From the reviews
In the immortal words of N*sync, "bye, bye, bye" to my dad bod! I was in a rut and needed a workout that wasn't just weights and, let's be honest, running endlessly sucks as cardio. 9Round is exactly what I needed. Weights, cardio, get out some anger and feel great.
Great workout in 33 minutes with great friendly, courteous and nice trainers that will motivate and push you through your work out. I look forward to getting there every day after work. I do not kiss up or like to leave reviews just because, so I mean it.
Fantastic physical and mental strengthening, no matter your skill level. The trainers at 9round are top-notch professionals who will provide you with everything you need to be successful.
I had my first experience with 9Round in 2016 when they open the Glenview location and I fell in love with the format. I went a few other gyms since then, but I am finally back to my first love. When I found out 9ROUND Northbrook was giving members 24 hours access that was the deciding factor for me.
New to kickboxing? Start at 9Round Kickboxing Northbrook
9Round Kickboxing Northbrook 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 Northbrook
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.
