I've been coming here for about a year and it's been such a great experience. The trainers are super friendly and motivating. They really push you to challenge yourself but in a supportive way. The community is also awesome. People are welcoming and the vibe is very positive. It's a great place if you want a good workout and a supportive environment. read more

Today marks my 831st workout, and I can't wait to celebrate my 3- year anniversary at 9Round. I have been training here almost every day, and I can say with confidence that this is more than just a gym--it is a community. The no-class-time model is incredibly efficient for a busy schedule; I never have to stress about a clock, I just show up and get to work. What makes this place truly special, however, is the warm and inclusive atmosphere: A Personal Touch: From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by name. There is a genuine culture of kindness where members cheer each other on through every round. Celebrating Milestones: One of my favorite parts is how we celebrate each other's progress. Whether it's a 100-workout milestone or a 500-workout achievement, the trainers and members make sure your hard work is recognized. Expert Coaching: The trainers are the perfect blend of professional and encouraging. They provide expert technical guidance while ensuring you feel motivated to push past your limits. read more

The perfect gym! Today was my first class and I'm very happy with the workout, the energy of everyone there, and the playlist is great. The trainers are so supportive and personable. It's a full body workout with kickboxing - name a better combo. So glad to have found this gym. Best part is you don't have to schedule a class, just show up when it works for your schedule. Personally, it's convenient with balancing work life, my family, and time for myself. Thanks Brandon and Ceze!! read more

I had seen this gym's various locations all throughout the bay and we finally had a chance to try it out! We came in and met Ceez, who is extremely friendly and a great instructor. She gave very informative details regarding form and how to get the technique down for each exercise. I have done some in-person kickboxing classes a while back and most of my experience is from the online workouts on the mirror / lululemon studio. So her instruction helped clarify some things that I wouldn't have learned. Although it is only 30 minutes, it is certainly a very cardio heavy workout and I was sweating profusely ten minutes in. It's funny as my partner mentioned before we entered if a 30 minute workout would be worth it and it most certainly was. I was doing AMRAPs for each exercise and I loved how one of the stations you were able to spar with the instructor. 30 minutes quickly passed and I felt quite a bit of adrenaline. We both certainly got a great workout and it was a stellar way to start off the day. read more

9Round is an incredibly welcoming and supportive community where I've truly found a sense of belonging. I discovered 9Round while searching for something low-pressure to get me out of the house, help me focus on my fitness goals, and give me space to do something just for me. I had always been curious about kickboxing or boxing, but as a single woman, it felt a little intimidating. So when I walked in and was quickly surrounded by fun, strong women who reflect the full personality and spirit of San Leandro. The workouts are a high-energy mix of cardio and strength training, all while learning real punching and kicking techniques. (I had no idea there were so many types of bags, but learning how to use each one and feeling myself improve session by session makes me feel like I'm leveling up--in a safe space that feels more like a supportive classroom than a gym.) But honestly, my favorite thing about 9Round isn't the workout--it's the people. I joined right at the tail end of Covid, and on only my second visit, a trainer saw me walk in, smiled, and greeted me by name. That moment caught me off guard in the best way. I felt seen. Since then, every trainer I've met has greeted me with that same genuine energy, care, and encouragement. That small act of remembering my name turned a new activity into a place where I feel like I belong. Now, 9Round isn't just something I do--it's a part of my week that I look forward to. I've found community, confidence, and honestly...it's a fun excuse to hit things. TL;DR: I came looking for a workout and found something much deeper: a place where I feel strong, supported, and like I truly belong. read more

9Round San Leandro is the best!! I was very intimidated by kickboxing at first, but was convinced last year to give it a try. I ended up loving it a lot! I feel stronger, healthier, and my posture improved. Thank you to Ceez and Ray for building such a safe and uplifting community. read more

As a long-time member of 9Round (6 years and counting!), I've watched this business grow/evolve since 2018. One of the most noticeable differences that sets this 9round apart from the other specialty gyms (i.e., Orange Theory, etc) is the community. Once you get to know some of the members, 9Round feels more like a gym family rather than just a destination to workout. TRAINERS: This team is truly amazing! There is an understanding that members who walk through those doors range from all fitness levels. If modifications are needed, they'll be more than happy to accommodate. The motivational energy is off-the-rails, which definitely keeps me coming back week after week. They genuinely care and really take the time to invest in the progress of their members. If you're new to the fitness space, don't feel intimidated! The owners, Ray and Ceez, and their fantastic team will guide you to success on your fitness journey! HOURS OF OPERATION: The gym is open 365 days/year, from 5am-10pm. No class times. There are specific trainer-led hours and self-guided. As of this writing, the TRAINER-LED hours are as follows: Monday: 5:30AM - 10:00AM; 4:00PM - 7:30PM Tuesday: 5:30AM - 10:00AM; 4:00PM - 7:30PM Wednesday: 5:30AM - 10:00AM; 4:00PM - 7:30PM Thursday: 4:00PM - 7:30PM Friday: 5:30AM - 10:00AM Saturday: 8:00AM - 10:30AM Sunday: Self-guided ONLY WORKOUT SPACE: Everything is tidy and clean! If you decide to go in during trainer-led hours, prepare to sweat buckets. It's a full-body workout every day, with a mix of cardio, strength training, core, and boxing. Some days may have a greater emphasis on upper or lower body, but every muscle is definitely activated by the end of your 30-minute workout. If you can't make the trainer-led hours or if you prefer to utilize the self-guided option, there is a workout screen above each round, showing you the proper form and execution for each exercise. If you're gym-hunting, stop by and give this 9Round a try! Highly recommended (speaking from experience)! read more

I was looking for a gym to join to get myself moving regularly and 9Round has become my go to. All the trainers are amazing and motivating!

I worked out at 9Round San Leandro for a few months to get back into boxing. From before becoming a member, Ray and the team were so kind and caring. - I like the style of 9Round because you aren't tied to a specific class start time - Ray and the trainers somehow always remember who you are (crazy skill in itself) and always welcome you when you enter and say bye when you leave - The trainers get a sense of who you are to learn when and how much to push you to get better and stronger - The playlists are always great and pump you up - There are multiple payment plans depending on what you're looking for - The front right side of the studio is met with cubbies for your belongings, hand sanitizer, and tool to roll your hand wraps, and a whiteboard with birthdays and class numbers - The front left side of the studio is where you check in, register for memberships, speak to trainers, etc. The only complaint I have is that this studio isn't closer to where I live, or I would continue going here. And that's obviously something that isn't even their fault! In all seriousness, if you're looking for a great workout where you will get stronger and sweat, a place with amazing trainers, and a place with flexible hours, this is a great gym to join. read more

9Round Kickboxing Fitness - Hours - Kickboxing Near Me - San Leandro, California

I was introduced to this gym by my wife's nephew. I tried their first workout free program and was very delighted with the workout I received. I was not pressured at all to buy membership which I really liked because I don't like to be pushed very heavily for the sales sake. My wife and I joined the next day for three months (which we extended for an additional month!) We started going consistently and these workouts are a killer! I didn't realize how much of a workout you can get with just thirty minutes. The gym workout everything from cardio, to muscle strengthening. The only reason we did not continue our membership is because we moved out of town. Raymond is a great trainer and he really cares to ensure that you get the most out of the workouts and he is always happy to help to make sure that you are doing the workouts with proper form! If you stop in for your first free work out, ask for Raymond! If I'm ever in the area again, I will make sure to stop by 9round San Leandro! read more

I had a great time and a great workout here. The minute I walked in I was greeted by a friendly community and coaches that challenged me and supported me. Ray and Ceez are awesome trainers and provided helpful corrections for me as a beginner. They also had screens at each station that displayed each move. Station 6 was my favorite because you get some 1-1 time for combos. I would definitely recommend this gym! read more

It's great to get back into kickboxing. The owner's Ray and Ceez are nice people. They are eager to help and provide great feedback on technique. read more

Soft opening on (Wednesday) February 26 and (Thursday) February 27 from 8 am - 12 pm and 3 pm - 7 pm. Heard that the first session is free. The format is flexible 30-minutes with no set start or end time. The work out changes daily. There's a trainer that goes around correcting your form. Going to leave a real review once I have tried it out more. More to come, yelp fam read more

I have only been a member at 9round for 2 months now and already I love this place! All of the trainers are super friendly and approachable. They are always pushing me to get the greatest workout in possible. Special shout-out to the owners Ray and Ceez for making me feel so welcome. This place is like a second home to me. I highly recommend anyone to check out this place. This is one of the best boxing gyms I have been to. So worth 30 minutes to an hour of your time! The gym is also very clean and well taken care of. Take 30 minutes of your time and stop by this place! Thank you to the rest of the staff Luisa, Kelly, Clara, Roberto, Angel, and Steve for always taking care of us! :) read more

Words of advise?GO INSIDE AND HAVE A TRY! your first workout is free. and when you decide to join, DON'T LEAVE YOUR GLOVES!!!!! I'm the type of person that HATES gyms, all of the weights and machines? Hard pass! I'd probably be one of the girls you see using the machines wrong at the gym. I wanted a gym that would help me lose weight/tone and someone to show me what to do cause I don't know anything. Personal trainers a effing expensive so that wasn't an option either. The workouts go fast you have 9 rounds 3 mins each with active rest in between rounds. You can easily burn 400 cal in 30 mins! if you want to go again, you're more than welcome to and you can come AS MANY TIMES as you want/month. You will always have a trainer guide you through any exercise. The "exercises" are different everyday which makes it interesting. This is also one of the healthier ways to distress. Someone pissed you off? Head to 9 round and kick/punch the sh*t out of the bags. NOT ALL 9ROUNDS ARE CREATED EQUAL. They might have the same equipment, but note the same set of trainers.You will receive support from both the trainers and the members, everyone here is welcoming. Ray(the owner) really takes the time to met everyone and greet you as soon as you walk through the door, what gym owner does that? Each trainer brings something different to the table. Ray and Cece(Ray's wife/Co-owner) will work with you and discuss your membership needs Angel(I call him demonyo but he is also the manager) loves to to joke and bicker with you. Ray and Angel like to modify the exercises to push you or help you meet your goal. Angel also enjoys torturing you with burpees. Prof Drei. awww man she will push you but in a way only a professor can you may die but she will also make you love it! Hannah(AKA VanillaBean) She's sweet and friendly, if you are looking for a friend at the gym she will be the one to go to. If you have question she's guick to show you! Steve takes the time to show you the proper form and guides you on how to do the exercise correctly to get the most out of the work out. Taylor( AKA CYBORG) IDK how she does what she does, if she's not a trainer, she's working out and will still try and push you. She likes to make the round more "fun". She's given me helpful pointers and she's also really funny! Luisa is also wonderful! Just like Hannah, she can be a friend but she will guide you through the workout. Overall, this place kicked my ass but I've enjoyed every minute of it. If you aren't a gym girl, but you want to make healthier choices, I recommended this place. It's amazing how much I craved going there. I've lost about 10 lbs for less than a month there, while eating burgers and! My friend/husband has noticed a difference in my butt! read more

This gym is what you're looking for! Workouts are killers! The trainers know how to gauge to their members capabilities and knows when to give them a push for a worth it cardio and sweat. The gym is very neat and organized, bathroom essentials are a bonus! Trainers are easy to get along with and are very understanding to their members needs. It's not only the workout that keeps me from going on a daily but also the community that this gym give. If you're here thinking if you should give it a try, I highly recommend you do! Look for Ceez or Ray and they will give you the best experience. read more

This is an overdue review. I've been coming here for some time. I wanted to change up my work out to a more cardio style routine vs boot camp/CrossFit. Cardio Kickboxing is more my speed now a days. The owners and trainers are ALL wonderful & personable! I like how the workouts are different everyday and you definitely sweat! I enjoy the atmosphere and everyone goes at their own pace. Most that's been going to this location have been members for a long time - that says A LOT! TYSM 9Rounds SL, you all are the best!! ~Marie May-Pow read more

The best kickboxing gym in the area! Such a fun experience with a great setup, music, staff and owners. The workouts are great and the personalized one on one freestyles you get during your workout are even better. There aren't many gyms where staff take the time to get to know members and help them achieve goals. If you're looking for a gym that's more than just a gym and you're not just a member, check it out! read more

You may walk in and think to yourself... "what the f**k is going on?!" That's what crossed my mind when I walked in. You could feel the energy as you walk into the place. Music playing, loud whistle sounds, the trainers yelling variations of "NEXT ROUND!" "THIRTY SECONDS!" "BUTT KICKERS!" "JUMPING JACKS!" .. I was overwhelmed at first to say the least. As a working girl who was searching for variations in her workout other than lifting at 24, I stumbled upon this place on Google and the reviews brought me here for my free trial. I was greeted by the owner Cece who was super friendly and answered any and all dumb questions I had. She walked me through the layout of the workout. The breakdown is 9 stations, 3 minutes at each station. It's like a mix of HIIT and boxing. The staff was so understanding and friendly as it was my first time. They made me feel so welcome even though I had no idea what I was doing at first LOL. By the end of the class I learned some new workouts and skills and was dripping with sweat. All in 30 minutes. You can pretty much come in whenever you want and it's much more affordable than other workout places I've tried. I will definitely be back. Thank you Cece! read more

Honestly one of the worst gyms I been too don't waste ur money !! The trainers fat shame and don't spend quality time with their clients I recommend any other location but this one !! read more

I was waiting to get to 100 workouts before I wrote this review. The reason being that I get bored easily & wanted to see if this would keep my interest. I joined in April 2019 & LOVED my first workout. I went from going 0-1 times/week at my old gym to going 4-5 times/week at 9round. HOW IT WORKS: It's a 30 minute workout. There are 9 stations where you do a specific exercise for 3 minutes. In between each round there is a 30-second active rest. The workout stations change daily which makes it fun. I also appreciate the set up in that I don't have to spend time scrolling through Instagram looking for ideas on what to do. The staff at this gym make it a point to get to know their members & keep you motivated. I specifically want to point out Cece who took the time to hear me complain about my weight & has since been on my BUTT about pushing myself when I'm there. Thanks, y'all! read more

While I love my boutique fitness - I can't justify SoulCycle, Rumble, Barry's, etc at $34/class 3x a week. 9Round, especially in San Leandro has helped me find a fitness community closer to home with as much effectiveness than those other workouts. Also, it's something my husband and I can do together despite our different fitness levels and is very convenient to home, without having to deal with class times. My only wish is they have hours on Sunday! Ray and Angel have created a solid community for many different fitness levels and their staff is always friendly, always remembers you and pushes you but knows when to hold back. They create a non-pretentious vibe so it's always super welcoming to anyone. I've noticed a physical difference especially when you go at least 3x a week. Though it's busiest around 6pm or so, the staff does their best to manage when load everyone in whether to share or have your own round to yourself. Really enjoying our membership! Advice to any first timers, your first class is free. If it's hard, don't sweat or get discouraged: You really get better the more you go. When I started I couldn't even jump rope very well, and I've improved. The Speedbag, though intimidating at first, you find the groove over time. read more

There are closer places to get an exercise in but there is nothing that delivers the experience, the atmosphere, the positivity and encouragement that Ceez and Ray do at 9Round. You can tell these are people who care and it shows in their determination in you reaching your goals and their positive spirits towards all those around them. If you're looking for a welcoming place to earn your goals, then this is it! read more

Just started. Really enjoyed the first workout. Thought the trainer (Angel) was super chill and reasonable. No fake enthusiasm or overly zealous personality, which I hate about a lot of specialty gyms like this (e.g. SoulCycle, OrangeTheory Fitness, or any class at 24 Hour Fitness.) But rather he felt like an encouraging coach like at any boxing gym, MMA school, or jiujitsu school I've been to. Done a lot of different styles but I don't have the time to train like I did anymore, so I really enjoy just being able to walk into a place with flexible schedules, chill environment and get a boxing/kickboxing-like workout. Great place and open early which is what I need! Looking forward to more workouts. read more

As a working professional, I was looking for a gym that provided me with very specific offerings: 1) Quick efficient work out (no standing around, waiting for stations..etc) 2) All around full body workout (head to toe) 3) Stress reliever (lifting weight is great but beating the crap out of the bag while exercising focus is a WHOLE new level of stress relieve) 4) Trainers that don't make you feel awkward or lacking 5) Flexibility (no need to make appointments. Go in anytime) 6) Comfortable workout environment (it's small but everything you need is there) I'm happy to say that after trying out multiple institutions (soul cycle, 24hr fitness, Rumble boxing, Zumba, Orange Theory, Yoga...etc) that 9Rounds checks off ALL the boxes. I can be in and out within 35 minutes. Soaked through my shirt with sweat (TMI). Exhausted but feeling accomplished and refreshed. Knowing that each day, the workout will be different gives me a sense of relief knowing that I'm continuously pushing my body, improving every aspect of my muscles. The encouragement from the trainers is enough but not too over baring. There were many times after my 9 rounds that i wanted to go back and keep working on a specific round and the trainers encourage that. They WANT you to go another 9 rounds if you can. Never rushing you to leave so that others can go. I'd recommend this gym and these trainers 10x's over. Great place to get fit and keep fit. read more

Just sign up already!!!! From beginner to advanced they have you covered. Such a warm and welcoming environment. They are passionate about encouraging your fitness and health.They appreciate and have much love for their members. In 30 minutes you will easily burn 350 calories build muscle and shrink!!! Thank you 9Round !!! read more

I am very happy I joined! I'm super new to kickboxing and am super out of shape haha but I NEVER feel inferior and everyone is so friendly and helps out. Raymond and Angel are great. Theyre fun and also help me when I need to correct something. Also, Raymond and Angel are so kind and generous because they helped me jump start my car when it died there, made sure I was okay and checked in on me frequently when I was waiting for a tow truck. I felt safe. Very happy here, I recommend :) read more

I love this place! Having fun, learning to box and getting exercise too! Great workout & great coach's! They allow kids to do the workout and me and my son are loving it! read more

This place will kick your butt. Came here to try and switch up my workout and it did not disappoint. 30 minutes does not sound like much and 3 minutes at each station sounds like nothing but it killed me. I appreciate the set up and how they have these little lights and bells that help you know when to move on. By far just having to jump rope for 3 minutes straight was exhausting. And it only intensifies from there. But I absolutely loved it. My only this is I wish there was a way I could buy a class pack so I can come in whenever I want to switch up my routine bc I'm not quite ready to quit my other gym yet and I can't justify the cost if I'm only going to once/twice a week. That being said I'm a big fan and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. And I'm super tempted to see if I can go for drop in classes once in a while. read more

I didn't believe in working out.. I just played sports. But as I got older I played less and less because I needed to do responsibilities. Surprise. I wasn't fit anymore. I tried 9 round and I'm addicted. I love no class times!! It's hard to fit it in when you are a mom of 3, counting my husband, son and my dog. Lol. I love that the exercises change daily and they give you instruction on every excercise. I often want to give up and they push... I would never push myself. I am so so happy with the fam at 9 round!! It's my physical activity that contributes to my overall mental health!! read more

Something new and a great routine to start for all fitness levels. You get put through the ringer as you go through nine, three minute rounds of various exercises. They can vary from cardio, pad work or old fashioned sweat therapy. Angel and Ray are very hands on and very thorough with there explanations of each exercise. You will sweat and get a great pump to your experience and you can be in and out within 30 minutes or more of you choose to push yourself. It's fairly inexpensive and you can work around your schedule depending on what time you can come in whether in the morning or evenings. Space is small but you can rotate as needed and the trainers can shuffle you around as people come and go. Great workout and very motivational people and trainers. Love it and this new wave of training can take you to the next level and beyond. read more

9Round Kickboxing Fitness - Daily business hours - Kickboxing Near Me - San Leandro, California

Good flexible class schedule, clean and professional, good vibe and excellent workouts.

I made it extremely clear that I did not want a recurring charge on my credit card and yet I still received a charge. I made strong efforts to make sure that it was understood and they had assured me that I would not get charged the recurring amount. It is no wonder I do not trust gyms and fitness clubs that take my credit card info. First you overcharge me and then you charge my card without authorization? They need to make a better effort to accommodate those who do not want to be stuck in a commitment. If there is no way of participating without a commitment then do not make assurances for those who want to just drop in. The owner quickly reached out and made an effort to correct things. I understood the mistake and decided that despite the surprising and charge I received, this was a good place to go. read more

I'm approaching 3 months of being a member and I absolutely love this place! I actually look forward to my workouts. I was looking for a gym that checked a few boxes and this place was it. 1- affordable 2- quick yet effective workouts 3- structured workouts 4- staff that is personable, not intimidating 9Round checked all of these! It was one of the more affordable options and you could go in as many times as you please. You could double up and go for an hour or even every day. I haven't got to that point yet, but it's good to know that it is an option. The workouts are 30 minutes- there are 9 rounds 3-minutes each with 30 seconds active rest in between each. 4-5 of those rounds require the boxing gloves and incorporate punching and/or kicking combos mixed with other exercises. At first I was skeptical about how effective a 30-minute workout could be, but trust me, you will be dripping in sweat by the end of it. The workouts change daily and somehow always remain challenging. There are trainers there to show you what the next round is in case you are unfamiliar with the exercises. Everything is planned out for you and written on a board at each round. The trainers are part of what makes this gym so enjoyable. Everyone I've met so far are very welcoming, easy going, and never make you feel intimidated. They are extremely helpful and push you in a way that's appropriate for your fitness level. Also, I think it's a nice touch that the majority of the time you are greeted by name as you walk through the door. I'm not sure how they remember so many names, but it's impressive. Only three months in and I've already lost a good amount of inches, my clothes fit better and I feel physically stronger. A vast improvement from day one. I can't wait to see the physically changes in the coming months. Give this place a try. Your first workout is free. Chances are you'll be hooked. read more

I absolutely love it here! I've been a member for almost a month now and I'm seriously addicted (like in a really good way!) Angel, Ray and the other coaches I've met so far are all awesome. They're easy going, personable, supportive and full of positive energy (always!) As a mama of two young kiddos it's not always easy to make time for yourself, but with the flexibility that 9round San Leandro offers I've been able to make time for me again this year and I'm super grateful! Whether you are brand new to kickboxing or have done it in the past you will love each and every workout. I promise you'll leave feeling stronger each and every time! read more

I LOVE 9 Round San Leandro! The trainers are great and the workouts change daily. I've tried many different styles of workouts and fitness classes. 9 Round is great for a variety of fitness levels. You can bring your individual amount of intensity and/or modify workouts for more or less of a challenge. I'm always sore and I can rely on the traniers for help, encouragement, and guidance. Angel and Ray are AWESOME and passionate about the business and its members! They're knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and I look forward to seeing them at each workout. I definitely recommend to anyone looking to switch up your workout and meet some great people. A word of advice: check the gym hours, they're less conventional than most gyms. Be sure it works with your schedule. No class times just show up. read more

Great support from the staff and always a good workout! I was really out of shape and achy from over a year of inactivity when I started. I'm improving weekly and I feel much better over all. I'm thankful to the trainers for being patient with me and keeping me motivated. read more

I really enjoyed the workout! It was fast and kept me moving. I tried the work out class a while ago with two of my friends. Please take the time to check these guys out. They did a fantastic job and the facility was clean, and they offer great deals​. I have not returned, and I fully planned on returning, but I hurt my wrists before I tried the class, when I probably shouldn't have. I fell very hard while ice skating in feb. and my wrists have been and are sore now, and I am unable to ​move them without cracking. read more
