I have never been one to do a lot of exercise. I never liked gym and was so happy when it became optional in high school. As an adult, I realized the importance of doing exercise. There are so many benefits to it physically and mentally.
I had hurt my wrist a few years ago and it was awful. I wore wrist braces/k-tape, went to the chiropractor and physiotherapist for years. I remember my physiotherapist telling me that I need to start doing exercise to gain muscle in my arms to prevent my wrist from hurting. I didn’t make too much of it when she told me and continued to visit her every few weeks for temporary pain relief. I started 9Round in September 2017 reluctantly as I knew there would be a lot of punching involved. I asked the trainers to tie the wrist wraps extra tight to prevent further injury. By the end of December, I noticed a significant improvement in my wrist. I no longer needed to wear the wrist brace while working all day on the computer. My physiotherapist told me that I had muscle and because of that my wrist had improved. She was right!
9Round Sage Hill has everything that I like – great environment, music, trainers; it’s a small community. Traditional gyms intimidate me because I’m not in shape and I don’t like to work on machines. This 30 minute workout gives me cardio; strength training and I feel great when I leave. Another example, I have never been able to do a sit-up EVER! Matt and the rest of the trainers never gave up on me and now I can do a sit-up and even more than one in a row. It was such a huge accomplishment for me!
I asked Matt, Certified 9Round trainer and manager, to be a guest on my blog today to give you all some more information on 9Round and the benefits!
Matt:
9Round Sage Hill is the perfect fitness facility for anyone and everyone. We have members in their 20’s 30’s 40’s 50’s and yes, even 60’s. Members who are just looking for their first ever workout and members who have been familiar with fitness for years.

I am a very active person and love experimenting with new workouts. This seems like fun and I’m glad you shared your experience!
You should give this workout a try. I know you’d enjoy it. 🙂
This is so awesome. I love any form of exercise especially ones that differ from going to the gym and on that boring treadmill. What a great workout! xoxo, Christine

Thanks Tam for always being so encouraging even when I feel lazy. 🙂
Oh wow this place sounds amazing. I think you’re absolutely right, it’s so hard to get yourself to exersize sometimes but finding the right one that suits you and motivates you is definitely key.

I totally agree with you Yuena. Finding the right exercise makes all the difference. Xo
That’s great you got back into the routine again! I love going to the gym a few times a week too – I should probably get myself a personal trainer soon 🙂 Good luck!

Really trying to go twice a week – I think it’s so important. Good luck with your workouts – hopefully you got a trainer. 🙂
9Round sounds like such a great and friendly place to workout. I totally get intimidated by gyms as well and prefer working out at home. It’s nice to hear how considerate they are of your needs and concerns and that they offer a free workout session at the start. Truly shows that they care!
xo, Jo
9Round is truly a great place to workout and not intimidating at all. I enjoy every session – great people, great workout – what more could a girl want!
Hey Darling,

It’s hard to stay active but it’s so important. I’m really tiring to go twice/week and make time for it. Goodluck – I’m sure you’ll get back into the groove.
I miss boxing so much! I used to go to a boxing gym, but I am reduced to walking and squats and prenatal videos. I’ll get back into the ring soon enough once I pop this baby out. Boxing is seriously the best total body workout!
I’m so glad you enjoy boxing as well. It truly is a total body workout. Soon enough you’ll be there.Enjoy this precious time!
That sounds like such a fun work out. Sadly my work outs are limited since i tore my ACL. If i had a good leg i would definitely be up for this!
I’m love be for and practice any sport. Love experience more and more . Thanks for sharing boxe is very good aerobic for cardio, force and loose weight.

Anytime. I hope you can try them out. 🙂 Would love to hear your thoughts.
I was always a sucker at sports. It is why I am still so weak. I need to exercise more, I heard boxing is actually great to lose weight and for abs.

I really wish we had a 9Round location in Dallas. It looks like the perfect place to get in a workout. The gym is the best place to relieve stress and for your overall health!
I used to box even though I didn’t consider myself neither a sporty type of girl but I went a few classes and really loved it! It’s a great way to release stress. This 9Round Sage Hill looks like a great place.
