9Round, a kickboxing fitness franchise, recently opened a new location at 4635 Cortez Road W., Bradenton. The new location is the first in the local area and one of more than 500 worldwide. A typical 9Round workout consists of a 30-minute circuit format, with routines that change daily and are led by trainers. There are no class times and a new session starts every three minutes. The workouts include cardio, weight training, abdominal exercises and kicks and punches on 100-pound, double-end, upper-cut and speed bags.
