There are hundreds of options for people who want to start an exercise regiment in any given town. From full blown weight training gyms to peaceful yoga studios. Each individual has to take account of their personal needs and wants and balance them against what is offered at said places. This review is for me and why 9Round fit my needs, perfectly. I hope that if these same requisites are in your corner, you step into a 9Round and try it for yourself. I am busy with a job, a year old child, and restarting school as that weird 40 year old in class. I do not have time or energy to decide on a given day what exercises I accomplish. I also lose motivation quickly once my work shoes come off. I have the soft but loveable dad bod and a spare tire for when I get a flat. I do not enjoy group follow the leader workouts or being peered at by bicep bunnies who wanna know what you lift. BUT I do enjoy someone else making a plan of workouts for me, quick but effective mix-it-up styled regiments and motivation based training, loud music, and most of all punching. Sometimes you just gotta hit a bag and release your cares away. This is why 9Round worked and works for me. We all have our favorite based rounds, and the ones we loath. 3 minutes seems an eternity when you are stuck on the reverse bridge anything, and an instant when freestyling on a bag. Some trainers motivate through encouragement, others thru directed pain, others with laughter and others with a 'Rocky' based mindset. The great thing is, if you happen to be with one youre not so fond of..its 30 minutes, and you can pretend its their face you are sweating on or gently nudging with your glove. Personally I needed motivation to get back into a healthy lifestyle. In 6 weeks I learned alot about myself and the needs to accomplish those goals. I also learned I could ACTUALLY lose weight and get stronger! I didnt personally notice my loss and gains til towards the end. I put on a pair of pants that lo and behold, fit...loosely. Such a little accomplishment meant a great deal to me. My two recommendations to 9Round if they are taking them are: I know how hard it is to have an extra person there while workouts occur to be there for customer service only, sometimes discussing things that dont go quickly while they are instructing is very unaccomidating and can put off someone new or trying to question what 9 Round is, so if down the line that could be plausible would be excellent. And two, have 2 gyms connected, one side for experienced & one side for new and learning people so us flailing sweaty outofbreathers dont feel so bad (just a joke but could be cool. Two sets of workout levels and if you wanted could do one in the am and one in the pm). Overall my experience was beyond positive because I put the effort in, heeded trainer advice, followed the program and worked it. Nothing will come from failing to do so and can not be blamed on nobody but ourselves. If you go to a 9Round I recommend to start small, dont overdo it, dont show off, its a learning ladder to guide you to the top. Make your gains feel like gains by achieving small battles and goals in your mind. Dont look at the person next to you and compare, we all are on different days, schedules and styles. But do keep a positive outlook on all things. From start to finish your mind will be racing with questions, answer them accordingly. I did. And I lost 22lbs in 6 weeks. And im not even done yet. read more

I love the atmosphere! Every trainer is willing to show you, better you, encourage you, be real with you and motivate you! I have been welcomed EVERY time that I walk in the door and sent out the door with an Atta Girl for my workout! I LOVE the fact that there is no set class time, you just gotta show up! The support system is far and wide, from personal when you are in the gym and seeing either trainers or other members out in public, to text messages from the club and owners, to FB groups. I struggled a lot in the beginning but always felt so great/accomplished when I finished and the following day. My results, in terms of the scale seemed slow TO ME, but people were noticing the way that my clothes fit by the end of the second week and that was hugely motivating to go more often and go harder while I was there. My teenage kids are noticing my muscle development and in 5 short weeks, I have increased my strength and stamina by so much and am looking forward to the next days, weeks, months and years! read more

I have found a new passion and that is working out/kickboxing. Thanks to 9 round and all the amazing trainers and style of workout I find working out fun and motivating. I actually want to go to the gym and I feel like I'm pushing myself harder then I ever have in my life. The only thing I don't recommend personally is the 6 week challenge but thats if you don't have much to lose and your already at a healthy BMI to start with. Losing 5% body fat is really hard when you are already healthy and at a good weight before the challenge even starts. This challenge has been nothing but stress and disappointment. (But that's just me) If you have weight to lose and believe in yourself to put money on the line then by all means let 9round help you reach your goal and hopefully you'll find a passion in working out/kickboxing as well. read more

I absolutely love 9Round! The atmosphere and all the trainers are so positive, and encouraging! I typically get very self conscious about working out in front of other people, and worry that I'm going to look like an idiot and/or be judged for not being able to do something, but I can 100% say I have NEVER felt any of those things here! All the trainers are amazing at keeping you going, and pushing you to do more than you think you can, but also teaching you along the way, and working with you at your individual level. In the few short weeks I've been going I can already see major improvements in my physical and mental strength, in my body, my capabilities, and my over all health! 9Round is the life-changer I've been needing needing for so long!! read more

I have struggled with weight loss for years. It always seems what works for everyone else just doesn't work for me, or I have to put in twice the effort for half the result. It seemed like I had literally tried everything with mediocre results..then I found 9Round. Holy. Smokes. It was WAY out of my comfort zone, but the other members and wonderful trainers made me feel so welcomed and comfortable, and in just 6 weeks I'm down nearly 20 lbs!!! The workouts are quick, convenient, and actually pretty fun. If you are looking for results...don't mess around with anything else. I am so grateful to have found this place...I feel like I'm finally getting my life back. :) read more

I started at 9 Round because I don't like the regular gym environment of running on a treadmill and trying to figure out what machines to do to target the areas you want to improve, and also feeling like everyone is looking at you. At 9 Round you walk in an the energy is amazing, the trainers are always inviting and upbeat, the workout is quick and you can defiantly feel your hard work after you're done. The best part is every day is different so you're not doing the same thing day in and day out. They also have meals plans to teach you how to eat to get the results you want. I didn't just lose weight I lost inches! read more

9round Is absolutely the best work out for your money! Its quick, accessible, and you get to work out on your own time with amazing trainers who will help guide you and push you through every step of the way! All of the trainers are personable they learn your name, strengths, and weaknesses to help you get the best workout possible! One of the best parts is 9round absolutely feels like a no judgement zone so you will be 100% comfortable and confident working out! There is seriously not enough good things to say about 9round! read more

I love going to 9 round! I could be feeling not very motivated or having not the best day, but walk in, and just get this energy of "let's do this"! The employees have been super helpful and encouraging, while I have been apart of the their six week challenge!! They teach you and make you feel comfortable and welcomed everytime!! They have got me back on track with health and fitness and I'm excited to be on this path again!!! Thank you 9 round!! read more

The trainers at 9rounds are the best! They keep you motivated, never make you feel like you "cant" they're there to to push you thru it all. Great atmosphere! I have never felt so strong before. From the Minute I walk in the trainers call me by my name. Its nice to see old, young, all different body shapes.. AND WE ARE ALL DOING THE SAME THING WE ARE ALL THERE FOR THE SAME REASONS. I would recommend this gym to anyone! read more

I'll be honest. I'm not a person who really likes to workout. Like at all. So i was a little nervous to start here and come face to face with how badly out of shape i was. Now i actually really like going after sitting behind a desk all day. I love the trainers and how every workout is different, and i love that I'm still going when normally i would've stopped going by now. I'll never go to a different gym again! read more

Love the workouts, trainers, and flexibility! Been an incredible experience! The flexible schedule, the enthusiasm of the trainers and the group atmosphere have kept me on track and motivated! The results are incredible! Starting out, I knew I had a lot of work to do, but the trainers were encouraging and helpful. They push you just to be better than you were a day or a week before. Highly recommend! read more

9 round is an awesome full body work out. The trainers are great, they're encouraging and strive to work with every individual for at least 1 or 2 rounds. It is a fast past, fluid, to the point work out. Anyone who wants to get in shape, gain muscle, lose weight and gain stamina can do it, it only takes 30 to 40 minutes a day. 9 rounds in Billings is the real deal. read more

9rounds is an intense but short workout. It is a great way to work your whole body. I love the workouts, trainers, and the atmosphere. Probably my favorite gym so far. With that being said, if you are thinking about joining, don't do the 6 week challenge. It's not cheap and the goals are a little high. I would suggest just getting a membership and jumping right in. read more

I love this gym! The trainers are so welcoming and they modify workouts whether you are in great shape or are just beginning your journey. There is no judgement here. It is a quick workout but it works! Compared to a personal trainer, it is half the price and I feel more accomplished. I leave this gym feeling satisfied. 10 out of 10. I won't ever stop going here! read more

I'm so excited to be a member at 9Round! It's perfect for me because I have someone pushing me and I don't have a specific class time so I'm never late. Everyone's friendly and encouraging, but the best part is that it's only 30 minutes. Don't be fooled though into thinking it's easy because it's intense the whole time! I would definitely recommend it! read more

I've been going to 9 rounds for 7 months. Best gym experience I've ever had. The trainers are encouraging, helpful and definitely keep you motivated. I love that I can go at anytime. It fits my schedule and I don't have to fit into structured classtimes. The workout is great and the variety keeps it from becoming boring. Love this gym! read more

The trainers are amazing, and so helpful. They really push you, no matter what your experience level, to improve yourself. I have so much fun every class, and the knowledge I have gained in nutrition is amazing. It produces great results in a short amount of time, and I feel in the best health I have been in, in years! read more

My wife and I started 9 rounds a little over 8 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with this gym! The trainers are EXCELLENT and very encouraging! We love that the workouts are 30 minutes and can fit them into our busy schedule! We will continue to work out at 9 rounds and keep crushing our goals! Thank you 9 rounds! read more

I joined 6 weeks ago and cannot believe that I am saying this, but I truly enjoy going to work out. It's amazing to me how much transformation has taken place in 6 short weeks. I have lost weight, inches, and gotten stronger. The trainers are amazing! It means a lot to feel comfortable at a gym from the very start! read more
