In college, it can be hard to balance your schedule and social life. Student’s are bound to get stressed out and for most, exercise is an outlet. 9Round, a unique franchise-owned kickboxing gym, is perfect for the stressed out college student on the go. According to Aswand Cruickshank, a trainer at 9Round, “As a student, you don’t always know what time you’re going to be available so this can easily fit into your schedule. If you have 30 minutes, you can get in here and get your punch on.”
The gym is specially designed to not only fit everyone’s fitness goals but to challenge members at every session. The gym is segmented into 9 stations called fittingly, “rounds” where members will read a board that will explain the activity and exercise they are about to do. Each round lasts for about three minutes and the trainers will remind you when you have 30 seconds left. Then before you transition to the next round, a trainer will give you an exercise to keep you moving. 9Round is formulated so that members don’t have to wait for a class time or a schedule. Members can just come in and within three minutes they can get started.
”The fact that it is 30 minutes in and out no class times is pretty life changing because it accommodates everybody’s schedule.” said Shea Pucci, three-year member of 9Round and graduate from NSU.
The boards at each station are also changed everyday to keep the workout interesting for members and to challenge members fitness goals from beginner to advanced skill set. The gym offers a free first workout to “test drive” their gym and make sure it is a good fit to match one’s fitness goals. Trainers are available to customize workouts to match skill levels and there is no shame in taking your time. In Cruickshank’s words, “I’ve trained at six other gyms and this is better. We get to deal with group fitness content but we get to work with people one on one so we get the best of both worlds.”
All equipment necessary for the workout is included in the membership price which students can sign up for after their first free session. 9Round is a franchise with locations in Plantation, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines as well as a new location opening in Davie.
