From the reviews
9Round is a well rounded workout experience. The 9Round - Dilworth staff are friendly, helpful, and all have very positive energy. They keep me motivated during my workouts. I love the variety in the workouts. After two months of regular attendance (3 x / week), I’m really starting to feel a difference.
Best workout experience ever. I'm a plus size women and I wasn't sure if this workout would be good for me well baby let me tell you it is I come five days a week and it is truly the best part of my day.
AMAZING LOCATION! Workout was fun and highly interactive! I wish all 9Round studios were the same! The Trainers were super energetic and challenged me with some great exercises! Fun and convenient! Best 30-minute fitness I have had in a long time!
I just finished my first workout and it was absolutely fantastic. Shannon is super informative and understanding of your goals. While it is very intense, she allowed time for me to catch my breath and kept me motivated throughout the entire workout.
New to kickboxing? Start at 9Round - Dilworth
9Round - Dilworth 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 - Dilworth
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.
