FORMER STUDENT This…read moreplace is far more about money than martial arts. Advancement here has very little to do with skill, effort, or actual improvement. If you want to "grow," you have to pay -- for every single belt, test, and step forward. Progress feels locked behind a paywall. The owner shows little genuine interest in developing students' abilities. Instead of coaching, mentoring, or correcting technique in a meaningful way, the focus is constantly on the next fee, upgrade, or payment. It becomes clear very quickly that your value as a student is tied to how much you're willing to spend. Martial arts are supposed to teach discipline, humility, and growth. What I experienced here felt transactional, manipulative, and discouraging. Students who question the system or costs are brushed aside, while those who keep paying move forward regardless of actual skill. If you're looking for a school that truly invests in its students and prioritizes ability over profit, I would look elsewhere. This academy feels like a business first and a martial arts school second -- if at all.

Coaches are the type to invite you into their own homes and treat you like their own family. Paired with a competitive environment forging grit, hardwork, teamwork, skill, and a passion for martial arts. Coaches and senior students are aware and confident enough in their ability to ensure a safe place, they also are aware in the students' abilities as well and keep a watchful eye. Firm enough to ensure your development and success in learning how to defend yourself. 10/10 would highly recommend

Update:: two years later and through a pandemic, 9Round is still me therapy. They are EXTREMELY…read moresanitary 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.

The workout is good, but the pushy sales tactics really turned me off. I came once in the summer of…read more2022. 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.
