St. Petersburg/Tampa, FL. –– APRIL 24, 2023 –– Game Gym, a leading provider of esports training and programming, is today announcing its expansion to St. Petersburg and Tampa, Florida as it teams up with Black Dog Gaming (a division of Black Dog Venture Partners) to promote its new esports training platform and virtual summer camps. This new partnership will bring top tier esports training to the tens of thousands of young gamers in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area.
“Five years ago, we launched Game Gym as a place to help young people improve their skills in their favorite games while also being an outlet to showcase how esports is a valid extracurricular activity,” Game Gym founder and CEO Josh Hafkin said. “Our expansion to Tampa Bay will allow us to make a splash in the region’s rapidly growing esports scene and provide our award-winning programming to a new group of gamers.”
Game Gym’s premier product is the Game Gym app, a mobile esports training platform providing video workouts and practice routines for gamers of all ages. With content in Super Smash Bros, Minecraft, Rocket League, League of Legends, and more, Game Gym takes a practice approach similar to traditional “stick and ball” sports to help improve the players’ skills while also instilling healthy habits. The app also features content directed toward healthy gaming and content for parents.
