I really like how personal all the trainers are with everyone that goes here. It is a great motivator to see the same people every day and have them notice your progress. It gives a sense of accountab... ility and a desire to keep coming back, day after day. I also love that you don't have to schedule coming in, like you have to at other gyms. Its extremely convenient to just show up after work or if I feel like it on a day off, and not have to worry about having to schedule and get a slot in a class.I fully intend to keep going to 9round as long as I live in the area.
