9Round Hits Silver Spring Drive

The 30-minute total-body kickboxing fitness center will open its doors Wednesday morning.

The owner of a new kickboxing fitness center hopes its unique workout format will be a hit with the North Shore community when he opens the doors to 9Round Whitefish Bay Wednesday morning.

9Round, which already has locations in Oak Creek, Waukesha and Brookfield, will open at 8 a.m. Wednesday at 318 E. Silver Spring Drive. 9Round is a specialized fitness center that brings boxing and kickboxing fitness training in a 30-minute, full-body circuit format. 

Members circulate through nine different workout stations, spending two minutes at each. Between the stations, they take a 30-second active break that consists of burpees, wall sits or jumping jacks.

Whitefish Bay franchisee Ryan Thomson said he uses the equipment at each station to come up with new workouts every day that work a variety of different muscle groups.

"I try not to do the same things," Thomson said. "I try to mix up the workouts to use different muscle groups at each station."
