I love this 9round in Emeryville! I can't believe it's already been almost 2 yrs since I've been…read moregoing here. Feels like just yesterday that I was scrolling through Yelp looking at workout studio reviews! I had never boxed before 9round, and I love it! It feels so great to just punch a bag after a stressful day at work. You feel so powerful! I also love the way that the workouts are structured. I can just pop in at any time and be in and out in 30 mins. I don't need to think about what moves to do for the day. And I always leave super sweaty and accomplished. What really stands out to me about the 9round in Emeryville in particular is the owner Charise! I knew when I was first searching for workout classes that I wanted a badass woman trainer and Charise is just that! She is amazing - super friendly and motivating! She is great at demoing different moves for noobs like me who can never remember the names of different moves. She also takes the time to chat with and get to know everyone!

Charise is amazing!! It was my first time at the studio, and she was so welcoming and sweet and…read morehelpful. She demoed all the moves for me before each round and helped correct my form as a newbie. She was extremely patient and helped me work on my technique when kickboxing. I liked the combo of HIIT and kickboxing. It was a very welcoming environment and the location had easy parking and very easy to find. I definitely recommend coming!!

If you're thinking about joining a gym for a fantastic workout and motivating community, stop…read morereading and go sign up with 9Round now! I've been going 2x a week for 6 months now and it's been such a life-saver for me. Before joining, I was struggling to get active again after having a baby -- who has the time and energy for exercise with one of those around? 9Round kicked all those excuses out! -- The location is so convenient; parking has never been an issue. -- The circuit-format is just perfect: no class times, just come in when it's good for you. -- Workouts are 30 minutes, and that flies by. -- Great for anyone new to kickboxing cardio (easy, fun!) with opportunity to build on those skills as you go. I purchased gloves and wraps after my intro session, but aside from that, the gym has everything you need. Including wonderful trainers! Dave is a real rockstar: kind, motivating, and watches out for your needs. All the trainers have been great, giving notes on form and encouraging you to push yourself when they know you can. The results speak for themselves: I have way more energy to keep up with a 2-year-old!

I've been with this 9Round since January 2023 (1yr 3 mo as of this review) and it has honestly been…read morelife changing. I've worked off the 20lbs I gained during Covid and feel stronger and more confident than ever, and it's all thanks to Dave and the incredible coaches at 9Round (shout out to Ovi)! A little background - I've exercised at a typical gym (24hr fitness, planet fitness, etc) most of my life. I fell off hard during Covid and was having so much trouble getting back into exercise. I had gained over 20lbs and my fitness and confidence were struggling. After failing to stay consistent with traditional gyms, I finally joined 9Round in January 2023. I'm so happy to say that I have stayed consistent for over a year now AND worked off my stubborn Covid weight and built muscle in the process, and am now happier and healthier than ever. So what makes the difference? 9Round is honestly just SO FUN in addition to being a great workout. You've never felt joy like punching a bag after a hard day's work. And getting to see your skills grow, your kicks land harder, and your punches more powerful? Incredible. I look forward to every gym session at 9Round, and the wonderful community the owner Dave and his coaches have built only adds to the experience. I love how excited they get to see everyone's' progress, the encouragement they give, and the helpful nutrition tips. A few other things - when I first joined 9Round I was stuck between them and Orangetheory Fitness. I tried both and decided to go with 9Round because of the flexibility of being able to drop in any time, which has been wonderful. What I didn't expect was how much the fun of kickboxing would add to the experience. If you're struggling to enjoy exercise, I would highly recommend going with 9Round, because the skill building aspect has honestly been a 10/10 for my motivation and happiness. Also worth noting is that no previous experience is required, and everyone is super friendly and encouraging for beginners. When I started I had no kickboxing experience - I could barely get 5 jump ropes in without tripping and my coordination on the bag was awful. Now I can jump rope 5 minutes straight with no trip ups and go rapid fire on the bag. The trainers are amazing about introducing you to the exercises and showing the proper form (including modifying the exercises if needed), so don't shy away if you've never kickboxed before! Dave also adds in so many wonderful extras at his location - he offers occasional drop-in classes for self-defense, yoga, Pilates, etc. In January he ran a 60-day challenge which included additional personal training and nutrition guidance which helped me drop my last 10 stubborn Covid pounds finally! He also has an In-Body machine so you can measure and track your muscle mass vs. body fat as you train, which is so much more valuable for tracking progress than weight alone! Anyhow, I could rant and rave all day about how amazing 9Round is, and specifically this 9Round location, but I think this sums up the major points. If you're curious, the first class is free so I'd highly recommend giving it a try!

Fantastic gym! Owner and Coach Ignacio is a Muaythai champion with lots of experience training…read morestudents. I've been coming here ever since they opened. KO1 Roundhouse uses a combination of Muay Thai techniques, cardio, circuit, weights, and strength training. You get a little bit of everything. The gym is setup where it's super convenient to drop in anytime you want during their opening hours. I love that I don't have a set time I need to be there because my work schedule fluctuates. Once you arrive, you start in the first round with jump rope to warm up. You then progress to some weights, and then get to box on the bags. Every day the workout changes so you aren't doing the same thing over and over. You get a personal trainer to guide you through each exercise and they will also hold pads for you for an extra workout. You can finish the training in 33 minutes or even stay longer. Their hours of operation are also really generous and I find I can always find a time slot within their opening hours to drop in. The facility is brand new and super clean. The staff cleans after each round so I feel I don't have to worry about someone else's sweat on the bags. The equipment is high quality and brand name. Cool gear too for purchase with shirts, sweatshirts, and boxing gloves. I'd highly recommend you give KO1 a try, they are great for all levels. New members can try a class for free before committing. Monthly membership fees are affordable and so worth it! P.S. They also do Muay Thai classes that you need to preschedule in advance but I haven't had time to check it out yet.

This Muay Thai gym is the best! Flexible hours, lot's of strength training, and great equipment…read more The trainers are all encouraging and push you to do your best; Ignacio the owner is knowledgeable and patient and I've learned a lot with him. It's a great place if you just want to get in better shape while learning Muay Thai techniques. The other people that attend are fun to work out with too! Good vibes and 100% recommend.

Parking is generally easy on Piedmont Ave and surrounding streets. Ash is very knowledgeable and we always leave there feeling better than when we walked in. I have trained with Ash through 2 pregnancies and one postpartum period so far and he has helped me stay strong and active. He is equally understanding and respectful of my physical limits- whether it be from nausea, general pregnancy discomforts or general fatigue. In terms of scheduling, we buy our training sessions in packs and have weekly set times. If we need to change our schedule, Ash has been very accommodating. Both Mindy and Ash are very reachable via email or text so communicating with them regarding scheduling or billing has never been an issue for us. Overall I'd highly recommend BK roots for personal training. Both Ash and Mindy are very knowledgeable and experienced and can help make anyone regardless of age or physical fitness level feel strong and capable with their body.

I started going to Mindy last April and she has turned my life around in the past one year. Not only does Mindy take a physiotherapist like attention to detail with injury, she also brings a strongly intuitive understanding of what the body needs to heal itself. I had been hearing about the importance of retaining muscle mass for women in their forties and coming to Mindy addresses that for me as well, in addition to the recovery from my injuries. Mindy assessed my strength and identified every single muscle system that needed work. With all my past attempts to heal myself, the focus had always been the core. She shifted that to be the full body. She had me working on my glutes, hamstrings, and back muscles in addition to my core. Her focus on my shoulders has improved my tech-neck posture and significantly changed the way my body responds to stress. Through the past year, I have had multiple setbacks (back spasm, low iron, low energy levels) and she has always met me where I am at to build the strength back up again. She has advised me on nutrition, conserving iron, and adjusted our sessions for my low energy days just right so I could continue to build from whatever I had. I am now looking forward to going on an anti-inflammatory regimen that she recommended. Previously, she was tracking my food consumption on MyFitnessPal. At 46, I am the strongest I have been since my early 30s, after over a decade of having a broken back. The two sessions with Mindy are so important to me that I plan my travel around them as often as possible. So many of the pains that I thought would never go away are gone now (knee pain, lumbar spine pain). Working with Mindy has been such a gift! I truly appreciate her no-BS, straight talk approach to solving these problems with empathy, deep understanding, and hard work. Thank you for all the healing and my renewed belief in my body's ability to heal!
