Noel was running the bootcamp class that I attended and the workout really helped work on the…read moremuscles that I hardly use! He's very enthusiastic when hes running the class which is great! The class is 45 mins long but it's still sufficient enough to break a sweat (it's really depends on how hard you work). It consisted of running the track ladders, jumping through hurdles, some weight training focusing mostly on core and legs with some arms and some basic exercises using your own body weight. Some of the exercises required some good balance too like the "good morning squat". The gym itself was very clean, lots of open space, and the equipment are all in pretty good condition. There is plenty of parking on site and the change rooms are very clean with plenty of lockers for you to store your stuff. Make sure you bring your own lock! The only downside is that there is no water fountain so be sure to bring your own water. Overall, a fairly good workout. If you're looking to boost your cardio/endurance, this might not be the class for you. I find that this is better for people who wants to tone up.

We started here with just my son taking the initial lessons. But, after I saw how great Steve was with the kid's classes, I decided to join and I'm glad I did. Steve blends most every practical martial art out there into a complete system that encompasses ground fighting, "stand up" and weapons training. And the best thing is Steve is certified by the most recognized big name martial artists out there Like Dan Inosanto ( one of the most famous senior students of Bruce Lee). To get this type of quality instruction elsewhere you'd definitely spend 3 to 4 times more...easily!

Whether you are looking to compete, learn street fighting, or just looking to get fit, this place is it.  Steve is patient, humble and his positive energy will help students take their skills to the next level regardless of age, gender or skill level.

Located at NE corner of Highway 7 and McCowan Road, this new 9Round Fitness franchise has been…read moreopened for exactly a month now, and a lot of people have been raving about it (including myself... I've been seeing results!) It is a 30-minute circuit training with 9 stations, including a full body workout; you work with in-house personal trainers, and you get to punch and kick stuff #whynot lol. Another good thing is that you can drop in any time; the circuit starts every 3 minutes - just jump right in! The only time you need to book a time slot is when you sign up via website for a free trial session to see if you like it :) Please do take advantage of it if you're curious/interested and if you want to make a different in your overall health! Honestly, I have been such a long time yogi; I was a bit iffy about kickboxing/circuit training when my coworker asked me to join - it does sound a bit rough and I'm too fragile and delicate LMAO. I have decided to give 9Round a try; I go with my coworker at least 1-2 times a week after work. You can do the training stations by yourself, or work in pairs - which is what we did - it was more interactive, we had a lot more fun, and we push each other to work harder! After a month, I noticed that I have become stronger (now with muscles!), toner and my metabolism has surprisingly increased (aka, I eat a lot more now! Food fuels my hungry muscles lol). The owners, Joe and Irene, are very welcoming and passionate people, and they know your names by heart right when you walk in... okay maybe not Joe, he still mixes me and Julie up lol. The trainers at 9Round are friendly and encouraging, and always cheering us on... even though I know they are sweaty and tired. So, thank you :) Overall, I see potential that 9Round will do very well. I have already seen improvement - the way the manage the time, the flow of the stations, the adjustments and alterations for kickboxers of varioius levels. A quick shoutout to trainer, Ken - thank you for customizing my last workout, I really appreciate that. #girlWHOhasFATarms lol. Keep up the good work, 9Round :) P.S. Make sure you bring your indoor shoes! Owners pride on keeping their place clean at all times :)

During last summer, I was told I needed…read moreto workout more to balance my food blogging hobby (eating WAY too much) and at that time I was introduced to 9Round by my fellow yelper and friend Cherrie. I came in for a 30 minutes trial with Joe and immediately felt in love with in. Talk about a FULL body workout, I recall I was in pain for 3 days after my free trial! This wasn't the ONLY reason why I joined though, Joe, Irene and their trainers are all so devoted in ensuring you get a good workout everytime and slowly increases the difficulties as they assess your progression. I can't squat AT ALL back then and now I can say I can do a pretty good squat hold. 30 minutes workout, 9 stations, 3 minutes each station really doesn't take too much time at all and you feel GREAT after. I try my best to come here 3 times a week usually after work, see if you can catch me at 9Round one day throwing some punches and kicks! Special shoutouts to the great previous and current trainers here! Joe, Ken, Michael x 2, Steve, Jade, Peter and of course Irene for making a 30 minutes workout intense AND fun at the same time!

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!

I work full time, and manage to go here almost every other day. I can now do a lot of things physically that I could never do before (burpees, mountain climbers, etc!). I've lost about 5 pounds from going there frequently (in about 6 weeks) - which is crazy! I've also learned how to box and kickbox properly, and I've seen myself grow so much in the last few months. I'm really impressed by this place. The only downside is the price, it's expensive. However, if you have ever considered getting a personal trainer then this would work great for you. Personal trainers are double the cost of this place and the trainers here act like your personal trainer (teach you form, monitor your progress, and challenge you). So in a way, it's like personal training, but a reduced fee. If you're looking boxing gym (boxing and only boxing) I'd look elsewhere. This place is a full body kickboxing workout - so you do box 90% of the time, but you're also doing a lot more than just boxing. Overall, I highly recommend this place to everyone! Boxing *is* an expensive sport. But here, you get what you pay for and more. It's a great place to challenge yourself physically. Shout out to all the best trainers - Daisy, Jones and Monty!

They're challenging (I've been going for years and still need to lie down or rest in child's pose), although instructors do offer some modifications. Yoga is supposed to be for everybody, but my friend who is new to yoga felt lost in the crowd and not given accessible poses - and this was foundation flow. My other complaint is that the main room is not cleaned between classes. I know this because I've walked in many a sweat puddles barefoot as I traversed across the studio. The instructors all have something special. Jenny leads an energetic class and is supportive (I did crow pose for the first time in her class!). Cindy is a dancer and makes yoga look beautiful. May is funny and pairs Pilates movements with Top40 music. Susan is badass! Classes are non-competitive, HOT, and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated (unless you go to Guy's Friday night class...10/10 will lie down in shavasana). Have fun!
