From the reviews
9Round is fantastic! I’m only several sessions in, and I am already in noticeably better shape. Nico is such an incredible and inspiring trainer; I came in as a beginner, and every session she shows up to provide encouragement and elevate my workout to the next level. SO glad I found this place!
9Round is a vitalizing resource to our local community, as well as a very special place! Motivated, compassionate trainers like Peter are attentive, knowledgeable, and skillful in promoting a cheerful place to shred—and safely!
The best crew ever! The trainers are amazing and make every workout fun. Love being part of 9Round.
I joined 9Round Wicker Park a little over a year ago, and it continues to be a place I look forward to going. I have never been a gym or exercise person, but I knew I wanted to move more and feel stronger at my pace.
New to kickboxing? Start at 9Round Kickboxing Fitness
9Round Kickboxing 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 Kickboxing 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.
