From the reviews
9Round Matthews is THE BEST place to work out! I love the fact that I can get a full body workout in 30 minutes in the fun and challenging way of kickboxing. A 9Round workout is top notch, but the experience is made even better by the superior trainers and leaders at the Matthews location.
I have been a member for almost 2 years now. I can’t say enough good things about this location. Brooke(the owner) is amazing. Her staff of trainers are friendly and committed to helping you get a workout tailored to your needs. The gym is always clean and well maintained.
9 round Matthews is more than just a gym. They have become family! The energy is always upbeat, the trainers are top notch. I love knowing that I will be pushed to do my best plus some each and everytime I walk through those doors. Brooke and her team are amazing & truly care about what they do.
The atmosphere at 9Round Matthews is upbeat, and positive. Brooke, the owner has assembled a great team of trainers that cater to a person’s individual goals and needs. As part of the early morning workout squad I enjoy feeling like part of a little family that keeps each other motivated and accountable .
New to kickboxing? Start at 9Round - Matthews
9Round - Matthews 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 - Matthews
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.
