Fantastic experience: Kaz and the team have made me feel so welcome. As someone who hasn’t exercised for ages it felt a bit daunting at first, but with a 4 week sticker chart to help get into the routine and learn important things along the way, I’m loving it! The easy 24-hour access makes it really flexible… there’s really no excuses for not being able to turn up and do a workout. And the time flies so quickly! Would highly recommend it.

Zo Hoka Dashati 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I finished my session at 2am and I feel like I've worked hard and can rest deep. Love the flexibility of training whenever I like... Access All Hours is my favourite thing about this club. A close 2nd is being able to choose my own playlist while training out of manned hours, as the music can make or break my session. Thanks Cassie for always checking in.. even if I don't see you that often!

Fran Haas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend 9Round highly enough. Over a year ago I didn't exercise at all and now I go 3-4 times a week. I love the flexibility, the variety (no round is the same 7 days a week) and the friendly trainers and atmosphere. 9Round Papanui has become my happy place and its like a little family. I also love the challenges to keep myself accountable and there's always a friendly competition or two with trainers who truly care! If you're tired and bored of your box standard gym, then come and give these guys a try!

9Round Papanui

Your journey has been epic Fran and you’ve seen the results your hard work has produced. Your consistency and attitude have seen you achieve what you didn’t think you could. Thank you for all your support and being such a great part of our 9R family!

Gary Mcentee 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What a club I honestly can’t express how much I’m loving my 9 rounds experience At 51.5 years old I had just about accepted that I’m going to get older and fatter and buy bigger clothes for the rest of my life I’ve a holiday coming up so I decided to try and shake a few kgs I started a diet , weight was slow coming off so I decided to do an hour at home doing home workouts After a week of enjoying the home workouts I decided I’d look into a gym maybe boxercise aerobic classes I googled boxercise and 9 rounds came up , I’d never really heard anything about it tbh So Nex minute I’m booked in for a free trial at 4 pm the next day I went there with the mind set that no sales person is going to sell me a membership at the end of my free trial I even had it in my mind that I wanted to shop around and look at different gyms and maybe I could do a few free trails and then decide I also wanted to see if the home workouts I was doing that would take me 1 hour I wanted to see if 9 rounds was any better for the sweating element So as the story goes I was on round 7 and in my mind I was saying “TAKE MY F%#KING MONEY “ After round 9 I went straitgh over to the manager Jess and said “SIGN ME UP “ Another reason why 9 rounds is so bloody brilliant is that it’s literally 30 mins of your day Every day is different, as in exercises and everyday u have different sore muscles Anyways I’m now down from 93.8 kilos to a whooperoonie weight of 82.3 kilos 11.5 kilos In a very short period I’ve still got 1 week 3 days to my Spanish holiday and if I get to 12.7 kilos (which I reckon I will ) that will make it 12.7 kilos And as I’m from Ireland that equates to 2 stone which is 28 pounds Thanks 9 rounds for your awesome gym and lovely staff members Keep up the amazing work Yours sincerely Gary Mc Entee

Fantastic experience: The best community and family focussed club! I recently moved from Melbourne and gym I loved, not hopeful I would find something to fill the void, but I did! 9 rounds Papanui is the best fit for me and my family. I can bring the kids along, showing them how important it is to move your body each day, and get in an epic workout...at the same time! The team there are so supportive, always there for motivation, accountability and to help you grow. The best decision I made

Fantastic experience: Joining 9Round has been life changing for me and one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's unlike any other gym, in the best ways - the routine changes everyday, there are no set times so you can just show up & get started. The trainers are absolutely incredible (a huge thank you to Jesse for being so welcoming, helpful & patient with me), everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is fun & uplifting! Go down and see the team at 9Round Papanui - you won't regret!

Fantastic experience: Signed up for a 6 week challenge at 9 round not knowing what to expect.

Trainers have all been super supportive. I'll definitely be signing on once the challenge ends!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a fun, high-intensity workout that will push you to your limits, then 9Round is definitely worth checking out. This gym offers a unique and effective full-body workout that incorporates boxing and kickboxing techniques, as well as cardio and strength training exercises. One of the things I love about 9Round is the convenience - there are no class times, so you can show up at any time and jump right into a workout. The workouts are also only 30 minutes long, which is perfect if you're short on time but still want to get a great workout in. The trainers at 9Round are knowledgeable and motivating, and they do a great job of pushing you to work harder and reach your fitness goals. They're also very friendly and approachable, which creates a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The gym itself is clean and well-maintained, with all the equipment you need for a challenging workout. There are also plenty of modifications available for people with injuries or physical limitations. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and effective workout that will help you build strength, burn calories, and improve your overall fitness.

Lisa Mitchell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Are you the kind of person who always puts everybody & everything ahead of your own well being and just never have time for a gym. That was me a few years ago, I then decided it was time to do something. I’m definitely not a gym person but love 9 Rounds.

Julie L 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: For anyone sitting on the fence or who has injuries give the free trial a go!! I was very apprehensive before joining 9Rounds as I have tried many gyms and Physios in the past years due to having plates and screws in both my hips. So I am limited on different exercises and movements I can do due to this, and didnt want to be judged or pushed aside by the trainers (because im in the to hard basket as has happened in the past). But all the trainers and Owner have all been so awesome and help modify or completely change the exercise so I am still working the same muscles but in a way that is safe and manageable for me. I was worried people might look at me differently for having things changed up, but there are a few other people who also need this done for their workouts and no one notices as they are all to busy worried about their own workouts/goals which was a massive worry for me feeling different. I joined with my sister n laws and 2 friends and we are all loving supporting each other and working towards all our own goals. So Im giving them 5 Stars because I can rock up there and be myself and workout!! #loving9roundspapanui

9Round Papanui

Aww Julie. You are a superstar and you don’t let your limitations hold you back! Keep up the awesome work!

Natasha Flannagan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I enjoy 9 round papanui because I can take my daughter with me to the class. The trainers are so good with her, makes training a bit easier. Really enjoy the convenience of no booking into classes and showing up when I can!!!

9Round Papanui

Cheers Tash. Having a kid friendly environment means awesome Mums like you can get some ‘you’ time in…

Chloe S 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joining 9Round Papanui was one of the best decisions I have made. The trainers are always there to support and motivate you, to remind you to come in for session, and help you when you need it. Love the fact that you can turn up at anytime as there are no set class times, which means I never miss out due to running late. Highly recommend for all ages and fitness levels.

9Round Papanui

Thanks Chloe. No class times definitely helps when you’re a busy person!

Nikita Muir 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Finally found a gym that works for me! No schedules or class times which works perfectly for this busy mum. The trainers are super friendly and helpful! And with such huge variety of members, everyone is there for their own journey cheering each other on. I had my first day back from time off being injured and the trainers were amazing, giving me modified exercises that work with my rehab. Couldn’t ask for a better support system and I cannot believe I actually missed going to the gym when I was off injured!! 100/10 recommend!!

9Round Papanui

Hey Nikita, we missed you but are glad you’re back loving it! Everyone supporting each other on their own journeys is one of my favourite things to see in club too!

Christana Moana 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best thing I ever did was join 9 Rounds!!! The trainers are great and take the time to show you each station if you are unsure. My confidence has definitely grown from the first time I signed up and I look forward to continue my journey with the team!!

9Round Papanui

You have made such amazing progress Christana. We love watching you grow in confidence!

Aaron Nottage 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Well where do I start… the manager has the amazing arms so why not come along just for them…. The head trainer has one of the great beards I’ve seeing by a trainer..and one the of greats on the pads when he on his game!!! Now the owners… if you wanna come to a clean and tidy gym you must come in on a Thursday best Sadie the cleaning lady I’ve seeing since Mary Poppins… but in all seriousness one of the great club (apart from the mob)… love pap 9rounds..

9Round Papanui

Cheers Aaron! Your banter is what keeps me motivated when I’m cleaning!…we totally love having you as a part of our 9R family and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Rachel McCormick 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a mum of three teenagers I let myself slip to the bottom of the list but early 2022 I decided to change that for myself. I walked into 9Round and haven't stopped walking in since. The trainers are OK (they are actually amazing but I don't want Sean to get a big head). The type of exercise is fun and you see results quickly. The trainers push you to your limits and handle my banter when I want to chat back (which is often)! Sean's singing is definitely something however I wouldn't call it a treat. If you are looking for a place to exercise and improve your health you should definitely consider 9Round you won't be disappointed!

9Round Papanui

Hey Rach, so glad you finally decided to put you first! We love your chats and seeing you get the results you have! Keep being awesome!

Tanitia Moana 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since joining 9 rounds I have never felt more confident! The trainers are literally the best. I have some health issues which stops me from being able to do some things but they will just switch something up that works better for me. Joining 9 rounds papanui has been one of the best decisions I’ve made and was easy too having my girls join at the same time meaning more motivation

9Round Papanui

We love seeing you and your crew training so hard and smashing those goals Nesha!

Kelly Hutton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: So glad I decided to give 9 Round Papanui a crack! They know everyone who walks through the door by name, what makes you tick and how hard to push you when you are on the pads. Nothing better than a solid 30 minute workout with trainers on hand to assist with form and motivation…plus a smile and some good chat! Highly recommended

9Round Papanui

Kelly your story is an inspiration! We love seeing your smile in club and know how much you love a good pads round!

Nikki Cochrane 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Learning to love the gym!! Trainers are absolutely the best. So welcoming, positive and they genuinely get to know you. Love that you can turn up anytime and jump into a workout so there’s no excuse for a busy schedule! Feels good to prioritise my own health and well-being and appreciate having the team at 9-round Papanui to support

9Round Papanui

Glad you’re prioritising ‘you’ Nikki! And I love your taste in music! It’s always a fun time when we’re in club together!

kiwisaz 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am a new member of the 9Round in Papanui and absolutely loving it. The staff are so welcoming, and the trainers are really engaging and great energy. The gym is clean, great music, and each day awesome selection of rounds to do. My body is thanking me! Great camaraderie among members who are also welcoming and helpful when they see you scratching your head when you forget your way. Haha. Definitely worth the investment. They can’t keep me away!

9Round Papanui

We love that you are loving it! Great camaraderie is something we value!

Nadine Sawma 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A friend had been recommending 9Round Papanui to me for years, but I was sceptical, assuming it would be a tacky and budget approach to working out… how wrong I was!!! I wish I’d joined sooner. The trainers are encouraging, genuine, skilled, and knowledgeable. The facilities and equipment are high quality. The workouts change daily and are suitable for all fitness levels and goals, and because there are no class times, even on a bad day, I struggle to find an excuse not to go! In fact, my 9Round session is often the anchor-point of my day. Best of all are the other members - from all ages, sizes, and fitness levels - everyone is friendly and supportive, and happy to laugh (and sweat) with you!!

9Round Papanui

So glad you gave us a go Nadine! We love having you as one of our awesome members.
