9Round

So far so good. My daughter has hour long math tutor sessions in the same shopping center. She goes 3 days a week. So as I saw it I had 3 options. 1) go drink at Sierra Gold 2) Sit in my car for an hour like the other parents, boring. 3) Or go work out.
Before I came into 9round I looked at their website and read the Unilocal reviews. I was a little unsure about this place because of that scathing one star review but I thought I’d check it out for myself. Your first workout is free.
I signed up for a 6 month membership because that’s how long my daughter will be at the math place. I received a discount for paying in full vs a monthly payment plan. When you buy a year membership, or for this special a 6 month membership, your hand wraps and gloves are included in the cost of membership.
So far I’ve worked out twice. It’s pretty cool. I’ve just done the 30min circuit of the 9 Rounds, but as I get stronger I plan to go through twice for an hour long work out. As for now the ½ hour is kicking my butt. The 2 instructors I’ve met so far are very nice. I’m still getting back in shape so I am able to modify the work outs. Use one weight instead of two, or do girly push ups cuz that’s all I can do right now. My advice is when going through each station, they will show you what to do and how to do it but don’t be afraid to modify it to your own abilities. This includes making it harder too if you feel the need. (that does not describe me by the way.)
Improvements? Too early to tell except their sound system needs some TLC. I like that they play upbeat music to motivate you to work hard through each station. However, the volume seemed max out and doesn’t sound all that great. I’ll review again after I’ve been at it a while.

This is an amazing full-​body workout you can do in only 30 minutes! No class times — you just start when you get there. It’s perfect for fitting in on your lunch hour. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the 9Round system and the expertise and attention that owner/​trainer Matt has shared with me have completely changed my life! I have never before followed through with an exercise routine. I never thought I could be one of those people who joined fitness classes. But I am absolutely hooked! I’ve lost about 40 pounds since I joined over a year ago and have increased my strength and fitness levels beyond anything I could ever have imagined. My doctor was amazed at my lab results.

Are you a fan of a mediocre workout?
How about inappropriate sexual jokes?
Hum Maybe you like to have a fitness coach that is not versatile and has little to NO experience in the realm of personal training, nutrition, or how to modify for injuries?
Well perhaps you like to see your fitness coach eating Ice Cream, Huge Port of Subs Sandwiches or gallons of juice?
Yes truth folks all of the above happens at this place!
The most offensive is the inappropriate sexual talk and jokes. The «owner» so he claims, also brags about his personality! It is offensive. I cannot believe women don’t sue the pants off this jerk! My husband was so annoyed when I would tell him what was said in this «gym» he hated my attendance in this place. At the time this worked for my schedule but it really raised my stress levels! Quite the opposite of the intention of going to the gym.
The «coach» «owner» whatever is a control freak nut! He has no clue about fitness. Many of the Made Up movements at the weight station are damaging to joints. It actually took several months of corrective physical therapy to get my shoulder out of pain. When I would tell the «Coach» that I could not do that movement, I was told he makes the work outs for a reason and I did not see his vision! This was always the case with anything that the client wanted to modify.
In addition to that this is a seriously repetitious workout even though it did not have to be. I am guessing this is due to the lack of fitness knowledge that the «coach» has. The «Coach» also has no ability to scale a workout for different ability levels. This is a joke of a work out for anyone with any fitness stamina.
OH and did I mention if you have an opinion, fitness knowledge, or any ideas that are not pumping up the EGO of this Nut Job… He will inappropriately contact you and tell you that he is canceling your membership! HA you just did me a favor! I was sucking it up and fulfilling my contractual commitment because I signed up and signed a binding agreement! Thank you for canceling me… However No Thank you for not refunding the month of membership that I had already paid as I was told I was not welcome in the gym any longer. I had to dispute the charge with my bank and block further charges after the «owner» and «coach» told me that He had decided to cancel me! What a classy guy… NOT…Idiotic! I am so glad to be gone from here. Did I mention the swearing! I mean I swear and this just takes the class of this establishment so low… The «owner» prides himself in being a foul mouthed disgusting individual!
I almost forgot!!! This Ego Maniac Nut, was obviously intimidated by someone with fitness knowledge (I am also a certified trainer and have many other fitness certifications). He had the gaul to tell me, when he decided to cancel me at his volition, that I didn’t put in much effort! Really??? I was there 4 – 5 days per week and on almost every visit I would do 1.5 to 2 full rounds on the circuit. If I didn’t do a second circuit I would do some Tabata workouts in a space where there wasn’t anyone else working. How the heck is that not putting in effort! I was there 2 times longer working 2 times harder than anybody else! JOKE of a Dude… Plus his friends obviously did not get the memo… Friends do not let Friends Skip Leg Day… This dude could use a good Leg day!
On a positive note, I am back where I belong with my fitness family at Crossfit Bangarang! This is the best fitness community in Reno. These guys train, scale, and work with individuals form while delivering a dynamic workout! Since May I have lost minimum 1% body fat every week! I am getting strong, and having fun. This is so much more than just fitness! Love Crossfit Bangarang! Seriously they are your trainers, friends, and family! They really encourage each individual to be better than they were when they walked in!
Thank you Ego Maniac, very unethical, poor trainer, and highly inappropriate «Coach and Owner» of 9 round for canceling my overpriced membership to gym hell!
I am in heaven now!

This little gem is one of my favorite workouts each week. Owner/​trainer Matt is incredibly dedicated to his clients, to making working out fun, to encouraging you to try your hardest, and most importantly, to making you want to come back for more. In just 30 minutes, you’re training your body just as hard as some of the 60 minute classes I’ve been to, or 6-​mile runs I do on my own. Love feeling like a bad-​you-​know-​what when I’m hitting or kicking the bags, and love getting to focus on just me for 30 minutes straight.
Your first class is always free!
