From the reviews
One of the first structured workouts where I really felt like my beginner level didn’t matter - Amber had modifications ready for every round so I could do the workout at my level and still get my heart rate up. Definitely worth the membership - you can get in and out in 35 minutes which is perfect for my busy life.
Walking into a new gym can be intimidating, especially when you're not the most social person in workout settings (me). From day one, though, 9Rounds felt welcoming, friendly, and genuinely supportive. The atmosphere is positive without being overwhelming. The workouts are solid, effective, and adaptable.
9Round is the ultimate workout! It takes almost no time at all (just 30 minutes) and the first workout is free so there is no pressure to sign up right away. From the first time I walked in the doors, I have absolutely loved this place.
9Round and Amber are the best! After years of working out at the YMCA or similar type gyms, I have found one that is motivating, fun, and easy to fit in any schedule. This workout has completely changed my body composition. The monthly community events Amber hosts are very fun and welcoming.
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.
