Mighty Mick’s Gym
Seen in: Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky V, Rocky Balboa
The dingy façade is still recognizable here, though the area looks quite different now. The face of Mighty Mick’s never actually was a gym of any kind – all interior scenes of the gym were shot across the country in Los Angeles at the boxer’s haven, Main Street Gym.
Robert Plazek’s Travel Tip: “This area is terrific and you essentially have three locations to look at – the pet shop, Mick’s gym and the third being the Lucky 7 bar directly across the road from Mick’s which is actually a pizza shop. The old gym is now a Dollar Plus market. I bought a bottle of water and took a few photos from inside.”
Mike Kunda’s Travel Tip:
“Start by going down near Penns Landing at the waterfront (The Delaware River). Take North Delaware Ave. until you see Frankford Ave. Take Frankford Ave. straight past E. Girard Ave., keep going 20-30 blocks until you see East Norris St. Take a left or go to the next street that allows you to turn left, then go straight a couple of blocks to North Front St. Then take a right about two blocks and on the right is 2147 N. Front St., Mickey’s Gym.”
