovery pools, cryotherapy, red light therapy, hydrotherapy massage, eucalyptus steam rooms, an infrared sauna and IV therapy, among other services. A full-service cafe and retail area are also planned.

"Expanding into Tampa is an exciting milestone for Municipal Gym and an important step in where we're taking the brand," Manzo Hodge, the company's co-chair and CEO, said in a statement. "Our vision has always been bigger than simply creating another fitness experience."

The gym will anchor DoMo at Cass Square, a development by Miami-based LD&D that is planned to include 360 apartments, 40,000 square feet of retail space and a 574-space parking garage.

The project also calls for more than 25,000 square feet of shared amenities, including a co-working lounge, spa, game room, library and rooftop pool deck with private cabanas.
