I am writing this review on behalf of a close friend of mine who recently visited 9Round Gladstone interested in the 6 week challenge. I am very concerned that 9Round is attempting to sell people on loosing pounds instead of focusing on health. My friend recently visited 9Round to learn about getting back into fitness after recovering from cancer last year. She was looking to get stronger and make healthy choices while her hormones and body are getting back to a new normal. My friend talked to the owner, Angela. Angela turned the focus to "how much weight to you want to loose?" She was told that she was guaranteed to lose 25lbs in 6 weeks. The business model she was told is that she pays $499 today and she gets it back if she looses the weight. If she doesn't loose the weight, 9Round gets to keep the money... I hope that viewers reading this see the flaw in this business model and shift of focus. If someone was recently sick with cancer, the focus really should NOT be on losing pounds to impress friends and boyfriends. The focus should be on leading a happy and healthy life. As my friend prepared to leave the facility, the owner tried to real her in again by saying, "wouldn't your boyfriend be happy if you lost the weight?" Distasteful and truly bullying. Not to mention other people were around to hear this hurtful conversation. This really made my friend feel defeated instead of empowered as she tries to reestablish a healthy relationship with her body after cancer. read more

I joined the 9Round Gladstone location for the 6-week challenge, and at first I was a little skeptical that three 30-minute workouts and a meal plan were going to make an impact. Boy was I wrong. Within the first week, I had already seen a measurable difference both on the scale and in the mirror. By the end of the challenge, I had more energy, better flexibility, higher endurance and cut several inches off my belly. Angela and her team of trainers, specifically Josh and Bear, create an amazing atmosphere and culture. They have a great balance of pushing you to do your best while coaching you on form and technique. My favorite thing about the program is that the workouts are only 30 minutes. I have a very demanding job, a 4-month old baby and I'm working on my MBA, so I don't have a lot of time to workout. But this program allows me to get an amazing workout in during my limited spare time. The meal plan has a few variations, but I found it easiest to make the same items for each meal. I meal-prepped every Sunday and ate the same lunch and same dinner every day. As you can imagine, this got a little boring but changing it up every day took too much time. For anyone looking for a high-intensity, fun, flexible workout that's only 30 minutes and produces amazing results, checkout 9Round Gladstone! read more

I just completed my 6 week challenge and i can proudly say i lost 15 lbs and 6% body fat! But what i have gained is much greater than that. I never thought i would enjoy making healthier choices with food, enjoying a work out, and a body that i haven't seen in a long time! Just having my second child 2 1/2 months ago i had lost almost of my baby weight but like a lot of us clothes just weren't fitting the same, nor did my body look it! Following the meal plan along with the exercise i saw maximum results! I couldn't believe it! I cannot wait to keep going and seeing how much better it can get! Oh and if you're worried about falling off track, you shouldn't, cause you are surrounded by so much support from the owner, to your trainers, to the others just like you wanting to change for the better! It's a community of helping each other succeed and i couldn't be more grateful for it! read more

I just completed the six week challenge. I lost 13 lbs. What I gained is even greater. I have more strength, endurance, and balance. I am able to do rounds that I wasn't able to in the beginning. I am able to complete rounds I couldn't before. Instead of trying to catch my breath between rounds, I am able to do the supplemental exercises. I am able to handle stress so much more. My resting heart rate was in the mid 70's when I started, it is now in the mid 50's. Part of that is getting in better condition and losing weight, but a lot of it is less stress. I joined for a year and cannot wait to see what the next year will bring! read more

I recommend 9round to anyone ready for a lifestyle change. I just completed my 6 week challenge and loved every minute of it! At first I was anxious because I didn't know what to expect and if I could keep up with the intensity but the trainers are all so amazing that I never worried about it after my first session. They pushed me while keeping me motivated and making each workout so much fun. The meal plan was so easy to follow that I didn't feel the need to have a cheat day! Overall I lost 19lbs and feel fabulous! Thank you so much to the entire 9round team! You are the best which is why i signed up for a one year membership! read more

I have to say that after starting the 6 week challenge I really didn't know how out of shape I'd gotten over the years. I truly loved that everytime I went in to work out, the trainer's NEVER had the same workouts as in my previous session. I also really got that feeling that the entire staff genuinely cares about helping you meet your weight loss goal. So I'd tell anyone that this place is the best hands down for weight loss and just getting fit, and feeling GREAT about me again!! So glad I took the first step in taking this challenge on!! read more

I love this place because I don't have to be "on time" to a workout class, get a personal trainer to show me the steps and answer questions as I go through the stations, and I leave feeling like I've been at the gym for hours. It's great for on-the-go types and has the ability to challenge you no matter what your skill level. It easily fits into my hectic schedule and leaves no room for excuses. I can always plan for a 30 minute workout even on the busiest of days. It's a great, efficient workout for people on the go. read more

I just completed the 6 week challenge and I'm so glad I did it !! I am so much stronger and feel so much better. I'm down 19 pounds and I can't believe it. It pushed me to better myself and take charge of my health!!! Everyone here is so supportive and helpful and make you wanna come back for each workout. The diet plan was one of the easiest I have ever followed and made me so much more aware of what I was eating I'm so proud of myself and so glad I stepped foot in 9Round !!! read more

I was nervous at first to join the 6 week challenge, but I am so glad I did it! The trainers are great! One in particular, Charlyne, always tailored the workout to my problem areas. The meal plan was awesome, it was almost too much food at times. Plus, I cannot say enough about the owner, Angela. She was always texting to see if I had any questions or just to send some motivation my way. I loved it so much I joined for a year! read more

I just completed the 6 week challenge. I haven't worked out in 3 years. After 6 weeks, I am 16 pounds lighter, more toned, and have more endurance and energy. Following the meal plan, I no longer have the cravings for sweets and junk food. The trainers are great. They took the time to show me the exercises (multiple times). I finally found a workout that I enjoy and works for me. I only wish I had joined sooner! read more

An awesome place to work out. I have been going for a little over a month and people have said that they have seen results. I haven't seen the pounds come off but the inches have. So excited to be part of the team there. At the gym the trainers are with you during the whole 30 minutes that you are working out. You can always ask questions and they are always there to answer them for you. Thank you 9Round read more

So glad I joined! Thirty minute totally structured workouts were great for balancing working out with my full time job and school. Also the level support the trainers and other members give was such a relief. I used to be intimidated going to the gym but 9round has given me so much confidence! If you are thinking about joining or starting a 6 week challenge I say do it has been so worth it! read more

I love that there are no class times. I get off work at a different time every day and this fits my schedule perfectly. I love the trainers and how they motivate me to do more than I think I'm capable of doing. I love that it is different every day and feels new and fresh. I never get bored. I love that it kicks my ass EVERY single time. read more

Tonight was my first workout at 9round Fitness and it is definitely what I've been looking for. For 30 minutes, it was one of the best workouts I've found and the trainers were great! I like how they change their workouts daily so it's never the same. I can't wait to keep going and see the results from it! read more

The entire experience is wonderful! I love the community that is built amongst the 9 Rounders, and the connections between the community and the trainers. Not only is it a fantastic workout, it is a place I genuinely look forward to going back to! Which is amazing considering how sore I am every week! read more
