From the reviews
Truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. I started boxing right when the pandemic started and trained at Keppner Boxing for a year and a half. This place has a TREMENDOUS culture.
It’s hard to say enough good things about Keppner boxing—I’ll try and do it justice but it’s something you really ought to experience for yourself. First off—the coaching is amazing. Keith and his staff are knowledgeable and hands on. It really feels like you have a personal trainer...
Been a member for a few years. Coming back after not being consistent and the fitness boxing, corebox, and bootcamp are awesome. Supportive coaches that push you but support your limits. Every class is a new experience. A positive experience every time I walk through the doors.
I just have to brag on this gym..My son started last week, the coaches here are unbelievably friendly, not even his teachers greet him like they do here! There’s so much Positive energy and the coaches all seem so happy to see you when u enter the gym!
New to kickboxing? Start at Keppner Boxing & Fitness - Athens, GA
Keppner Boxing & Fitness - Athens, GA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Keppner Boxing & Fitness - Athens, GA
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
