9Round was founded with humble beginnings in 2008 by Shannon “The Cannon” Hudson, a World Champion Kickboxer, and his wife Heather “The Hero” Hudson, an avid fitness enthusiast. Since then, with the help of our franchisees and their teams, our kickboxing-fitness franchise has grown tremendously with over 500 locations now open and has been delivering fast, effective, full-body workouts to members of local studios in the U.S., Canada, and across the globe—including studios in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, the UAE, United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia. Our mission at 9Round is making members stronger in 30 minutes, physically and mentally. We’re dedicated to enriching people’s lives and strengthening communities through our kickboxing fitness program, and our network of franchisees is the most important part of making our mission a reality.
