From the reviews
9Round Afton Village is fantastic. I came for my first workout towards the end of January and John and Kobe were awesome in explaining everything and making it super easy. It is a challenging HIIT workout that changes daily.
I’ve been coming to this location for about a year now. 9 Round is awesome and this location is the best! All of the trainers at Afton are amazing, they get to know you and push you to do better/more as well as encourage you through the whole workout.
Efficient and effective use of 30 minutes towards better health - physically , mentally and emotionally!!! Proof of progress - better results of annual physical tests 😁 Each round of the 9 rounds has a different set of 2 exercises. These sets for all 9 rounds change everyday!

Top notch trainers, and owner always there for you to help get the best out of you. Everyone should come by and give 9round at afton village a try., you won’t be disappointed.
New to kickboxing? Start at 9Round Afton Village
9Round Afton Village 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 9Round Afton Village
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.
