9Round explains the 9 things you need to know pre-workout

The unique fitness franchise recently shared a blog on the 9Round website detailing all the stuff that potential future customers should know ahead of their first 9Round workout.

According to 9Round, there are nine things customers should know before jumping into workout number one. In the words of the gym franchise, “So, you’ve signed up for your free introductory session and are anxiously waiting to try the world’s BEST kickboxing fitness [classes]. Now that you’ve committed to your first workout, you might be wondering what to expect when you arrive at the gym. [...] Check out our insider tips before you visit and get ready to CRUSH your first KILLER workout!” The nine tips/things to know were as follows:

• 9Round is a kickboxing fitness gym - “Our fun and effective kickboxing-themed workouts are designed to help you grow stronger, physically and mentally, in just 30 minutes.”
• 9Round workouts are circuit-based - “9Round doesn’t have class times, and that’s because our workouts run on a circuit. Every 3 minutes a new round begins, so when you’ve completed your first workout and become a member, you can come in on your time and get started on your workout quickly.”
• You need the right clothes - “Wearing proper clothing to your 9Round sweat sessions is critical for your safety, so make sure you’re prepared before your first session with comfortable athletic clothes and shoes.”
• A Champion Trainer is always included - “If you’re tired of walking into a gym and not knowing what to do with your time or all the fancy equipment, then you’re going to love our trainer-led workouts.”
• Work hard, then rest - “Always give yourself time to rest in between your KILLER workouts, so your body can recover and prepare for your next sweat sesh.”
• The franchise has a language of its own - “Like many other fitness programs, we have a unique culture that includes a few words and phrases you won’t hear anywhere else. Don’t be afraid to ask your trainer to clarify what they mean during your first workout if they say something you don’t recognise.”
• You’ll use some interesting equipment - “You can expect to work out using traditional kickboxing bags and equipment. These exciting apparatuses help you punch and kick your way to better health with each 30-minute workout.”
• You might be a little sore the following day - “If you haven’t worked out in a while, then you’re likely going to be sore after your first session—this is referred to as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), which typically sets in within 12 to 24 hours following a workout.”
• There’s 9Round nutrition, too - “Our members enjoy exclusive perks like the complete 9Round Nutrition Guide and new, healthy recipes developed by a certified nutritional coach posted to their online portal each month.”
