You’ve got to try 9Round! Matt and his team are eager to help you get stronger and so encouraging to everyone who walks in the gym. When I start to get tired during my workouts, they’re always cheering me on with enthusiasm. I’m so grateful for their patience in modeling exercises and encouragement to keep up the good work. Go get your free introductory workout and you will not regret it!

I have loved 9round from the first session. That first one was the hardest ,but a month later and I feel great. All the trainers are fun, challenging and super supportive. It’s like having your own cheer team. No need to worry if you have a bad knee or sore shoulder they can adjust the workout for you. It’s been just the kick in the pants I have needed. P.s. Don’t forget your water! You are going to need it.

Absolutely LOVE this place! The intense workout is PERFECT for what I have been searching for since I stopped competing 5 years ago! I have a score of injuries that prohibit me from other gyms and exercise classes. But 9 rounds has filled every workout need (plus some) that I have and I really enjoy doing the hard work! The trainers are fantastic and are very accommodating when I need to alternate something due to ongoing injuries!! 10 out of 10!!

I had my first Official workout as a member about a week ago. I admit, I was hesitant as I wasn't sure how the trainer would respond to me and my uncoordination, lol. Luckily, she was very understanding and professional. Also, very engaging and patient but at same time, doesn't let you quit. After all, this is what I signed up for, to improve my over all well-being. I look forward to my next workouts and getting to know the staff and other members better. Thank you all for being there for us and believing in us.

As I've been going there collectively, for 2 years. I have met some AMAZING people and Trainers. From Matt(Owner) to Sabrina, Taylor, LeeAnn to Vivian ( Mgr) they all are very welcoming, engaging and work with you on your fitness level. Great workouts, music, motivation from everyone in there. They know everyone by name. Also, since going, my overall health has improved mentally, physically and I have more confidence. Thank you, 9Round!

Awesome experience! I’m technically new to the area and the owner, Matt, welcomed me to give me an introductory class. I love the part where the circuit starts whenever you get there and where one of the stations is you get to practice with the trainer and you receive specific immediate feedback. It was a one of a kind experience for me and I look forward to coming back every time I’m in Louisville because they currently don’t have one in the city where I live in. Great facility, great experience, and great instructors!

Absolutely love this place. I’ve had success in weight lifting and getting healthy in the past, but when COVID hit I allowed complacency to get the better of me and my weight. I was really self conscious going in to a workout routine that was suuuper new to me, but the owner and staff quickly put those fears to rest. The amount of support and motivation that come with this gym genuinely keep me coming back. They know the members by name, and they know when to push you so you even surprise yourself at what you can do. They keep track of the number of times you come so that when you reach milestones measured in the # of workouts you’ve complete you get cool swag items. I make a point to get in at least 4x a week and have noticed that I feel far less stressed than I was before starting here. It’s only been a month, but I’m excited to see what my progress will look like a year from now.

Matt (The owner) is an excellent excellent coach. He makes you feel like the only person in the gym even when the whole place is packed. If you find yourself the only one in the gym with Matt you are in for a real treat. Everyone is good too, I've never had a bad coach. They all know their stuff, they all really care about your individual work out. I call out Matt because he is excellent and he is in charge of everyone else, so he infuses his excellence into them. The workouts are great. You come away sore and exhausted. It pushes you mentally. And you also learn some basic fighting skills. I hope to be at this gym for a year or more and then take a few months off and try out some actual fighting gyms. Who knows if I'll do it but he knows all the gyms in town and offered to help me whenever I felt ready. He is an excellent coach. They all are. Great gym.

I literally love 9Round so much. I enjoy the format of the workouts. Going into traditional gyms can be overwhelming when you don’t have much knowledge about the equipment and different workouts. At 9Round there are 9 stations and each station has a preplanned workout. You can get a full body workout in 30-40 minutes. Also the owner is super supportive and encouraging. There are trainers available to help you.

I stopped in for a workout during a business trip to KY. I’m a longtime 9 Round member in another state. Very cool gym space and location in the Highlands. The owner Matt put me through a great pad workout and John had great motivational energy. I highly recommend this gym for a great workout. IMHO there’s no better way to relieve stress than throwing hooks at the heavy bag.

9 Rounds is a great place to workout for everyone. The Owner Matt is the embodiment of greatness. His skill and knowledge of the arts and the level of comfort he makes with each one of his members makes 9rounds the best gym in town by a landslide. The trainers are always well liked and have the skill base needed to help everyone improve no matter your skill level.

I loved this place. I was at St. Matthew last year before they closed down and had moved to Highlands. To be honest, the first two weeks, I was uncomfortable but I didn't give up and still going there more often. Then I became more comfortable there now than before. I still love when they have different stations every time I book workout. The trainers are amazing and very helpful. I love 30 minutes intense workout.

I unfortunately only got to spend about 3 months at 9round before the pandemic hit, but I loved my time there. From the motivational & friendly trainers, the easy to follow but great workouts, to only being 30 minutes, this gym is awesome! I always left feeling strong & accomplished and I was always motivated to go, which is half the battle in exercise. I would recommend it to everyone & hope to get back there in 2021!

I’ve been working out at 9Round Highlands for two years now and it has been the best fitness experience I’ve had! Matt and the whole training team are incredibly welcoming, encouraging, professional and experienced. They keep the workouts engaging and I’ve seen a lot of positive results between weight loss and increased strength - I can finally do a real push up! The facility and equipment are clean and the trainers do a great job of sanitizing between stations. I’m very happy to be a part of the 9Round Highlands family, and I would highly recommend a membership to family and friends!

I have been working out here for over 2 years now and I’m still obsessed with it! Trainers are amazing and take the time to teach you the right techniques and get to know you personally. It’s a quick 30 minute workout that kicks my butt every time! Each day the workouts change and you are challenged with something new. The gym and trainers are very sanitary due to covid and are constantly wiping down equipment. 10/10 would recommend. (First class is free so go try it out and get hooked like me).

9Round is by far the most fun, upbeat, and challenging class type I have taken! I love the energy and the trainers encourage just the right amount. It's less expensive than many other workout classes and I certainly get a phenomenal workout every time I go! Who has time to fit an hour long workout into their day? The 30 minute sessions are perfect for stress relief and building muscle and tone while not interfering with your day! They've limited class sizes during the pandemic, so I still feel safe and socially distanced while getting a great workout!

Went to this location for close to a year before I had to move away, but I still go to 9Round where I am now. Between diet changes and this gym, I lost about 30lbs. The staff were always great. They got to know me very well and would always help if I wasn't sure how to do an exercise correctly. 9Round offers a perfect mix of personal training and individual workouts. I was never a "gym guy" until I found this place. The trainers helped me learn and feel confident about my abilities and what I could achieve. They will work with you and also give you the independence to become better on your own. I've recommended 9Round to countless friends and will continue to do so.

Love the community, small tight knit family, challenging daily-changing workouts and the open time slots without set class times! Easy location, but could use some more parking. Trainers are always involved, supportive and participating. The member fees aren't too expensive and allow you full access everyday they're open.

Seems as my review got deleted. But I’m not really happy with this location. I love the middle town and the st. Matthews, but the workers at this one aren’t very nice. Besides the owner and the blonde girl. I’ve had a hard time adjusting to this one when I moved out here around two months ago. I feel like this one isn’t as welcoming as the others. I would just suggest working on the staff at this one. I always feel so welcomed at the other ones. I’ve been charged a water on my account with out communication when I had a dollar to pay for it. I just found that rude when you could of simple asked if I was paying it or wanted it on my account.. I’m just blown away with the workers at this one.

I’ve been a member since the end of March and 9Round is the first workout place where I actually look forward to coming to class. What I enjoy the most is the flexibility of class times and diversity of workouts. Having the trainers there to consistently keep me on my feet is also a major benefit. I also appreciate how welcoming the staff is. Every time I step into the room, I am greeted by name which makes me feel appreciated as a member. While I am no where near close to the next Muhammad Ali, thanks to 9Round, I have become stronger, more confident, and gained an appreciation of the sport of kickboxing. I highly recommend giving it a chance.

It's so easy to drop in and 30 minutes is a short amount of time to be able to get in a good workout. I'm really busy and have an unpredictable schedule so it's perfect. It's also very affordable for students, and being able to punch out my stress is so beneficial.

My brother was visiting from out of town, but he knew I loved and missed kickboxing, so he tried the place out and took me next time. DeDe not only hooked him up with a free trial, but I was crazy about 9R Highlands instantly! I cannot say enough how much positivity this place brought to my life in just one year. I now live in another state far, far away, that is 9R-less :( No gym can compare to the genuine friendliness, warmth, sass, and motivation that DeDe and her incredible team provide day after day. They care about their members as people, and greet you by name when you walk in the door.

As for the gym itself, having no class times is a major plus for all of us whose lives are too scheduled as is. The workouts are always different and can be adapted to individual needs. I don't like to think when I work out, but I like to be challenged. There is nonstop awesome energy there that always whipped my buns into gear! PLEASE join this gym! It'll be one of the best things you ever do for yourself, I promise.

The trainers really work with you. Because I am older and have a few ailments the trainers let me work at "my" best pace.

I'm a member so I can give insider knowledge. I worried I would feel exposed with the glass windows facing busy Bardstown road...I'm always so fired up or wore out I don't even notice the windows exist. The trainers are nice and genuinely care about your workout and health and help you modify if a workout is beyond your current level or you have an injury you're recovering from. There are people from all levels of fitness but there's zero intimidation. It's like a workout family.

Get ready to sweat and smile because you will love the workout at 9rounds. Echoing the the other five star reviews, I simply, look forward to going. Maybe its because the coaching is phenomenal and the three minute exercises are challenging yet doable, or simply putting on boxing gloves gets you fired up, either way, your time spent at the studio is both enjoyable and grueling. Give it a try, the first class is free.

Talk about a GREAT space (larger than the other 9 Rounds I've visited) and an even better work out. I didn't know I could push myself so hard. The trainers are full of energy and will help you get the work out that works for you! Best part for me...a gal who's always running late....I'm ALWAYS on time, because my work out starts, when I get there.
I also love the circuit concept, I never get bored because it changes daily and the weekly challenge is super cool to see the members' names each week and how I stack up against them. Try it - you will be glad you did.

9Round Highlands is an amazing gym at an incredible value! I have seen a drastic change in my body composition since I started working out here. The workout is different every day, takes only 30 minutes and works your whole body. There are no class times so you can workout any time the gym is open. Plus, there's always a trainer on the floor showing you what to do and making sure you get the most out of your workout. DeDe (the owner) and her staff are super friendly and are great at challenging and supporting their clients. It's a fun atmosphere that really makes you want to go workout. I would highly recommend 9Round Highlands to any and everyone. The first workout is free so you should definitely give it a try!

Great workout! Flexible full body workout in 27 minutes. The Owner/Operator is on site to guide and train you throughout your workout. Location is great and parking is easy along the back, side and front of building even though located in a busy Highland area. I bought a package deal which included everything I need to use all the kickboxing equipment. As a personal trainer, I find it is the most convenient way to work in a complete workout for myself between all my clients.
