I spoke to Jeff in January about the charges-he said he would call back and followup but never did. I put in a dispute with my credit card company but it did not get resolved because XMA disputed it. I should have never paid for my kids memberships annually...this rollover membership is a ripoff since the company doesn't followup with families. It must be nice just to earn money for kids that don't actually go. Unfortunately, its the families who pay. I heard they were really great at one point, but a bunch of families have mentioned how its gone down hill. Plus I know I'm not the only one who has issues with charges.

Everyone from beginner to the very experienced at this place is very helpful and very friendly. They understand being new is hard and they help in any way they can. I did take a few one on one lessons and then jumped into classes. It's a blast but far from easy. Expect to be a little sore and achy as you will use muscles you had no idea you had. Flexibility is important so plan on getting there a little early to stretch out before class. I've had ACL replacement, hand reconstruction from a severe shattering, and have a hip replacement and I'm 47 years old. If I can get out there and flop around anyone can.

Its generic strip center home flanked by McDonalds and Dairy Queen notwithstanding, I was expecting a gimmicky variation on the Curves theme -- exercise by exposure. Boy was I wrong! 9Round the 30 minute kickboxing gym kicked my relatively fit (not to be confused with shapely) butt! Here's how it works: There are 9 stations set up around the gym which you rotate through for 3 minutes (you can do anything for 3 minutes) each. My trainer, aka Megan "The Machine" Beavis quickly and efficiently told each person exactly what to do, the bell rings and we were off. The exercises are specific to every "boxer" and change every day. It's truly remarkable. Not only was I able to take out my frustrations by hand and by foot on several different-shaped bags (heavy, speed and eliptical), I was able to drop in on my own schedule and burn somewhere between 300-500 calories almost as fast as I could say Muhammed Ali. All the trainers are certified and the owners, husband and wife Shaun Berner and Tina Valaouras are both professional Kickboxers. Classes: Kickboxing all day, every day Schedule: Very flexible. Opens at 6:30 3 days a week and until 8 Mon-Thursday. Atmosphere: New, clean equipment, efficient use of space. Everything you'd expect in a boxing gym but the ropes. Price: $49 a month for unlimited classes Extras: When you enroll you get your very own pair of gloves and hand wraps. Cherry on top: you can choose your own boxer name. Also access to a proprietary nutrition guide
