I do the same thing as all the other people there but they modify everything for me so I am able to work to my maximum without getting injured and no sparring. The trainers pay a lot of attention to everyone and really know what we are capable of doing. I have only been doing it a month and my balance is better and my form has improved (slightly) and I am a bit stronger. It is actually a lot of fun and I didn't expect that. I really look forward to going and it is such a different activity I also think this is good for my brain. I really can't say enough good things about this club.

Found you guys by looking up the affiliated gyms from the Jiu Jitsu for Life Team. The culture was great, with lots of quality instruction and I really appreciated all the higher belts taking time to explain small details and it seems like they genuinely care for your development (especially as a first time visiting practitioner). I loved the hour of rolling and open training to just get lots of rounds afterwards. We worked on sequencing arm bar from closed guard today as well as defending the position from the stack counter. Definitely a really great detail to pick up and to try to incorporate in my own game and development. Hope to visit more often!

I take ownership for it. I'm not proud of it, but it's true. I manage my weight by watching what I eat and consuming high calorie foods in careful moderation. (I am not breaking up with Burrito Boyz any time soon.) However, in the fantasy world I live in, I daydream about the prospect of being an early riser who starts her day off in the gym, breaking a sweat before she 9am. And I even have the far fetched idea that some day, I will run a half marathon despite having never run a marathon in my life. By some happenstance, My boyfriend's mother recently learned of the opportunity to test out 9Rounds. I was smitten at the prospect of becoming a 2017 version of Michelle Rodrigues a la Girlfight, so I quickly agreed to join her. On session day, we arrived with 5 minutes to spare and were somewhat...unprepared for the size of the space and the number of bodies. Nevertheless, we were quickly greeted and told that someone would be with us in a minute - and so kickstart the waiting game. Taking a seat, I watched as men and women worked up a sweat at each 'round.' I was impressed at the vigour each of them demonstrated, but as my eyes searched the room to find a person whose obvious fitness level would emulate something that bore a resemblance to mine, I began to wonder -- was this the right fit for a novice like me? After stewing, and perhaps, psyching myself up in the process for 15 odd minutes, one of the friendly gym personal trainers came over and began to ask us some questions in relation to our fitness levels, health restrictions and had us sign off on a waiver. Doe eyed and lost, we waited for the trainer to lead the way. Immediately, he sent my boyfriend's mom off to round 1 to jump rope and he had me do a goal-less number of sit-ups with a 8lb weighted ball. I cannot begin to articulate what kind of hell that was. Call it woeful naiveté, but this was not what I had expected to be doing at a trial session. Before having a moment to express my concerns to one of the gym leaders, he was gone. To no fault of their own given the team works within the sizing limitations and the inability to stay stationary with one given client at a time - I ended up pulling something in my shoulder. There posed the second issue with 9Round concept. Two gym trainers, to upwards to 10 people at a time just doesn't seem practical when you have a group with varying skillsets. Nevertheless, I was determined and kept up with the sit ups until all I could feel was the burn and did everything to disregard the new clicking sound in my shoulder. After what felt like forever, I was shuffled over to the jump rope section where I was immediately reminded that you can in fact, forget how to jump rope despite being a double dutch champion back in your childhood. From jump roping, I moved into squats, followed by first do-si-do with the punching bag. Look out, Michelle - here I come. I was handed a pair of boxing gloves, only to realize...these were the same gloves the person in front of me had recently worn. Saturated in sweat, and bodily fluids...with an unforgivable smell to accompany it. 'Don't be a baby.' I chided myself, opting to instead, focus on the instructions I was briefly given before watching as the trainer took off to the next person. I really feel for the staff at 9Rounds, I felt taxed just watching them move from person to person - having to adjust their expectations and modify the workouts as they went. It was around Round 7 in which the nausea started to set in and I had to take a breather. Upon asking if I wanted to tap out like my boyfriend's mother had already done, I persisted. I was too close to Round 9 - I could definitely do this... but by the conclusion of Round 8, I more less conceded defeat. The ache in my shoulder and the repulsion from the notion that people's other sweat was on my hands prevailing. Upon conclusion of the workout commenced the sales pitch which brings along my final and major and final gripe: the pricing. With a one month membership far exceeding the costs of a traditional gym twofold. (My guess is the personal trainer component is contributing to these costs.) Although 9Round wasn't the right workout regime or fit for me, I definitely left feeling accomplished at what I had done during the session. Despite this, I'm still giving this place 3.5 stars for the out-of-the-box workout and well intentioned originality. I can definitely say, I got my butt kicked that day. (Sidenote: I do believe that they can hook you up with where to get your own boxing gloves or wraps should you choose to pursue it, thus eliminating that sanitary concern.)
