From the reviews
I’ve been looking for a gym with a personal touch, a gym that will provide motivation and people to aid in my transformation. I got all that and more at 9 rounds in Laurel. The manager is super intense with a smile. She makes me feel like I can move mountains.
I really enjoy this place! I can easily schedule workouts that fit my day. And the workshops add variety. The owner himself is an example of what can happen if you work hard. He is fit, positive, and helpful.
Love my 9Round family! All the trainers are amazing and the workouts are challenging. Everyday a new workout!! It’s a great environment with awesome members that are always encouraging you to push through. I have been a member for since 2017. Best feeling is when you complete the 9th round! 🥊💪🏼
I absolutely love 9Round Laurel!! Clause, Honeybee, and Nate Dawg push me to the limits! The workouts are tough, but they are also a lot of fun. If you’re looking to get in shape without spending hours a day in the gym, this is the place for you! Definitely check them out!
New to kickboxing? Start at 9Round Kickbox Fitness
9Round Kickbox 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 Kickbox 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.
