I was very leary to join a gym but 9rounds appealed to me immediately and i couldn't wait to start working out there. The workouts are always different and that keeps it interesting. You feel the energy as soon as you walk in. The trainers are incredible! They encourage you, train you and educate you. I have learned so much and i am grateful to be a member at 9rounds!

9 round is a total body work out that helps me feel my best! Every round is a different exercise targeting a different part of the body, and the workouts change daily so I never get bored! I get a full workout in just 30 minutes and there are no class times so it’s convenient to fit into my schedule. I always leave feeling stronger and more energetic!

I’ve never been a huge fan of going to the gym over the years but I love me some 9round. Definitely not your typical gym experience. It’s a community of people who push each other and enjoy working hard, and the trainers are an integral key to the success of that community. All of the trainers are awesome…they are friendly, encouraging, not intimidating and will absolutely kick your butt if you let them. They definitely push you to get the most out of your workout but also ensure that you don’t overdo it as well.I highly recommend 9round and have enjoyed being a member there for over 4 years. I absolutely feel the difference that the workouts have and love the fact that it only takes 30 minutes of my day.

I tried multiple free workouts at many different gyms and fitness centers and 9Round Kickboxing wins hands down!! The ability to get a full workout in 30 minutes on my own time puts me in control of my fitness goals! Meagan and the entire group of trainers are awesome and have worked with me as my level of workout experience evolves. FUN - ENERGETIC - REWARDING!!! Skip the other places free workouts and get to 9Round!

My wife and I have been coming to the Masonboro 9Round for about 6 months and we recommend it to anyone that will listen. The workouts are fulfilling, the gym is kept spotless, and the trainers are incredibly supportive, professional and skilled at what they do. If you're on the fence, take advantage of the free trial workout - you won't regret it.

9Round Masonboro has helped me mentally and physically, and continues to push me! I love this gym, and all that comes with it. My husband just joined too, and he loves it! Anyone looking for a killer workout to build strength, cardio, and technique and a great gym family, 9Round is for you

There is no doubt that 9Round will transform you on the outside, but it also offers the potential for inner transformation. The highly skilled trainers create a supportive atmosphere that makes you want to work hard, and it teaches you how to take risks. I have lost count of how many times I have caught myself outside of my comfort zone! It's been a passion of mine to try different workout styles, and this is certainly the most exhilarating. The potent combination of accountability and doing hard things directly translates to life outside the gym. A heart pounding workout puts everything else into perspective for the day and makes you feel like you can handle anything life might throw at you (as long as it's not another burpee).What sets this gym apart is the trainers. These incredible humans are in a class by themselves! You can show up in a great mood, full of motivation, and they will match your energy and push you that extra bit further you didn't even know you wanted to go. You can show up just barely holding it together - the actual conductor of the Hot Mess Express - and somewhere between the rhythm of the jump rope and the reassuring presence and intuitive guidance of the trainer, you are put back together. By the time the last bell rings, you realize you are ok and that you have what it takes to do your life mentally and physically.9Round is an opportunity to change every day...what do you want to transform in your life?

I never like leaving a review for anything until I have an informed opinion, but this one is almost two 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*

No class times, 30 minute workouts AND trainers that not only teach you technique but also keep it fun. Hands down my favorite way to spend my lunch break during the work week and the best way to kick start my Saturdays. ?

Just started here and after 4 visits I'm already feeling stronger and seeing a difference! The trainers are so fun and make sure you're using proper techniques. 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!
