It has been a game changer in this busy moms life! Staff is super friendly, helpful, and ready to go when you hit the door. I receive emails regarding any changes or updates that are occurring at the facility, regularly. It is BEST bang for your buck! I never thought that I could actually get a full body workout in 30 minutes, but 9 rounds is no joke! It is truly 30 minutes and is totally doable for any fitness level.

This location was great when we first joined. Angeline the manager is very friendly and professional she took the time to show us the workouts and even when the place was full. Then the owners hired an assistant manager by the name of Jason Eldridge and the environment became toxic. He doesn’t know the workouts that are written on the boards to show the proper way of doing them. He also loves to gossip to members about other members that is where the toxic environment comes from. We have tried to talk to Jason about our concerns but he told us that he doesn’t have time for us. He doesn’t take responsibility for what he says to people. We have reached out to the owners about our concerns but have not heard anything from them. That is why we have canceled our membership. If I could give it a 0 I would. Join the other 9 rounds but not the one in Hickory, North Carolina

9 rounds has helped me meet and surpass my personal fitness goals. I’ve made huge improvements in strength, endurance and flexibility. I can count on getting a great workout every time and I am challenged by the trainers to push myself. I look better but more importantly I feel more strong and younger than ever!

9 Round Hickory is great! I was visiting family from out of state and wanted to stay active.They were so helpful and gave me a week pass while I was in town! They definitely kick your butt and I’ll be back whenever I’m in Hickory!

I dont excel at planning my own workouts and struggle to engage at a gym without a friend or helpful trainer. I was offered a free week pass to my local 9Round gym at a conference I attended and decided to give it a shot, even though Id never tried kickboxing fitness before. I arrived hesitant and skeptical, but my trainer (Kevin) was so helpful and encouraging, I was motivated to come back each day of the week. I loved that I felt like I had actually done something at the end of each workout. I could feel my metabolism shifting and was more motivated to continue to workout after each session (go for a run, practice yoga, etc.) which is exactly what I was hoping for. I love how approachable Kevin is- when I need a reminder of what to do or how to get the most out of an exercise, I can always count on him to help. Everyone at the gym is friendly and approachable. When I go, it kinda feels like a family. The regulars get to know one-another. Unlike some gyms, its not an atmosphere of who can beat who or whos in the best shape, its friendly fitness.I did a lot of research into the surrounding gyms in my area, including other visits and trails, but none of them compared to 9Round. Now that Im a member, I go at least thrice a week, and not because Im forcing myself to, but because I want to! Honestly, its a great system, but the biggest reason why my 9Round gym is great is because of Kevin. If he wasnt there, it might be a completely different atmosphere, but hes great, which makes the gym great. I recommend my 9Round gym to all of my friends and Im happy to be a member.

I am a 9 Round member from out of town and had a business trip in Hickory. The team at 9Round Hickory welcomed me with open arms and let me get in 2 workouts while I was in town. The staff here is awesome and the training is on point. I hope to return on my future trips here. Best place to workout in town. 30 minutes and you are in and out and get an intense workout. You will leave dripping in sweat!

I highly recommend giving 9 round in Hickory a try. The staff makes you feel very welcome and this is one of the few gyms I have never felt judged for my size at. The trainers are always supportive and extremely nice which makes the workouts more enjoyable. You never have the same work out and if you have a body part that is bothering you they modify the workout for you. This gym is by far the best around in my opinion.

My 15 year old son and I do 9Round together along with my wife. The combination of the kickboxing element, it only being 30 minutes, switching stations, and the trainers interaction, creates an environment where he focuses and gives effort. That alone is worth the membership. I’d been searching for an activity we could do together as a family that would hopefully create lifelong healthy exercise habits for my son. So far 9Round has met that need. The training staff and member community have added to the experience at 9Round Hickory Nc

Kevin and his team are awesome and supportive! I love the workouts and that I dont have to stress about what exactly I should be doing at the gym. 30 minutes of a hard workout with a different workout everytime I go is exciting and keeps my body sore in a good way😊

Absolutely love 9 Round!! The atmosphere and trainers are nothing but supportive, and there is not a day I walk in when the trainer doesn’t great you by name! The 30 minute time frame is so convenient for me. The bonus is that there is no set class scheduling. It is perfect with my work schedule so I do not feel pressure to arrive at any one specific time. It starts when I arrive! Everyone is doing the same thing so its not intimidating and the trainers will modify your workout as they see fit for you! You deserve to give yourself 30 minutes to have a happier, healthier life.

I was skeptical at first, but the staff quickly changed my mind. The workouts are intense, yet I feel completely safe and comfortable. The class scheduling is perfect with my work schedule so I do not feel pressure to arrive at any one specific time. I cant wait to start seeing results like I am already feeling them!

I love this place! It’s a great workout and the staff is knowledgeable.

Best place in Hickory for a killer workout

The staff at 9Round are friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and fun! The gym is clean and the workout is quick, effective, and flexible. Highly recommend!

Different from other gyms Ive tried in the past. Never thought I could get a great full body workout in just 30 minutes. Trainers are kind and very knowledgable.

Absolutely love 9 Round!! The atmosphere is nothing but supportive, and there is not a day I walk in when the trainer doesn’t say “Hey Jordan!”. It just makes me feel so much more accountable! The trainers modify when needed, but also keep you motivated. It’s actually fun to work out because it’s always different- battle rope, kicking, punching, jump rope, calisthenics. There’s no intimidation because everyone is doing the same thing, and there’s no guesswork as to what I should be doing. When I go to the big gyms, I always wondered “Am I lifting enough? How many reps do I do? Do I look stupid?” I could go on, but the simple point is that I am so happy I finally found a place that works for me! :)

Good atmosphere, the trainers are both knowledgeable and personable. Awesome workout!
