This review is long overdue. I joined BestHour Kickboxing back in 2019 as one of the first steps in…read moremy fitness/weight loss journey. I was incredibly out of shape, but everyone here made me feel so welcome and comfortable. They really focus on what you can do and don't make you feel bad or intimidate you about what you're not able to do (yet!) The workouts are challenging, but they help you adapt the workout to your fitness level, so if you're just starting out don't let that discourage you. This is probably the only fitness facility I've been to where the staff make you feel like they're genuinely excited that you're there. It's incredibly inclusive and the team members push you/encourage you during the workout in a really supportive way. They offer challenges, which are super fun and highly recommended! I was actually able to lose 20+ lbs during a 6 week challenge by committing to the number of workouts recommended and suggested meal plan. For the social butterflies, it's also a place to meet great friends/workout buddies. I'm an introvert so that wasn't really my thing, but appreciated that everyone here (staff & members) have such a great attitude. Really happy that they were able to weather through the pandemic's previous shut down and restrictions, and are still going strong. The only reason I am no longer a current member is because now I live too far away to make the commute work in my regular schedule. I definitely 10/10 recommend this place, it is worth every penny.

I signed up for the "free" 6 weeks challenged but had to pay $799 upfront. I trusted them. But…read moreafter 6 weeks I didn't lost 6% body fat. Supposedly people get half of the $799 back but not me. I was told that this amount can be spread through June so I stayed on as a member. But they went ahead and took out $122.50 from my credit card and a month later $56.00. I asked them to cancel my membership because I felt that they are cheating me. They got nasty with me and won't reimburse me. So in 2 months they cheated me of $977.50. BEWARE of this dishonest business dealings. It feels like being scammed for a "free" challenge. Zero star for the dishonesty, 2 stars for the nice staffs.

So this is tucked back behind a few ramen places. The parking lot isn't huge, but there's plenty of…read morespots and people constantly coming and going. Staff here is dope! The person at the counter was super nice and the ease of getting a drop in class was a nice touch. The VIP package comes with a pair of gloves, so if you're new and want to keep coming it's a good investment. The facility is clean and tidy. They have a locker situation for your things and after each class the bags are sanitized and the floors as well. The class is a quality workout and wonderful lesson! I feel like I learned a ton just about the motion of my body. I drove all the way there from Puyallup and it's the real deal. Instructor is a for real a FIGHTER. He's fun and upbeat and really gets you warmed up. I was pretty scared, but this was a whole new experience. It's helpful that the instructor checks on you a bunch and tells you how to fix your motions. I worked muscles I hadn't in so long. The workout was intense but fun and I felt amazing after. I hadn't gone to bed at 7pm in years. Lol. 10 out of 10 recommend.

This helps to ensure you won't get bored doing the same thing every day. My 13 year old daughter enjoys going as well. I love that this is a workout for all ages so the whole family can join in. The staff are very helpful and do a great job keeping you motivated and the gym clean. I do not worry when I workout here as they are constantly cleaning. I really appreciate how this family owned business has gotten creative this past year to keep the members working out. During lockdown they did outside workouts a d offered online videos. Fantastic! If you can't tell, I kind of love everything about 9Round. It is a great stress relief to workout here and you owe it to yourself to give it a try. The first workout, to check the gym & program, is free so you have nothing to lose but your stress!

Loss of two stars…read more So I went into the facility (as they demanded) back in April to cancel the account. Sure enough, the very polite person on duty turned to the computer, punched a few keys (no pun intended) and then told me I was good to go. What? Why couldn't I do this over the phone? It makes no sense. All I can imagine was the upsell. They tried to upsell me into buying individual sessions. No thanks. Again, great people but poor business practices. Took one star off of my 3 star rating. Here I am now (June) doing a few bills online. What's this I see? 9Round charged me for June? Huh? I see charges every month which stopped in May but then picked back up in June. Odd. Minus another star. I won't be going into the facility to cancel again.

The space is always clean and well organized. Russel has been the only trainer I've worked with so far and he's great. He is super friendly, but also brings a level of joking that makes you feel like you've been coming there for months rather than days. While he is nice, he's also there to make you work. He pushes and motivates you to work harder. Maybe more importantly, his playlists are always on point. He has been very helpful whenever I ask what a move is or how to do it, I have never felt nervous about asking for help like I have in other places. I've been stuck in a funk where I've missed all the mid-day classes at most gyms and would have to go home, disrupt our evening routine to drive somewhere else, then get back to a delayed bedtime for my kid. 9 Round is the best because there are no class times. I pop in right when they open in the afternoon and get home right when the rest of my family does. I've been bringing all my co-workers here. If you're on the fence, you should definitely just go in for your free first workout.

I've had three personal trainers for different programs that was interested in and I found Kelly Smith to be particularly helpful in dealing with some issues I had with sciatica.. she emphasized how you can develop strength and mobility, making my workout time more efficient. Her glutes and sciatica training were extremely helpful and I have not seen those exercises in any online videos.

First off this is not a review for this location, but of the experience in general for FITTheorem…read morePNW. I signed up with them for the Everett location because I live in Marysville, they had some issues at the Everett location and say they are temporarily closing to do some work. This leaves Lynnwood as the only location nearby. Their contract says that if they have a functioning gym within 25 miles of your home REGARDLESS of if this is your "home" gym or not they don't have to provide refunds pauses or any other remedy. SO even though they closed the gym I signed up with I have no recurse because I live exactly 24 miles from their Lynnwood location (previously I was only 12 miles according to Google from the Everett location.) On top of this I wrote their email almost 3 weeks ago saying this is unacceptable please credit my account for the missed time. I didn't ask for a refund I basically said I can't do the commute just add time and when Everett is done I'll resume. NO DICE! They said too bad sorry no sorry tough luck blah blah blah. We don't care. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT MEMBERS AND WILL NOT BE HELPFUL IF THEY CAN AVOID IT. STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE. DON'T LET THEM SCAM YOU!

If you do do the challenge, make sure you document the day you take the classes, location, and who your workout coach was. Keep all your before and after photos. Make sure you weigh in at the same location you signed up at. When I went to schedule my final weigh-in, they conveniently didn't have any appointments at the Kent location, so I had to go to FW. I weighed in as a guest and then with my account number. There were discrepancies between the two and a huge difference from when I weighed in on Saturday. So I went to the Kent location and weighed myself there. Could've attach the photis but there wasn't much difference between the weight but a huge discrepancy between the body fat. I don't think I lost that much body fat driving from FW to Kent. If I had used the information from FW, I wouldn't have met the challenge requirements and would have lost $799. They also said I had only taken 17 classes, but I had really taken 22 classes. Most of the coaches have no experience in the fitness industry, and some are former clients that were asked to start teaching classes. After 3 weeks, numerous emails, and a paper trail, I did finally get my $799 refunded. BE CAUTIOUS!!! P.S. Marshall and Johnny are still worth the drive to FW. FINAL WEIGH-IN all on the same day within 20 minutes of each other WEIGHT MM BF FW guest: 156.5 66.6 23.8 FW acct: 156.4 66.6 23.5 Kent guest: 156.4 68.8 21.6 Kent acct: 156.4 69.0. 21.2 *******end of edit******* Started the "free" challenge on April 1. I've worked out before but have never done Kickboxing and was a little nervous. The first few classes kicked my butt but the second week was better, and I was getting the combos down. It's a great workout and definitely worked muscle I didn't know I had. Johnny and Marshall are amazing coaches and are definitely worth the drive to Federal Way. Would have given 5 stars, but initially, I had problems with the scheduling app, but after the 3rd week, it was working fine. I also had problems with the FITT LIFE app deleting food that I logged, so I just ended up getting MyFitness pal premium and scanning all my food.
