From the reviews
I joined a 30 day challenge moms group & it was the BEST choice I could of made. The coaches have helped, pushed & encouraged me to keep going. The 3 min. workout per station goes very quickly all while giving me a full boy workout. I'm 49 yrs old and have loss inches, gained muscle and confidence.
The personal relationships formed with the staff and other 9 Round members make this place great. I love that I can come in at any time, and stay for however long I want if I want to do more rounds or other activities.
They have a great workout circuit. It is as intense as you want to make it, and you have a trainer there helping the whole way. I've been to several gyms, and this was the first time working out had a different feel. It was more fun and engaging...
9Round has changed my attitude towards gyms! At a traditional gym I felt anxiety of whether others were “judging” me, whether or not I was using equipment properly, and had a hard time motivating myself to go. 9Round has never made me feel that way.
New to kickboxing? Start at 9Round Fitness
9Round Fitness 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 Fitness
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.
