    I've been driving past this place a few times when I go to the Metro and last week - I decided to…read moregive it a try. The other kick boxing place on Leslie was closed down and I wanted to try kick boxing versus the traditional HIIT boot camps. I'm glad that I did. I was super nervous and anxious doing this all by myself but as soon as I walked in - I was greeted by the coach who went on a first name basis and introduced me to the staff. I was welcomed by the other guests as well. That eased me into the work out. There was a lady - forgot what her name was, she went through each round with me. It was the fastest, sweatiest work out I've done since the lockdown happened and I felt like death but it was so much fun. It was good to get back in shape. It has been a week of going to the classes and I enjoy them. All of the coaches take the time to walk you through each round and sanitizing the stations to keep everyone safe. I loved how I am getting a full body work out while learning how to do kick boxing. I also love the fact that they have early morning classes, everyone is super nice and the coaches are super patient. I thought I was pretty bad in shape and my coordination SUCKS but the coaches really take the time to help you and I really appreciate that. The price of the sessions aren't too bad and I would say it is better than most gyms that I've researched in the area.

I'm lazy - there, I said it. I take ownership for it. I'm not proud of it, but it's true. I manage my weight by watching what I eat and consuming high calorie foods in careful moderation. (I am not breaking up with Burrito Boyz any time soon.) However, in the fantasy world I live in, I daydream about the prospect of being an early riser who starts her day off in the gym, breaking a sweat before she 9am. And I even have the far fetched idea that some day, I will run a half marathon despite having never run a marathon in my life. By some happenstance, My boyfriend's mother recently learned of the opportunity to test out 9Rounds. I was smitten at the prospect of becoming a 2017 version of Michelle Rodrigues a la Girlfight, so I quickly agreed to join her. On session day, we arrived with 5 minutes to spare and were somewhat...unprepared for the size of the space and the number of bodies. Nevertheless, we were quickly greeted and told that someone would be with us in a minute - and so kickstart the waiting game. Taking a seat, I watched as men and women worked up a sweat at each 'round.' I was impressed at the vigour each of them demonstrated, but as my eyes searched the room to find a person whose obvious fitness level would emulate something that bore a resemblance to mine, I began to wonder -- was this the right fit for a novice like me? After stewing, and perhaps, psyching myself up in the process for 15 odd minutes, one of the friendly gym personal trainers came over and began to ask us some questions in relation to our fitness levels, health restrictions and had us sign off on a waiver. Doe eyed and lost, we waited for the trainer to lead the way. Immediately, he sent my boyfriend's mom off to round 1 to jump rope and he had me do a goal-less number of sit-ups with a 8lb weighted ball. I cannot begin to articulate what kind of hell that was. Call it woeful naiveté, but this was not what I had expected to be doing at a trial session. Before having a moment to express my concerns to one of the gym leaders, he was gone. To no fault of their own given the team works within the sizing limitations and the inability to stay stationary with one given client at a time - I ended up pulling something in my shoulder. There posed the second issue with 9Round concept. Two gym trainers, to upwards to 10 people at a time just doesn't seem practical when you have a group with varying skillsets. Nevertheless, I was determined and kept up with the sit ups until all I could feel was the burn and did everything to disregard the new clicking sound in my shoulder. After what felt like forever, I was shuffled over to the jump rope section where I was immediately reminded that you can in fact, forget how to jump rope despite being a double dutch champion back in your childhood. From jump roping, I moved into squats, followed by first do-si-do with the punching bag. Look out, Michelle - here I come. I was handed a pair of boxing gloves, only to realize...these were the same gloves the person in front of me had recently worn. Saturated in sweat, and bodily fluids...with an unforgivable smell to accompany it. 'Don't be a baby.' I chided myself, opting to instead, focus on the instructions I was briefly given before watching as the trainer took off to the next person. I really feel for the staff at 9Rounds, I felt taxed just watching them move from person to person - having to adjust their expectations and modify the workouts as they went. It was around Round 7 in which the nausea started to set in and I had to take a breather. Upon asking if I wanted to tap out like my boyfriend's mother had already done, I persisted. I was too close to Round 9 - I could definitely do this... but by the conclusion of Round 8, I more less conceded defeat. The ache in my shoulder and the repulsion from the notion that people's other sweat was on my hands prevailing. Upon conclusion of the workout commenced the sales pitch which brings along my final and major and final gripe: the pricing. With a one month membership far exceeding the costs of a traditional gym twofold. (My guess is the personal trainer component is contributing to these costs.) Although 9Round wasn't the right workout regime or fit for me, I definitely left feeling accomplished at what I had done during the session. Despite this, I'm still giving this place 3.5 stars for the out-of-the-box workout and well intentioned originality. I can definitely say, I got my butt kicked that day. (Sidenote: I do believe that they can hook you up with where to get your own boxing gloves or wraps should you choose to pursue it, thus eliminating that sanitary concern.)

On top of that, the coaches weren't even on beat during the class--it really threw off the flow and made the session hard to follow. Overall, not a great experience.

    I've had my Hers Kickboxing membership for around 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. Once I…read morecompleted the orientation, I tried out HIIT Boxing, Taboxing and Power Box. Every class requires boxing gloves; you can either bring your own or purchase/rent them from Her's. Gloves go for $32/pair and rentals are $2 per class. Each person has a punching target (Bob) used to punch and kick during the class. The instructors are very motivating and encourage the class really well when we go through the moves. They are also aware of that everyone is coming into this class is at a different level and accommodate with modifications for the moves. There is a lot of importance given to form, footwork and using the right body parts to increase power in your punches and kicks (to prevent injuries). Each workout class is 45 mins and during that time, the instructors take you through a warm up, full workout including cardio and strength training as well as a cool down. The cardio and strength components vary depending on which workout you choose. The website describes each workout really well and also tells you what level of cardio and strength is in them so you're prepared before you start. There is a mix of cardio (jumping jacks, burpees) as well as strength training moves using weights in each workout. One part of Her's that I really enjoy is the online booking system. Their calendar view of classes is really easy to navigate through and allows you to book classes up to 1 week in advance. I'd definitely recommend Hers if you're looking for a fun switch to your regular workouts!

My son is not that into sports so I was worried, however he loved the programing at Warriors. They never let anyone feel left out and were always encouraging team work, friendship and fair play. My son made friends at this program that although not from the same school, he has continued to keep in touch with. The school pick up is an added bonus for working parents. I would highly recommend this program for any child.

At 7pm on a weeknight, it's a train wreck exiting or entering the facility because of all the people funnelling through one door and the pileup of shoes/boots there and insufficient room to put them on. Additionally, there isn't adequate seating in the viewing areas. For our class, there is probably 12 seats, which is coincidentally close to the amount of students in the class. But often entire families come to watch, with 2 or more additional kids just to watch, so the seats fill up fast. Standing on cold tile in sock feet for an hour isn't something to look forward to 2 times per week. As I said, my kid really enjoys it....but not sure we'll be renewing when the 6 month period is up. It's a shame really. My suggestions are: stagger class start and stop times to alleviate the entrance logjam, limit class sizes to 8 or so, so the seating is adequate, or get a better designed facility.
