    Fun, quick HIIT workout that definitely made me sweat! The class was high energy and flew…read moreby--perfect if you're short on time but still want to get a solid session in. The staff made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of, offering guidance and checking in throughout. Great atmosphere, easy to follow, and I left feeling energized and accomplished. I'll definitely be back!

    I have such a love hate relationship with 9round. When I began my fitness journey, 9round was the…read morefirst gym I decided to try. I have been a member of the West Ashley, Summerville, and Mount Pleasant locations. Now I find myself back at the Summerville one. This gym is a little smaller than the other two I mentioned but it gets the job done. There's a black and red theme throughout the gym with inspirational quotes on the walls. The workouts can be intense--as the name suggests, there are 9 rounds. You spend 3 minutes at each round completing the designated activity at each. It's definitely a total body workout and the workouts change daily. My favorite aspect of this kickboxing gym compared to other ones, is there are no class times! You literally come in and jump in at the beginning of a round switch. The trainers are knowledgeable and helpful. They are there to encourage you, as well as push you to your limits. They sell heart rate monitors but I haven't (won't) get one (lol). Overall, it's a great gym/experience and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a high intensity, efficient workout. The parking lot can get congested in the afternoons because it's in a plaza with Buffalo Wild Wings. But they have some designated parking spots. As a side note, I lost about 80 pounds through 9round workouts. :) I have picked back up some of the weight via muscles.

It's a quick 30 min. workout with a ton of variety as they switch up each station every day. Highly recommend if you get bored easily at the gym or with the same workout routines!

    I never like leaving a review for anything until I have an informed opinion, but this one is almost…read moretwo years overdue. I joined 9Round in the summer of 2021. I was coming off significant back issues and was hungry to get back into shape. I don't like "bro" gyms, and cardio was never my favorite either so I bounced around different places for a couple of months before a good friend recommended I check out the Lumina gym. In a matter of days, I was hooked. The 9Round workout is different from anything I had experienced before. You start with a one-on-one workout with a trainer to get oriented with the program and the stations. Almost immediately, you realize that the three-minute "rounds" go by extremely quickly - the martial-arts-style movements keep it super engaging, and the session is over before you know it. Again, I knew this was for me almost right away. I was clumsy and uncomfortable for a while, but the spirit of the trainers and the other members is very supportive - we're all learning new stuff every day, and we all sweat and grunt and look a little funny at times while we muscle through the workouts. It's a very fun vibe - a little bit Rocky, a little bit Karate Kid (1984), and just a hint of The Matrix. I know kung fu. I was very busy career wise for my first year at the gym, but I tried to make it in 4-5 days per week. Something that the 9Round marketing doesn't convey is the immense stress reduction you get from their workouts. Whatever is gnawing at you at the end of the day melts away after 30 minutes of jumping rope, smacking around a speed bag and running through a trainer drill. Although the program will encourage you to stay "in the yellow" on your heart-rate monitor, I found that the therapy value I get "in the red" was more profound than yoga, meditation, and well... actual therapy combined. I was losing weight, increasing stamina and feeling bloody fantastic. About ten months ago, my wife got jealous of all the fun I was having, and she started joining me for daily workouts. She got the plot even faster than I did and was hooked just as much. I was a little defensive of my guy time in the beginning, but surprisingly, this place is totally wired for couples. We have a blast competing in weekly challenges as well as in trying to embarrass the trainers with our weird sense of humor... All of the members we've met here are friendly, approachable and totally in the zone! Although you're in close proximity, each station feels private - everyone is in their own headspace and their own struggle. The subtext of camaraderie is very cool. All ages, all abilities, we all go all in. This has been a year of big changes for us. It's not totally relevant to this review, but we have had multiple hard losses in our immediate family. At times, everything felt upside down, but the gym was always there for us. After a while, we started going twice per day - once in the morning to get our heads right for the day, and once after work to bring the stress levels back down. I completely credit 9Round for a lot of healing that's happened. Sure, the workout is phenomenal, and you get lots of feelings out on the heavy bag rounds. But the best asset 9Round has going for it is the extraordinary trainers. Every one of the professional trainers we work with at 9Round is knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. They meet you where you are on the workout side and help you to advance and get stronger. On top of that, they are also some of the kindest, friendliest people we've met in Wilmington. There has never been a bad day at the office they can't make better. We consider them our friends as well as our fitness coaches. These folks work hard every day, and we appreciate it very much. I'm in the best shape I've been in since my 20's. For realsies. My diet is probably a B- at best, but I'm down 20 pounds and 10 points of body fat. My back problems are negligible now. This is not an infomercial! Get yourself into the gym, do three or four workouts, and see for yourself if I'm exaggerating. *fist bump*
