    X3 Sports acquires Keppner Boxing in Athens

    X3 Sports is excited to announce its second gym acquisition by acquiring Keppner Boxing, expanding its reach, and becoming the largest martial arts training facility in Athens. This expansion brings a new level of training and community engagement to the area, offering an unparalleled variety of classes and services.

    Mike Littrel, CEO of X3 Sports says, “We are thrilled to expand X3 Sports in Athens and bring our comprehensive range of fitness and martial arts training to the community. This acquisition allows us to provide an even broader range of services to our members, including the vibrant UGA student population. We’re excited to welcome Keppner Boxing members into our family and look forward to helping them achieve their fitness goals in a supportive and dynamic environment.”

    “Joining forces with X3 Sports is an exciting step forward for our members and the Athens community,” says Keith Keppner, CEO of Keppner Boxing. “This partnership is building the strongest fitness and martial arts community all under one roof in the classic city!”

    With this acquisition more members of the Athens community will get to experience X3 Sports’ diverse range of fitness classes, including boot camp-style workouts, martial arts training, and youth programs—all at an affordable price.

    This acquisition is a significant win for the Athens community, particularly for the vibrant University of Georgia (UGA) student population. X3 Sports is less than a 10-minute drive from the university campus, making it a convenient choice for students looking to balance their academic and fitness pursuits. 

    Beyond fitness, X3 Sports fosters a supportive and family-friendly environment, making it a hub for community engagement. The facility is designed to accommodate members of all ages and skill levels, encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle.
