9Round Opens in Lincoln, Nebraska,

Offers 30-Minute Workout Focused on Kickboxing Techniques

Lincoln, NE – The world of fitness franchising has grown dramatically in recent years. And in a landscape once dominated by big-box gyms, the expansion of smaller, more specialized facilities is rapidly gaining ground. One such fitness concept that is achieving a competitive edge over the local marketplace is 9Round, a kickboxing fitness franchise. And it’s showing no signs of slowing down.

The new gym, located at 2655 S. 70th Street, Suite C, uses an intense 30-minute workout focused on kickboxing techniques to achieve a total body workout.

“Consumers are becoming more aware and ambitious with their fitness levels and are looking for real fitness programs and not just access to fitness equipment,” said 9Round owner Whitney Nichols. “There is something empowering about kickboxing – it is the sense of empowerment that appeals to most people. 9Round isn’t just a gym, it’s a lifestyle.”

Developed by reigning IKF Light Middleweight Kickboxing Champion of the World, Shannon “The Cannon” Hudson, 9Round workouts consist of nine, three-minute stations of activities that include cardio, weight training, abdominal exercises and kicks and punches on 100-pound, double-end, upper cut and speed bags. A real boxing bell rings to begin the workout, another to warn the station is ending and a third to signal the end. Members have a 30-second active break between rounds to recover.

There are no class times, trainers are always on site to motivate and lead the workouts, and routines change daily, giving members a fresh workout every time they come in.

“Our goal is to help people reach their physical fitness goals, 9-rounds at a time,” said Nichols. “9Round is the perfect setting to meet your goal, whatever that may be. Since each workout is only 30 minutes, there are no excuses for you to not come in and enjoy a great workout.”

9Round of Lincoln (S. 70th) is open Monday-Thursday 8:00-1-30, 3:30-7:30, Friday 8:00-1:30, 3:30-6:30 and Saturday 8:00-12:00.

First time visitors get a free 30-minute workout session.
