ZIGZAG
Hi! I’m “ZigZag” Stephanie Zatzke, owner of 9Round AG! I’m a disabled Army veteran with a passion for helping others. I bring the Army’s “never quit"... attitude to the table, and the firm belief that it’s never too late to start something positive for yourself!
I started my journey as a member of 9Round, Citrus Heights, and fell in love with the intense/focused, flexible fitness concept and ‘family’ environment that 9R gyms emphasize. After personally experiencing what this workout can do (for a 45 y/o!) I realized it was time for me to move on, after 20 years as a civil servant, and offer the same opportunities to anyone willing to share 30 min of their day with us!
We believe everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, gender, or otherwise, who wants some “sweat therapy” deserves a safe place to have that; 9Round is an inclusive environment.

SUGAR MAMA
Hi! I'm Jennifer Oliver, manager at 9Round AG!
My 9Round journey started in Utah, November of 2017 as a trainer. I instantly fell in love with the wo...rkouts and the 9Round community. I'm thrilled to be part of the 9Round AG team and back in my home state!
I also love martial arts and have been practicing Dan Zan Ryu Jujitsu for about 6 years.
My fitness journey has been ongoing for several years and I've personally experienced the direct connection between mental health and fitness.
I have a passion for the beauty industry too! I've been a hairstylist for over 15 years.
I love this adventure called life!

ANALOG
Hi! I’m "Analog" Andrew Kho, trainer at 9Round AG!
My 9Round journey started recently, when I met Jenny and Stephanie through martial arts connection...s and a group fitness/cardio kickboxing class. Hearing their excitement for 9Round and how it has changed their lives, and their passion to help others using it, has made me want to join their team. I always like to learn new things and am happy when I can share my knowledge to help others on their fitness and martial arts journeys.
I have been involved in martial arts for about 20 years, exploring many different styles including training in striking, grappling, and weapons. Capoeira has been my primary martial arts focus for the last 5 years, training and teaching classes in San Luis Obispo.
I enjoy being out in nature. Hiking, running on the dunes, swimming, kayaking, and training for Spartan Races, have all been great physical and therapeutic outlets for me. Together, martial arts and fitness have been ways for me to explore human movement as both concise and expressive, functional and creative.
Additionally, I enjoy philosophy and poetry.

BIG KAHUNA
Hello there, I'm Mat Ruszczycky, a trainer at 9Round AG!
I came across 9Round while on a snack run one night & decided that getting back into shape... sounded better than having a beer and popcorn belly. After trying the free first training session I got hooked...not like punched, but, you know what I mean, and I haven't been able to stop since.
I love that within 30 minutes you will get a great workout with a community of awesome people and amazing trainers. Also, personally nothing feels better than seeing people achieve levels of fitness they didn't believe possible in themselves and the sense of confidence and mental health they're able to recognize along with that.
When not at 9Round, I go about my day job as a Web Developer/Engineer and when not doing that you can find me lifting weights, painting, drawing, reading, video games, beach and/or any excuse to get outside just to stay out of trouble.
Favorite Round: - Round 8 Speed Bag
Exercise: Push-ups
Song: NFWMB - Hozier

Hi! I’m Dan “Danimal” Kilgore, trainer at 9Round AG! I became a dad in April of 2019. After a couple years of working on my father figure, I decided i...t was time to switch gears and get my dad bod in shape. I came across 9Round and tried my free work out. I immediately felt connected to the people and environment. I started coming regularly and within a couple months became a trainer! I have 11 years clean and sober, and 9Round offers a healthy outlet with a supportive community. I am currently studying to become a drug and alcohol counsellor and hope to help others through their sobriety journey. For now, I am enjoying helping people reach their fitness goals as I continue to work toward mine!
Favorite round: Round 8.
Favorite exercise: Shin kicks.
Favorite song: Self Esteem by The Offspring.
Favorite quote: “I don’t have to do this; I GET to do this.”
