The workout is good, but the pushy sales tactics really turned me off. I came once in the summer of 2022. I was going to be traveling a lot over the summer and so a monthly membership didn't feel like the right fit, but the cost per class for the punch pass didn't feel worth it to me. So I decided against joining even though it was a good workout. Fast forward to January 2023, I received an email inviting me back to try the workout out again. I signed up for another class and had a phone conversation with one of the employees (Kelly?) discussing the various options. During this call, prices were not discussed. I came into the class and the prices were shown and explained, along with the packages. They require you to buy their HR monitor and gloves, which I wasn't super interested in because I already own three HR monitors and can see my HR in real time on my Apple Watch. The pricing did not feel competitive to me - I believe the package I had been planning on was now $19/class for ~30 minute classes. I believe I can get a much better value for my money elsewhere. Kelly was very pushy that I select the package I wanted before the workout and when I told her I had to think about whether it would fit into my budget she seemed very unhappy and guilted me about this being my second free workout. I probably should have just walked out then but I had already given up half my lunch break driving there and having the conversation so I did the workout and left with no plans to return. Again, I like the workout (it's a great amount of cardio packed into 30 minutes and I'm definitely sore after) but I do not like the sales tactics and the guise of being invited back to try the workout again only to be bombarded and guilted upon not being ready to sign a contract that day. I just wouldn't expect that sort of treatment from a locally owned business. read more

I've been working out at 9Round for a year and a half now and can't recommend it enough! Workouts are varied day to day and challenging but modifiable for all abilities. They're each only 30 minutes long, but you get a full body workout and won't be able to finish without breaking a sweat! The program is HIIT style with lots of cardio and core work, and you need only minimal equipment (hand wraps and gloves, which you can get when you join). Since the initial pandemic closures, they've been able to safely reopen with new protocols in place, but they also now offer a vast library of virtual workouts that you can complete remotely on your own time as well as live Zoom workouts with the trainers a few times a week. I've been taking advantage of these options and working out from the comfort of my own home or even while traveling. I miss the trainers and their encouragement and assistance, but I appreciate everything the club has done to help members stay connected and enthusiastic about their fitness! read more

Update:: two years later and through a pandemic, 9Round is still me therapy. They are EXTREMELY sanitary and clean throughout the whole Covid time, they also offer online workouts and zooms for those still uncomfortable with going into the gym. Gym-goers are spaced out as to stay safely away from others and the trainers wear masks at all times. Super thankful for 9Round. Original :: I must RAVE about this company and specifically, the Charlottesville 9Round locations. I won a free month from entering at a local race last June. I was instantly became addicted. I walk in there sluggish and even in pain from many auto immune and health issues, then walk out feeling awesome and drenched in sweat. I have never kick boxed before and the trainers assisted me from beginning to end with every detail at every "round" along with wrapping my hands properly. Now I am able to wrap my hands at red lights on the way in. There are 9 rounds and each round is 3 minutes and a different work out. It is a full-body workout every time. In just a half hour, you get destroyed (in a good way). The trainers hop in with you and not only help with your posture, but pick up pads and have you punch/kick with them. I have learned so much and have experienced my body doing things this week that I couldn't even do last week. The trainers modify any exercise if needed for every person. There are weekly competitions. This week it was competing (against yourself and others ) to see how many jumps on a jump rope you can get in a three minute time. I have been going before work or after work almost everyday. I feel stronger. I feel healthier, I sleep better and yet have more energy throughout the day. My husband and I are also trying the 9Round protein shake in the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor. On their website under nutrition, I found a Shamrock Shake recipe and honestly, it tastes EXACTLY like the McDonalds Shamrock Shake without the guilt. I literally love this company and specifically the Pantops location. Kellie and Rachel are FANTASTIC. The one complaint I have is the hours. Working full-time and trying to get a workout in is difficult, so I rush there after work or wake up real early to go, then wash off with baby wipes and dry shampoo since there is no shower. I definitely look forward to working out everyday at 9Round. read more

9Round Kickboxing Fitness - Trainers Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I love 9Round! I almost don't even want to write a review because I want to keep it a secret! I just started here a few weeks ago and have made it part of my routine. The workouts change daily and are tough (but modifiable if you need). I also usually feel sore after, which to me is a very good thing. Since it is a circuit there is no class time which is super convenient for people with unpredictable schedules. The trainers are also all very motivating and have seriously magical abilities when it comes to remembering everybody's name. It's also a great value -- half the price of any other boutique gym around here. read more

Joined once. Advertises personal training but really one person just runs around, spends a few seconds with you then keeps running around. Mostly a bad review for the rude interaction when I'd called to cancel. They'd got a payment or two out of me even though I stopped going. The renewal charge hit again and I finally called to cancel. When I questioned about the charge that just renewed for the upcoming month that I wasn't going to use, the owner was stone cold with me and kept cutting me off. Not apologetic or down-to-earth about it, just icy and mean. read more

I would 100% recommend a 9Round gym to anyone, but this location specifically! Not only are the trainers motivating, but they make a personal effort in your improvement each and every visit. My home gym is a South Carolina location, though each time I visit Virginia I feel more than welcomed here. Give this gym a try ASAP!...unless you don't like to have a great time and sweat a lot, then I guess you probably shouldn't. read more

I Love 9Round! I have been going for about a year now and its the best thing I have done. I would always get bored at gyms, but this gym with their trainers are the BEST!!!! What really got me was being able to track my heart rate in real time with the heart rate monitor. read more

Customer service was not good. My friends and I went for the free first kickboxing class. Apparently we had gone once before, 3 years ago, but didn't remember and regardless, it was 3 years ago. The website let us go through with signing up for the free first class, and I even got a call confirming it. However, upon check in, the girl stated that because we had been there ONCE 3 YEARS AGO, we would have to pay $25 for the class that was confirmed as free. The gym only had 1 customer inside, and now they lost 3 new ones. Had my friends and I been allowed to try out the class, I would've considered purchasing a class pass. It would've been good customer service and marketing to allow us to take the class as previously discussed. But now I know why they only had 1 person in the gym. read more

I'm completely shocked to have to write how disappointed I am in 9Round. I was very excited about my membership initially, despite how expensive it is. Now that my contract is coming to an end I wish I had never joined in the first place. Under no circumstances should you sign a year long contract. They are extremely predatory, watch your bank account like a hawk if you get a membership. read more
