From the reviews
I love love love love 9Round Raleigh! The workouts are fun and intense and have completely transformed my body. I don't have to scramble to make it to class on time, the class begins when I arrive! Additionally, I like that I can go at my own pace and get in the "zone".
9Round continues to be a highly addictive workout. I've been a member at 9Round for several years now and can't say enough good things. I love that I can get a full-body workout in just 30 minutes.
Even though I'm only in my trial month at 9Round and have only been a handful of times so far, I have had a great time working out and get such a great workout in everytime.
Becoming an active member of 9round falls River has been such an awesome decision for my husband and I. We joined in March, never having done kickboxing, and we haven’t looked back! The awesome trainers at 9 round make the 30 minutes so fun yet challenging and rewarding.
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.
